Villa Ayahora at Aywasi Bay
Villa Ayahora at Aywasi Bay
In the Kalinago Territory, a privately owned, three-bedroom, 3 bathroom villa-rental sits nestled within the verdant Salybia community. Villa Ayahora is owned by Kalinago, Nichie Abo, who once lived abroad but has now retired to the community where he was raised. The villa is within walking distance from the Kalinago Barana Aute.
This area is called Aywasi, the Kalinago word for“ Thundering Bay”. When Nichie was growing up, Aywasi Bay was the place from where the fishermen in the village would leave for the day’ s fishing. Today, this is done from a modern facility in a neighbouring village outside of the Territory.
A mere five-minute walk from the villa, there’ s a small dipping pool, safely protected from the rough Atlantic ocean. Villagers have access to the natural pool but it is usually the villa’ s guests who head down there to bask in its warmth.
The Villa Ayahora experience is authentic. Sophisticatedly rustic, all-wood with an extensive garden, guests have the freedom to wander amidst the fruit trees- mango, guava, banana, cherry, coconut and more- pick and eat whatever’ s in season. Then, relax on the balcony, enjoying the sounds of the ocean as it wafts up from Aywasi Bay.
