The inspiration behind the name
Aquilo takes its name from the north wind, associated with changing seasons and renewal. It expresses the spirit behind the proposed resort and residences: a fresh perspective on life along Lake Eustis.
The Aquilo is a proposed project. The program, design, brand affiliations, approvals, financing, and schedule remain subject to development agreements and further review. No hotel affiliation or opening date is represented here as finalized.
Lakefront Townhome Residences
An opportunity to live on the water — celebrating the nature and beauty of the Lake Eustis waterfront while staying connected to downtown. Stroll to shopping, restaurants, the resort and the rooftop CIRRUS, with residences also enjoying access to the resort’s amenities. This is a true lakefront contemporary lifestyle, being created now.
