About Us

The Cayman Resident was created by Joanna Boxall who was born and raised in the Cayman Islands. She runs Acorn Media with a phenomenal team of people who are passionate about Cayman and who delight in researching essential information about Cayman, whether you are living in Cayman, doing business in Cayman or looking to move to the Cayman Islands.

As the team has grown, so has the information on the website and the information in the Cayman Resident magazine which is now in its 17th year. The magazine has grown every year and boasts over 400 pages crammed packed with island information. The Cayman Resident website and magazine are both considered to be the undisputed “bible” for people moving to the Cayman Islands and for existing residents.

Close followers will have noticed the subtle branding change as both the magazine and website have adopted the ‘Cayman Resident’ name (moving away from ‘Cayman New Resident’) in recognition of the fact that these guides are just as useful to existing Cayman residents as they are to new arrivals.

Other guides produced by Acorn Media are Cayman Good Taste which is the most comprehensive guide available for restaurants in the Cayman Islands. And the Explore Cayman guide which is a guide for both visitors and residents that highlights the best things to do in the Cayman Islands. In 2018, Acorn Media also introduced Cayman Parent which is the definitive guide to parenting in Cayman.

Our newest publication is the Camana Bay Guide which is a tenant initiated directory to all things that are available to do in Camana Bay.
