Location & Background
Coral Shell sits at L.G. Smith Blvd 40 in Oranjestad — directly on the waterfront boulevard, steps from Nikki Beach and Surfside Beach. This is downtown Aruba's most prestigious residential address: the waterfront strip of Oranjestad that runs from the Renaissance Marina northward, fronting the Caribbean Sea with unobstructed ocean views.
Coral Shell Condominiums was conceived and completed in 2018 with a singular vision: to build a legacy residence worthy of Aruba's most coveted waterfront. The project was led by one of the island's most prominent private families, and the architecture was entrusted to a Spanish architect trained in the tradition of Antoni Gaudi — bringing an organic, material-rich design sensibility to the Oranjestad waterfront that sets this building apart from anything else on the island.
