A Luxurious Stay at Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach
May 21, 2016
Christine Gray
Arriving in Style
Arriving at Acqualina, we are transported to an elegant world through stately iron gates as the drive ascends to a grand porte-cochere with graceful charm surrounded by architecture reminiscent of a Mediterranean villa and a most impressive array of luxury cars from Rolls-Royce to Maserati and Ferrari.
Stepping into the grand lobby with coffered barrel vault ceiling feels like we've arrived at a palace somewhere in Italy. We check in and pass through the hotel's public spaces with a serene atmosphere and walk out to the perfectly manicured grounds with sparkling pools and lounge areas right by the sandy beach where the glistening turquoise blue of the Atlantic Ocean greets our arrival.
Sleeping Like Royalty
We reach our suite by private key access to our floor. Palatial
accommodations
are fit for royalty, dressed in cool, calming tones cued by the resort's oceanfront location. The 98 impeccably appointed rooms and suites offer the exclusivity of just four guest accommodations per floor. There are two one-bedroom suites on the ocean side that can be connected to two spacious hotel rooms on the Intracoastal side to become two-bedroom suites that span all the views of Miami from ocean to city.
The hotel has an amazing pedigree being a member of The Leading Hotels of the World as well as achieving Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond status. In addition, Trip Advisor rated it as the #1 beachfront hotel in the continental United States and Andrew Harper readers' choice awards named Acqualina the #1 beach resort, #1 spa resort, and the #1 family resort in the world!
A Tranquil Spa Sanctuary
Acqualina Spa by ESPA
overlooks the glistening Atlantic Ocean and provides a tranquil sanctuary spanning two floors and 20,000 square feet including a private spa suite for couples and an outdoor pool and waterfall spa. The ultimate treatment choice,
ESPA Time
, commences with a Welcome Foot Ritual where clients' needs are established, resulting in tailored treatments and a completely customized experience. All treatments are enhanced by a full line of ESPA marine, aromatherapy and plant active products blended using the highest quality organically grown plants, known for their purity, potency and exceptional results in skincare. The his and her relaxation lounges feature new glowing Himalayan salt walls that purify the air and allow you to breathe deeply and begin your relaxation journey.
A Culinary Affair to Remember
We truly enjoyed the superb
dining options at Acqualina
, from the sunny breakfast veranda in the morning to the beachfront Costa Grill on the lawn for a relaxing lunch, to AQ by Acqualina in the lobby and the famed New York Italian restaurant, Il Mulino, with its impeccably polished wait staff. Il Mulino New York has been honored as the #1 Italian restaurant on the New York City Zagat Survey for an astonishing 20 years.
The Personal Touch
The service at Acqualina is as good as it gets. Everyone who stays here talks about it. Owner Jules Trump (no relation to Donald) has an amazing warm, kindhearted personality and it reflects in every member of the hotel's staff. General Manager
Christof Pignet
is also wonderful and always making sure guests are happy. His presence is felt throughout the resort as he interacts with all guests and staff daily to ascertain their well-being and utmost comfort at all times. Every encounter with a member of the Acqualina team is a special encounter.
The
atmosphere
here is so welcoming that it is truly hard to leave. The upside is if you really love it, you can move in to one of
Acqualina's residences
and be a permanent hotel guest!
