Acqualina Spa by ESPA
Located along the tranquil white sands of Miami Beach, the 20,000 square foot Acqualina Spa by ESPA offers state-of-the-art treatment rooms, healing heat and water rituals, relaxation lounges, private and special occasion suites, as well as a magnificent outdoor terrace retreat. Their spa menu features a signature selection of Ayurvedic-infused holistic, restorative, and meditative treatments for the face and body. Spa Director Catherine Davalle shares her favorite things at Acqualina Spa by ESPA, as well as insider secrets and must-try treatments.
Why You’ll Love It: Our spa guests enjoy the fact that they can spend an entire day in our facility on top of receiving their luxurious spa treatment. They may have a spa treatment, enjoy the heat experience (experience shower, crystal steam room with color therapy, sauna) as well as the deeply relaxing male and female lounges with purifying Himalayan Salt Stone Walls. And finally, our co-ed outdoor oceanfront deck with a pool featuring relaxing jets and a Jacuzzi with a Roman waterfall.
The experience is complete with the availability of a delicious Bento box lunch served poolside. The Acqualina Spa is a wonderful way to experience a day of pure bliss and recharge yourself on your own or with a group of friends.
Key Features: Separate men's and women's relaxation lounges featuring Himalayan salt walls and an amenity bar with prepared teas and organic treats. Separate men's and women's lockers with heat experience areas that include experience showers, Finnish dry heat saunas, crystal steam room with color therapy and arctic ice fountains. Guests also love the oceanfront co-ed pool terrace, heated jet pool and Roman Waterfall spa.
Bonus: Our spa guests have access to an outdoor pool terrace with Roman Waterfall spa. They are also able to enjoy lunch on the Spa Pool terrace and order from an extensive beverage menu including Cristal Champagne. All our guests benefit from complimentary valet parking.
Insider Tip: Our manicures and pedicures are done in a treatment room while you are resting on a massage bed with views of the ocean. This is quite a luxurious and unique experience, much different from other spas.
Snacks Served: The spa experience starts with a welcoming ritual that consists of a cup of signature Tea Forte tea, as well as a cool compress infused with eucalyptus to energize the mind. Our lounges feature cucumber-infused water, Tea Forte hot tea, and flavor of the month cookies to enjoy while relaxing. For lunch options, the spa offers Bento boxes with a choice of entree, such as grilled chicken, seared tuna, grilled shrimp or Wok charred salmon. Every box comes with a lemony kale salad, classic hummus and a tropical fruit salad. The spa also offers a full beverage menu with a wide assortment of wines and champagnes by the glass or bottle.
Splurge: I would recommend the Ultimate Royal Spa Suite treatment for a luxurious "splurge" treatment. This superb experience for two in the Royal Spa Suite includes a two-hour spa treatment, beginning with a welcoming foot ritual, followed by a custom body massage and a 24K gold rejuvenation facial, and finishes with a gold body shimmer. The splendor continues with one hour of relaxation time to enjoy the Royal Suite, a bottle of Cristal Champagne by Louis Roederer, and a savory spa lunch. You will finish this decadent experience with sweet gold dusted strawberries and a home care ESPA gift.
Most Unique Treatment: The After-Hours Private Royal Spa Suite Experience from 8:30pm to midnight. When our spa closes to the world, your private escape begins with two hours of custom-designed treatments for two in the Royal Spa Suite. Enjoy sole use of our signature heat experience areas, spa pool, Roman Waterfall Spa and pool deck while nibbling on petit fours, chocolate-covered strawberries and sipping champagne.
The Spa is all yours, enchantingly lit and romantic. You will leave with an ESPA skin care gift box to remember this magical experience. This treatment is a unique way to experience our spa with total privacy and romance. It's a great way to celebrate an anniversary, a special birthday, or even propose to your loved one.
Insider Favorite: My favorite treatment is the 3-Hours ESPA time. In this treatment, your therapist welcomes you with a relaxing foot ritual to do a thorough consultation of your state of well-being, and your likes and dislikes in terms of spa treatments. Then, your therapist guides you through a uniquely tailored spa experience to achieve the best results. This treatment is only performed by highly-skilled therapists who can perform both face and body treatments. The luxury of staying with the same therapist in the same treatment room for 3 hours of pure bliss is very unique and very therapeutic.
