From West Bay to Puerto Rico

In November 2026, Juliana will represent the Cayman Islands at Miss Universe 2026 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, United States. She will compete against more than 120 other candidates including Caroline Porras, 24, of Bonaire, Mariale Acosta, 24, of Costa Rica, Angela Pitao Aumonier, 25, of Great Britain, Chloé Deher, 31, of Guadeloupe, Jennifer Barretto, 27, of Puerto Rico, Bernella Velinor, 33, of Saint Lucia and Jenna-Monét Queeley of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

West Bay offers a serene, authentic escape. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, this residential district provides access to some of the island’s most iconic natural landmarks, such as the Cayman Turtle Centre and the unique limestone formations of Hell.

In contrast, Puerto Rico is a vibrant, diverse Caribbean archipelago that pulses with energy. As a U.S. territory, it offers a blend of historical depth and modern excitement. Visitors flock to Old San Juan to walk its historic blue cobblestone streets and explore centuries-old forts like El Morro.

While West Bay provides a tranquil, focused experience, Puerto Rico offers a fast-paced, multifaceted journey perfect for history buffs, foodies, and those craving an immersive cultural adventure. Both destinations are stunning, yet they cater to entirely different styles of travel.
