With the first ESPA-branded spa in the United States and a restaurant by the famed Il Mulino New York, Acqualina will be the ideal playground for discriminating travelers. What many don’t know, however, is that Acqualina will cater to more than just the couple seeking a romantic getaway or the mature traveler seeking relaxation. With an extremely creative and unparalleled marine biology-based children’s program dubbed AcquaMarine, kids will have the experience of a lifetime, allowing parents the option of joining in the fun or finding time for themselves. Activities for the kids won’t end when the sun goes down. With evening programs such as Saturday Kid’s Night Out and top-notch nanny services, a romantic candle-lit dinner for two on the beach or a night on the town in South Beach are finally real possibilities.
“Every detail of the Acqualina experience has been thoughtfully planned and refined to meet the high expectations of our well-traveled guests,” said Robert Todak, vice president and managing director of Acqualina. “The numerous first-class children’s activities and facilities that constitute the AquaMarine Program demonstrate just a few of the many superior services we will offer our customers.”
In keeping with its name, the AcquaMarine Program will focus on all things pertaining to the ocean, combining education, exercise and fun to keep kids learning and laughing all day long. Children will have plenty of options including: a day of “Acqua Patrol” activities, which teaches kids about the world of the Coast Guard; a “Whimsical Waves” program that takes children on a journey of waves through science projects, wave-making arts and crafts and skim boarding adventures; the “Junior Guards” beach-awareness workshop, which teaches children all about what it takes to be a life guard; the “City Under the Sea” program that explores the mysterious underwater city known as the reef through snorkeling and the creation of an “edible reef.” Other programs include the “Stranded Along the Coast” sand-exploration program, “Sharks and Rays,” and the “Wonderful World of Whales.” Acqualina has chosen Miami Fitness Connection (MFC) to oversee the AcquaMarine Program’s scheduled activities and all on-property events. MFC’s experienced and dedicated staff holds numerous certifications including first aid, CPR, swimming instruction, bachelors and masters degrees in education and science. MFC’s skill set and experience in children’s activities and program-design guarantee that Acqualina will offer the most innovative, educational, service-oriented and fun program in the area. In addition to the AcquaMarine’s designated programs, kids will also enjoy the state-of-the-art, 500-square-foot children’s room, complete with a computer center, video games, toys, microscopes, movies and even a storytelling hour. Here, kids will be invited to participate in arts and crafts, outdoor games, scrap-booking and other seasonally planned activities.
