Villa Aanya

In Speightstown, only an 8-minute drive away, you’ll find Tiyi By Design Art Jewelry Studio which is a great place to admire local talent. The studio is full of handcrafted and artistic jewellery, with each being individually designed and created by a professional art jeweller. The artist Ichia Tiyi works in the studio, with her methods and practises being able to be viewed in real time, up close. You can even learn how to make your own small piece of original jewellery. If you want something stylish that details the talent of a local Bajan, this is the place to come to!

The famed Cherry Tree Hill lies at only a 20-minute drive away from Villa Aanya. The picturesque location is regularly frequented to take photographs and take in the scenery. Although mostly empty, the hill is worth visiting when driving across the island, simply for its spectacular view over the east coast, hillside and the ocean. The road on the way is an adventure in itself and when you reach the hill, you’ll be able to relax and take in the surroundings that were well worth stopping for.

Known for its calming effect, Cherry Tree Hill borders the Parishes of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew and sits nearly 850 feet above sea level. It is part of the St. Nicholas Abbey plantation, which is a fantastic site itself.
