Apia was a man from the village of Gran Slee.
The island (paati in Saramaccan) is named after him because he was the first to build a camp there.
Apia was a fisherman, and from the island he could quickly reach the river to fish.
Tourists have been visiting the island since 1993, and today there is an eco resort (powered by solar panels).
Apiapaati is a high-quality resort, but built entirely in the Saramaccan tradition: the huts are thatched with palm leaves, which protect against the sun during the day and keep things pleasantly cool in the evening.
