Day One:<\/h2>\n

\"Acqualina

After checking into your upscale accommodations at Acqualina Resort & Spa, there\u2019s not a moment to waste enjoying the property\u2019s relaxing amenities. Head to the three oceanfront pools to soak in spectacular views of Sunny Isles Beach amid opulent, Mediterranean-inspired surroundings. Settle into lounge chairs cushioned in Acqualina\u2019s signature red hue, or take a dip in the crystal blue waters. (For an even more exclusive poolside experience, reserve a cabana ahead of time to enjoy additional personalized service and a secluded respite from the warm sun.)<\/p>\n

Sit down at one of Costa Grill<\/a>\u2019s beachside tables for a casual lunch with the ladies, perfectly complemented by the sounds of the waves, then make your way to the award-winning Acqualina Spa by ESPA<\/a> for an afternoon of pampering. Featuring 20,000 square feet of ultimate tranquility, unwind with a state-of-the art treatment or two, such as an Infinite Beauty Hydrafacial or a Himalayan Salt Stones Massage, then make time to enjoy the spa\u2019s uniquely rejuvenating amenities. Featuring a Finnish sauna, a crystal steam room, ice fountains, an experience shower, an outdoor oceanfront spa pool, and a sun deck overlooking the Atlantic, Acqualina Spa by ESPA offers all the makings of a blissful spa day with the girls.<\/p>\n

\"Acqualina

Before leaving the spa, stop into the new Acqualina Boutique<\/a> to browse the perfect pieces for your Miami girls\u2019 getaway. Allow our fashion consultant Jacqueline Shiff\u00a0to personalize your look with styles from brands including Alexandra Miro, Vilebrequin, Gemma Hesterbly, Miguelina, SUNUVA, and more.<\/p>\n

That evening, meet the girls at AQ Bar for a pre-dinner cocktail, then savor chef Michele Mazza\u2019s refined Northern Italian cuisine at Il Mulino New York<\/a>. Through the end of September, opt for a decadent prix fixe menu as part of Miami Spice, one of the city\u2019s premier dining events celebrating the region\u2019s finest flavors.<\/p>\n

Day Two:<\/h2>\n

Classic extravagance is around every corner, including Balmain, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Chanel, C\u00e9line, Gucci, Harry Winston, Tom Ford, and more. For a locally owned stop, swing by Books & Books<\/a> on the third floor, purveying a selection of quintessential beach reads and chic coffee table books you\u2019ll want to display at home as a reminder of your getaway.<\/p>\n

Spend the morning shopping and wandering among the shops\u2019 vibrant greenery, koi ponds, and fountains, then head to a lunch reservation at one of the center\u2019s dining hotspots. Stephen Starr\u2019s Le Zoo<\/a> transports you to Provence with its French bistro-inspired setting and cuisine, while chef Makoto Okuwa\u2019s eponymously named Makoto<\/a> is known for its modern Japanese fare and divine sushi menu.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also find a prix fixe Miami Spice menu here through the end of September.<\/p>\n

Day Three:<\/h2>\n

Begin your last morning at the resort with a breath-focused beachfront yoga session, courtesy of YOGiiZA, with a focus on either Power Flow, Slow Flow, or Restore. As you move through a series of sun salutations, you\u2019ll find your sense of zen amplified by the soothing waves in front of you (and your girlfriends beside you).<\/p>\n
