Location & Background
L'Aquila is located at J.E. Irausquin Blvd 244, Eagle Beach — directly behind Le Vent Condominium, putting residents within a short walk of the waterline. Eagle Beach is consistently ranked among the world's best beaches, known for its wide white sand, calm turquoise water, and the absence of the vendor and jet-ski congestion that affects busier Caribbean beaches. The private pedestrian beach access built into L'Aquila means you do not cross the boulevard on foot — you go directly to the sand.
L'Aquila Residences was first unveiled in 2019 by Cas Bon Group — one of Aruba's most established construction companies, with over 1,300 homes built across 20+ residential communities since 1996. The concept was ambitious from the start: not just a new condominium, but a building that would mark a before and after in Aruba's architectural history.
Architecture & Construction
Designed by architect Alexander Coronel of Aruba Design Studio, L'Aquila was conceived as a sculptural landmark — a building meant to mark a before and after in Aruba's architectural history. The name says everything: L'Aquila is Italian for eagle, and the entire design language flows from that single idea. The L-shaped, seven-story silhouette echoes outstretched wings. The signature resort pool is sculpted in the shape of an eagle in flight. The honeycomb facade combines textured and smooth surfaces to reference the organic layering of coral rock. This is not a building that borrows an aesthetic for marketing purposes — the concept runs from the structure down to the finishing details.
The construction method reflects the same commitment to quality. L'Aquila is built using ICF — Insulated Concrete Form — a construction technology that delivers superior energy efficiency, structural resilience, and acoustic performance compared to conventional concrete block. ICF buildings maintain cooler interior temperatures naturally, reducing the load on air conditioning and lowering running costs for owners and renters. The building is also equipped with an integrated solar panel system, reducing common-area energy costs and contributing to the development's sustainability credentials.
Unit Guide
L'Aquila offers 90 residences across two towers on Eagle Beach — each one fully finished and ready to live in or rent from day one. Every unit comes with Italian-inspired interiors: European cabinetry, large-format porcelain floors, double-pane sliding doors opening onto a private terrace, and split-unit inverter A/C throughout. No compromises on any floor, any tower.
1-Bedroom The smartest entry point on Eagle Beach. At 82–104 m², these units feel generous for their category — open-plan living, a well-proportioned bedroom, quality bathroom, and a terrace that actually gets used. Four configurations to choose from across both towers and all seven floors, so you can pick your view and your price point. Strong rental performers: compact enough to fill easily, distinctive enough to command a premium rate.
Type C-1 · 84 m² · Tower A & B · Floors 1–7 Type C-2 · 84 m² · Tower A & B · Floors 1–2 Type F · 82.4 m² · Tower B · Floors 1–7 Type G · 104 m² · Tower A & B · Floors 1–7
2-Bedroom Where most buyers land — and for good reason. At 137–157 m², L'Aquila's 2-bedroom units give you real space: two full bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living area that flows to the terrace, and enough room that a week-long stay feels like home rather than a hotel room. Starting from $979,000, these are the best balance of cost, lifestyle, and rental return in the building.
Type B · 144 m² · Tower A · Floors 1–7 Type D · 137 m² · Tower B · Floors 1–7 Type E · 157 m² · Tower B · Floors 1–7
3-Bedroom For buyers who want everything. At 168–220 m², the 3-bedroom units at L'Aquila are among the most spacious new-build condominiums on Eagle Beach. Three bedrooms, three (or 2.5) bathrooms, generous living and dining areas, and terraces that make outdoor living a daily habit. The Type A is the flagship — 220 m² across all seven floors of Tower A.
Type A · 220 m² · 3 bed / 3 bath · Tower A · Floors 1–7 Type C-3 · 168 m² · 3 bed / 2.5 bath · Tower A & B · Floors 3–7
Penthouse L'Aquila does not sell a separate "penthouse" unit — instead, Type A on the 6th and 7th floors of Tower A is where the penthouse experience lives. At 220 m², three en-suite bedrooms, and positioned at the top of the building with unobstructed views toward Eagle Beach, these are the most sought-after units in the development. Buyers who want the best floor, the best views, and the largest footprint should look here first. Limited availability — two floors, one unit type.
