In recent years many millions of dollars have been invested in the upgrade of Aruba hotels, airport, cruise & bus terminal, shopping malls, attractions & spas. Designated by the Aruban government for condominiums, Eagle Beach started showing a number of luxury condo complexes. Unlike the majority of developments, Oasis Luxury Condominiums opted for a Mediterranean-style, low-density residence, boasting privacy and intimacy.
Oasis was conceived as a 35-unit sanctuary from the rush, on a sizeable Eagle Beach lot – 8,750 m2, designed for two low-rise buildings, of just five stories each, with a selection of spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments. The push for condo development is a natural progression for the island and it is driven by Aruba’s many repeat visitors. Thirty years ago, Aruba had the insight to introduce the timeshare, vacation ownership concept. In fact when the Aruba Beach Club was built, it was the 8th timeshare resort in the world! Timeshare was in diapers when it landed here and it matured nicely hand in hand with that baby-boomers generation which embraced family travel. While visitors got to come back to ‘their island’ each year, Aruba greatly benefited from the highest rate of visitors return in the Caribbean. As that baby-boomers generation aged, their needs evolved. Today, many of the island’s repeat guests clearly express their intention to purchase a place they can call their own for more than a week or two per year.
A spokesperson developing Oasis Luxury Condominiums at Eagle Beach reports that while the present economic climate is perhaps discouraging towards real estate purchases, in reality, now is a good time to buy, as good as last year and perhaps twice as exciting. Aruba’s real estate market is stable, prices on the island have not dropped which clearly indicates that Aruba’s real estate market was and remains an excellent investment opportunity. Oasis at Eagle Beach offers more than a spectacular view. Some of the amenities include floor to ceiling glass doors and panoramic windows, spacious terraces, marble bathrooms, kitchens nicely finished with great detail, high tech appliances and fully air-conditioned spaces. The hallways and corridors have been especially created to allow sunshine and fresh air, befitting a tropical lifestyle. The fully landscaped free-form swimming pool with water falls and fiber-optic lighting, wraps around a two story club-house, with an elegant port cochere, offering a fully equipped gym and a reception which will provide 24/7 services, including a knowledgeable around-the-clock concierge, and security.
Condo-owners with time on their hands and just modest financial resources, may share a wonderful vacation with their kids, also inviting assorted family members and friends to spend quality time together. The condo may also become a more tangible legacy for children, besides memories of good times had on the island. Naturally, for the still active and involved visitor, high speed DSL global internet and a sophisticated telecommunications network will make it possible to live on the beach, while staying in touch with the world and with business. Playing golf while running an office from the tropics, does that sound attractive? You bet it does.
The developers of Oasis Aruba, F.G. Developers NV, picked a highly reputable and internationally recognized contractor, Deconferca – www.deconferca.com, to translate their vision into reality. Together, they have been making the significant investment, which clearly demonstrates the confidence business visionaries have in this island. Aruba’s investors believe that the island will continue to be successful, and continue its role as “tourism trailblazer” in the Caribbean. With more than 1 million tourist arrivals each year, by cruise ship and by air, with a majority of them from the United States, one happy island is raising the bar on everything including condominiums.
