Nestled steps from the sand with an unobstructed and mesmerizing ocean view is combined with a masterful, fresh Mediterranean\/Floridian menu.<\/p>\n<p>For off-site journeys, girlfriends can get athletic and kayak at the nearby Oleta River State Park, take a walking tour of art, galleries and more in the Design District, visit the tony Bal Harbour Shops or Aventura Mall, then return and be coiffed (or book girlfriend mani\/pedis) at the VOI hair salon before embarking on a night on the town \u2013 or an evening in. It\u2019s all about being together, and at Acqualina it\u2019s always in grand style. To make a bestie break evening easier to arrange, Acqualina has created the Girlfriend\u2019s Getaway package, a three-night minimum escape, complete with two 50-minute body or facial treatments at Acqualina Spa, a poolside Spa Lunch for two, complimentary internet access and a welcome fruit amenity that\u2019s perfect for in-room snacking. The spa is popular, so be sure to book the package at least one-day in advance to guarantee spa treatment availability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michelle Payer With so much time spent engulfed in work, family, philanthropic endeavors and volunteer commitments, it\u2019s sometimes tough to find time to celebrate your best gal pals.
