Acqualina Makes a Splash This Summer with Its Award-Winning AcquaMarine Kids Club

The Forbes Five-Star resort’s marine biology-inspired children’s program fills summer days with hands-on ocean adventures while parents unwind oceanfront

MIAMI, July 6, 2026 – This summer, Acqualina Resort & Residences is inviting families to trade screen time for sea time at AcquaMarine, the resort’s complimentary, marine biology-inspired children’s program. AcquaMarine gives young guests ages 4 to 12 a full calendar of ocean-themed activities, allowing parents to enjoy the five-star comfort of one of Florida’s most celebrated resorts knowing their kids are having the time of their lives just steps away.

Every day at AcquaMarine brings a new theme and a fresh mix of creative programming, blending marine science with camp fun. A “Tropical Treasure Thursday” gives a glimpse of what families can expect all summer long: mornings kicked off with icebreakers and a coral reef chat and activity before campers headed outside for soccer and a seashell search, then came inside to decorate their own foam ocean visors. The day rounded out with musical chairs, wooden treasure chest painting, and a round of Pop Pop Bunny Hop, sending kids home with a craft, a new favorite game, and a few new facts about life under the sea.

That mix of hands-on crafts, outdoor play, and ocean education is at the heart of AcquaMarine’s appeal. Throughout the summer, campers can look forward to coral reef lessons, seashell-themed arts and crafts, treasure hunts, and active group games, all designed to spark curiosity about the ocean while keeping kids moving, creating, and making new friends. The program is complimentary for resort guests and reservations are recommended in advance.

“AcquaMarine is one of the things families tell us they remember most about their stay,” says Deborah Yager Fleming, CEO & Partner of Acqualina Resort. “It gives kids a summer camp experience they genuinely look forward to every day, and it gives parents the freedom to enjoy everything else Acqualina has to offer, from our beach and pools to massages at Acqualina Spa, knowing their children are engaged, safe, and having fun.”

While the kids are busy with treasure hunts and coral reef crafts, parents can spread out across Acqualina’s 4.5 beachfront acres, from three oceanfront pools and a white-sand beach to the 20,000-square-foot Acqualina Spa and acclaimed restaurants including Il Mulino New York, Ke-uH, Costa

Grill, and Avra Miami. For a full look at AcquaMarine’s daily programming, families can visit acqualinaresort.com/childrens-activities.
