This summer, rediscover the magic of Florida’s coast with a luxurious stay at Acqualina Resort, where Mediterranean elegance meets the ease of a stateside escape. Set along the glittering shores of Sunny Isles Beach, this award-winning resort blends old-world sophistication with the sun-drenched charm of South Florida—delivering a seaside experience that rivals the most iconic international destinations.
Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat, a stylish getaway with friends, or a memory-making family vacation, Acqualina’s spacious oceanfront suites and apartment-style accommodations set the scene for effortless luxury. With up to three bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, expansive living rooms, and private terraces overlooking the Atlantic, these suites offer all the comforts of a private residence with the perks of a five-star resort. It’s the perfect setting for couples to reconnect, families to spread out, or friends to celebrate summer in style.
Guests can enjoy personalized service, exclusive beach amenities, and curated experiences without ever needing to leave the property—but should you choose to explore, the best of Miami is just minutes away.
One can’t-miss destination? Aventura Mall, recently named the Best Mall in the United States by USA Today. Just a short drive from the resort, Aventura Mall is a world-class shopping and cultural destination. From luxury fashion houses like Gucci, Balenciaga, and Cartier to contemporary art installations, chef-driven restaurants, and family-friendly activities, it’s an ideal complement to your Acqualina escape.
Here’s what your perfect Acqualina summer itinerary might look like:
Day 1: Arrive in style and check in to your private suite. Sip chilled Prosecco on your terrace as the sun sinks into the Atlantic.
Day 2: Wake to the sound of waves, then enjoy a sunrise yoga class followed by a signature couples’ massage at the award-winning Acqualina Spa. Later, dine al fresco at Costa Grill with your toes in the sand.
Day 3: Venture out for a private Everglades airboat excursion or set sail on a luxury yacht charter. Return to the resort for a Japanese fusion dinner at Ke-uH, where the atmosphere is as unforgettable as the cuisine.
Day 4: Enjoy a leisurely in-room breakfast, then indulge in retail therapy at Aventura Mall or The Bal Harbour Shops—exploring designer boutiques, contemporary art galleries, and elevated lunch spots. Back at the resort, unwind with poolside cocktails and sunset views.
Day 5: Close your stay with something new: a beachfront dinner, a family beach picnic curated by the resort’s team, or simply more time soaking up the sun and serenity.
With Mediterranean villa-style architecture, intuitive service, and thoughtful touches like turndown poetry and curated itineraries, Acqualina delivers a level of hospitality that feels both elevated and personal. It’s a place where memories are made—from quiet moments on the terrace to once-in-a-lifetime excursions just beyond the sand.
This summer, skip the transatlantic flight and find your paradise closer to home. At Acqualina, every day feels like the best of the Mediterranean—only with a South Florida sunset.
