With life as hectic as it is these days, weeks or even months can pass between get-togethers with your best girls. If you’ve been needing that little push to make that girls’ getaway happen, check out the special offers Acqualina Resort is offering this month to get you motivated.
The Summer Sojourn Suite Offer includes up to 35% off one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, breakfast every day, a $200 resort credit and a $45 spa credit per person toward facial or body treatments for up to two adults. (The three-night minimum is to your advantage—two nights is simply not sufficient for luxuriating with the gals.) The offer is available for stays through September 30, 2024.
Once you’ve settled in, suit up and head down to the adult pool to catch up over pineapple margaritas (whipped up fresh at the pool bar) and nosh on some snacks from the beach-adjacent Costa Grill—pizza, tacos, grilled king prawns, salads, burgers—this list goes on. Rent a Cabana or an Acquabed for the day to experience the ultimate in personal service, or, if you prefer, take up your spot on the silvery white sands beachside. The resort’s iconic red sofas and matching umbrellas dotting the grassy green lawn between the building and the beach are arranged in comfortable vignettes meant for gathering and sipping cocktails in the afternoon, letting the hours slip by until the sun sets.
Spa days are always a requirement during a girls’ weekend, so be sure to book your treatment(s) of choice at Acqualina Spa. If relaxation is your goal, try the Ama Releasing Abhyanga treatment, featuring an ESPA salt and oil scrub and an Ayurvedic Marma point massage where an infusion of warm oils and herbs are applied to the vital energy centers of the body. If renewal is the order of the day, go for the Balancing Massage with Volcanic Stones, followed by an ESPA facial cleanse and a soothing scalp massage with Pink Hair & Scalp mud. Or rejuvenate with a Rejuvenating HydraFacial MD with Collagen Mask, 90 minutes of bliss in the form of a deep-cleaning of the skin, lymphatic drainage and LED light therapy, a collagen mask, hand treatment and scalp massage.
And while girls just want to have fun, they also like to look done. So, after you’ve been exfoliated and moisturized, head to VOI, the resort’s hair salon, where you and your crew can chat over hair services ranging from color and cuts to a wash and blow-dry, or even a makeup session to prep you for photos of your girls’ night. The salon is open Monday through Saturday 11 am to 7 pm and appointments are required.
With four amazing restaurants to choose from, you never have to leave the property to enjoy an entirely new dining experience each day. And remember, it is Miami Spice Month, so you can savor three-course dinners at Avra, Il Mulino New York and Ke-uH for one all-inclusive price. Go Greek at Avra, just a short walk over the exclusive footbridge from the resort; raise a Prosecco and tuck into a plate of pasta at the world-famous Il Mulino New York, satisfy your sushi craving at Ke-uH, specializing in Japanese fusion.
It’s a safe bet that once you’ve spent a long weekend reconnecting with your girls at Acqualina, you won’t wait long to plan the next one.
