Overview
George Town is where barefoot-in-the-sand luxury meets polished, international flair. This compact and pristine capital is your gateway to the legendary Seven Mile Beach, a breathtaking crescent of soft, white sand and turquoise water. But the real star is just a boat ride away at Stingray City, a shallow sandbar where you can stand in waist-deep water as gentle southern stingrays glide around you. Back on land, the town has a dazzling array of duty-free shops, colorful waterfront buildings, and fantastic restaurants. This is a port that effortlessly combines natural beauty with refined indulgence.
