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 .
