Welcome

At Acqualina Resort & Residences, we have much to celebrate. In the prestigious 2023 Tripadvisor Awards, Acqualina was named the #1 Beachfront Hotel in the U.S.A. Our Mediterraneaninspired slice of paradise was also named the #1 Best Resort in the U.S.A. and the #1 Best Hotel in the U.S.A.in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hotels rankings. Our hotel and spa received the coveted Five-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide for the 11th consecutive year. While we’re humbled and honored to receive these accolades, the recognition also continues to push us to deliver an unrivaled stay for our cherished guests.

In this issue, you’ll read about what it’s like to live like you’re on vacation every day, as guests are moving into the North Boutique Tower at The Estates at Acqualina where incomparable amenities and luxurious furniture choices fill the single-family homes and penthouses.

While beachfront dining is a rarity in South Florida, Acqualina offers the opportunity to indulgently dine beachside under the stars. As the waves lap the shoreline of our private stretch of beach, and a dedicated server caters to every whim, the ambiance is set for romance or a memorable family celebration. There are also decadent new reasons to spend your Sunday at Acqualina, where we have bragging rights to two of Miami’s best brunch spots. Dine al fresco or under the bright bougainvillea at fine Greek dining restaurant Avra—you can also read about its stunning design in this issue— or dive into the exquisite brunch menu at Italian favorite Il Mulino. When you’re ready to burn off those extra calories, join our new fitness and wellness program, AcquaFit. Once again, it ties back to all the glories and benefits of water.

Lastly, meet the Maple family from Philadelphia who hasn’t missed a yearly trip to Acqualina in more than a decade. They look for any opportunity to visit and have become hotel evangelists for the resort where they feel at home and treated like family. It’s how we strive to make every guest feel at Acqualina.
