The resort’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture, meticulously cared for grounds and mesmerizing ocean views create a sense of timelessness. Every corner of Acqualina exudes a soft sophistication, from the lavishly appointed rooms to world-class restaurants and award-winning spa.

With 54 guest rooms and 44 suites, each elegantly furnished space by Miami-based designer Isabel Tragash features a calming palette of sun bleached wood and airy textures of taupe, sand, and metal. Each room is outfitted with plush bedding, designer Italian furnishings and state-of-the-art technology seamlessly blending into the room.

The expansive marble bathroom with stand-alone rain shower and double vanity is the perfect place to spend an evening relaxing in the jacuzzi whirlpool bathtub with ESPA bath products and fluffy robes. In the suites, a full-sized kitchen comes complete with everything you need to make a coursed dinner, and the mini bar and refrigerator are fully stocked with all the necessities (and then some).
