The "Wave-Dweller Clan”
Our Seasonal Resident Community
Wave-Dweller Clan Members are those community members who visit our island regularly
and who would like to be involved with the Tribe at CAPULANA BAY, on a part-time basis.
People who would like to have an integral, sustainable vacation home in Panama.
As members of the Wave-Dweller Clan they are valued and offer fresh energy and support.
They are honoured as voting members and they have the option of either building their own house
or having a house is built for them with the purchase of their Wave-Dweller Clan membership.
In the event that a house is built for them, it remains the property of
The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe, and is used by the Wave Member
on a "time-share" basis.
​
Wave-Dweller Clan members who do not own their own house may reside rent free,
at The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village for 3 months of the year, with the option to rent for
additional months at a discounted rate of 50%.
With money received from these Wave-Dweller Clan membership fees, CAPULANA BAY
will build a small dwelling, for the member’s use.
Members may choose from available designs, or submit one to be evaluated.
The structure is owned by The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe.
​
Unless building their own dwelling, Wave-Dweller Clan Members may help decide on
the type of dwelling will be built, and may even assist in the construction
if desired, but will not own the structure.
All such units remain the property of The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe,
and are managed by THE CIRCLE OF STONES FOR HOSPITALITY.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
These units will be rentable by The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe
during unoccupied months of the year.
If members choose not to use the unit for their allotted 3 months,
they may gift the use of the unit, to a guest of their choosing,
or receive the cash value of the rental, minus a 25% management fee should
The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe be able to keep the unit rented.
Wave-Dweller Clan Members have voting rights in the annual Tribal meetings
and enjoy member discounts on events and services produced by
The CAPULANA BAY Eco-Village & Tribe.
All members are required to pay annual dues.
