Villa Carolina is a reality! The name Villa Carolina is inspired by the former plantation 'Carolina', which lies next to Plantation 'Ayo' in Suriname. For Villa Carolina's name sign we chose the beautiful Carolina parakeet. This is a unique parrot species, originally from North America, that was declared extinct worldwide in 1939. The last wild specimen was seen in the United States in 1910.
Villa Carolina was completed in July 2024. Together with the contractor we delivered the design visually in 3D, and the end result is picture-perfect. Watch the video below, see our building plans and vision, and see the beautiful end result for yourself (and the comparisons).
Note: In the meantime we've added lots of things and the park has only become more beautiful. The updated photos can be seen on this page.
Additional Information:
Building a beautiful project like this happens in various stages, and we encountered several challenges along the way. At the beginning, we asked ourselves: what are we getting into? But at the same time, we felt the excitement of seeing our dreams actually become a reality. From nothing more than bushes, rocks, and sand, to the beautiful Park Ayo Bonaire. Throughout the process, we took photos to take you step-by-step through the realization of the first holiday villa, Villa Carolina.
