Acqualina, Mediterranean Grandeur in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

Since opening in May 2006, Acqualina Resort & Spa has the feel of a palatial villa with all the exceptional amenities of a world class resort. Situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Acqualina was carefully modeled after a grand European piazza and provides a luxurious environment replete with gourmet dining, spa, and close proximity to Bal Harbour and the lively Miami Beach and South Beach areas. The property was recently named one of the 100 most exquisite resorts in the world by Robb Report magazine.

Soaring over the Atlantic Ocean on South Florida’s fabled coastline, Acqualina is a masterpiece that sits on 400 feet of oceanfront property. Graced with panoramic vistas of the ocean and Miami’s glittering skyline, the resort’s 51-story Mediterranean-inspired tower features a 97-room ultra-luxury resort and 188 lavish residences.

The luxurious 20,000-square-foot, two-story ESPA at Acqualina overlooks the glistening ocean and provides resort guests and outside clients with a tranquil sanctuary, including 16 treatment rooms and an outdoor spa veranda with a heated jet pool and fresh-water pool. The first U.S. spa location for the renowned UK-based spa authority, ESPA brings its world-renowned products and signature treatments to the pristine South Florida coastline.

Acqualina is also home to the acclaimed Italian restaurant Il Mulino New York. Renowned for its bustling and energetic atmosphere, market fresh daily specials, extensive selection of fine Italian wines and an impeccably polished wait staff, Il Mulino New York brings with it a reputation of tremendous success, including a #1 Italian Restaurant rating in New York City by Zagat for an astonishing 20 years.
