SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. -- By day, owners at Acqualina Ocean Residences & Resort in Sunny Isles Beach can expect a world of sea and sun, including attentive pampering at a 11,000-square-foot European-style oceanfront spa, or relaxing at a private beach club. After dark, the new 51-story residential resort – now under construction at 178th Street and Collins Avenue – will change its character as often as future residents’ change their preferences. Whether one seeks high tea in the afternoon, fine dining at a Rosewood Hotels & Resort signature restaurant, a nightcap in the lounge or room service in the privacy of their ultra-luxury condominium residence or penthouse overlooking the Atlantic, Intracoastal and city, Acqualina will be capable of fulfilling those desires.
According to Michael Goldstein, Acqualina’s vice president of sales, creating a 5-Star-quality resort atmosphere has significantly contributed to the success of the rising tower, where over 95% of the residences have already been sold since November 2000. Completion of the palatial Italian-inspired landmark is slated for Spring of 2004.
“To achieve their objective, the developers looked to Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, a leading ultra-luxury hotel management company with one-of-a-kind, award-winning resort properties worldwide,” Goldstein noted. “Acqualina will join the select properties within the esteemed Rosewood collection such as The Carlyle in New York, The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico, Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands and nine others.”
Goldstein also pointed out that Rosewood properties have been highly rated over the years by AAA, Mobil, as well as by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel & Leisure, Wine Spectactor, Zagat Survey, The Robb Report and other recognizable media.
“At Acqualina, residents will have access to the same outstanding amenities and services that guests of the small, luxury, boutique Rosewood hotel will. They will be greeted by 24-hour valet parking attendants and a doorman at the elegant entranceway characterized by stately iron gates and a bell tower, beautiful water features and a grand porte-cochere with a domed cupola. There will be concierge assistance, 24-hour security, 24-hour room service, and housekeeping services; plus, a gourmet restaurant and lounge, seaside loggias for outdoor dining, a gourmet convenience store, and the two-story pampering spa,” he explained, adding that Spa Acqualina will provide state-of-the-art cardio and strength conditioning equipment, men’s and women’s salons, and a host of programs to improve one’s health and well being, all focused around a water theme. Residents are certain to appreciate the property’s three swimming pools (hotel/beach club, condominium, spa) and a beautiful vanishing-edge water feature, tropical garden areas, and private beach club overlooking a very wide expanse of sand.”
In addition, Owners may access Williams Island golf, tennis and deepwater marina accommodating yachts up to 165 feet. That is because Acqualina is presented by The Trump Group, developers of Williams Island in nearby Aventura, where they built and sold more than 1,700 luxury condominium residences to discerning buyers from all over the world.
Goldstein concluded by saying that great locations within Acqualina are still available as a sell-out approaches. The three- to seven-bedroom condominiums residences, including penthouses with a separate guest house and private pool or spa, span 2,185 to 13,000 square feet, with prices from $1.2 million to over $10 million. Also offered are fully furnished, three-bedroom “turnkey” oceanfront residences and furnished three-bedroom condo/hotel residences priced from $1 million; and furnished hotel suites and one-bedroom suites from $450,000 to over $600,000.
