Meraki Wellness

Comprising the luxury spa and wellness facilities of The Watermark project, Meraki Wellness is the Cayman Islands’ first purpose-built standalone wellness destination — redefining the Caribbean’s approach to luxury wellbeing. Set along the pristine shores of Seven Mile Beach, the 16,000-square-foot retreat brings together architecture, innovation, and artistry in an experience designed to nurture both body and mind.

Founded by Peter and Shula Clarke, Meraki Wellness embodies the spirit of its Greek namesake — “meraki,” meaning to pour one’s soul, creativity, and love into what one does. The result is a holistic sanctuary where wellness transcends the expected, anchored in craftsmanship, sensory immersion, and the pursuit of balance.

Nothing is accidental. Textures, scents, lighting, air quality, temperature and even sound are all calibrated to encourage a peaceful state of mind. Mind, body and soul are all treated with the utmost care. For example, the lighting shifts subtly throughout the day. Music transitions to match circadian rhythms. Floors prioritize natural materials like wood to enhance grounding. The air itself is purified to 99.99995 per cent — the first spa in the world to achieve this standard.

From the wellness café to purpose-built event spaces to five distinct relaxation lounges, Meraki Wellness is a community hub as much as a sanctuary. Locals, travellers, families, executives — everyone finds a place to breathe, recharge and reconnect. But the real game-changer, among the many one-of-a-kind highlights Meraki Wellness offers, is a snow room. The first in the Caribbean. It introduces contrast therapy in a playful, sensory and unforgettable way.

“Meraki Wellness is poised to elevate the wellness landscape in the Cayman Islands and beyond. We strive to be imaginative and innovative. We see things differently in order to refine and inspire.” — Peter Clarke, Co-Founder of Meraki Wellness

“There is no better location for the first Meraki Wellness than an island known for its ‘Cayman Kindness’.” — Shula Clarke
