Acqualina Resort & Residences has been recognized with two #1 awards in the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards announced today by USA Today. The ultra-luxury resort located in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach was named #1 Best Destination Resort in the United States and #1 Best Waterfront Hotel/Resort in the United States.
“Our team takes great pride in providing exceptional attention and care to every guest, always going above and beyond to ensure each person feels truly looked after,” said Deborah Yager Fleming, CEO and Partner. “We want our guests to feel at home, knowing that in addition to offering beautiful surroundings, every detail is handled with purpose, thoughtfulness, and the highest level of care. Under the leadership of General Manager Jeff Giasson, our team is deeply passionate about what we do, and we remain committed to continuously striving to make Acqualina one of the finest hotel experiences in the world.”
A panel of experts partnered with USA Today’s 10Best editors to select the initial 20 nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.
In addition to the two #1 USA Today awards, Acqualina is also a proud recipient of the Forbes Five Star Award for both the hotel and spa for the 13th consecutive year and the AAA Five Diamond for the 17th consecutive year. Along with these prestigious accolades, US News and World Report named Acqualina the #1 Best Resort and #1 Best Hotel in the Continental US in their annual Best Hotel Awards.
To celebrate these achievements and invite travelers to experience its world-class hospitality, Acqualina has introduced an exclusive Staycation Offer for Florida, Texas, and Georgia residents, valid through September 30, 2025. The package includes $100 resort credit per stay, daily breakfast for two (or more for multi-bedroom suites), valet parking, late check-out, and a welcome amenity upon arrival. Families will enjoy complimentary access to the resort’s acclaimed AcquaMarine Children’s Program, while all guests can indulge in oceanfront dining, pristine pools, and curated wellness experiences — all just a short drive from home.
With four world-class restaurants, curated amenities and luxurious rooms and suites, Acqualina Resort provides an exclusive experience and ultra-luxurious beach lifestyle like no other. Earlier this year, Acqualina unveiled newly enhanced event spaces including a new ballroom and reimagined board offering a blend of classic charm and contemporary sophistication. These redesigned spaces not only reflect Acqualina’s commitment to luxury and innovation but also enhance the guest experience, making the resort a prime destination for both relaxation and celebration.
