Acqualina Spa by ESPA is the full-service hotel spa of the Acqualina Resort & Residences at 17875 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, the high-rise strip of northeast Miami-Dade County in Florida. The spa operates under the ESPA brand, a British luxury spa company known for its holistic, results-driven approach, and it occupies a dedicated wing of the oceanfront property rather than a single treatment corridor. The setting is that of a Mediterranean-inspired luxury resort: marble finishes, soft lighting and a quiet atmosphere set apart from the busier beach and pool areas outside.
The treatment menu centres on massage, facials, body scrubs and hydrotherapy, with signature services built around ESPA's essential-oil blends. Massage appointments typically run 60 to 120 minutes, and prices start at roughly $230 for a standard massage, in line with other luxury hotel spas along the Collins Avenue corridor. Facials and body treatments are generally offered as stand-alone services or as combined packages, and couples treatments are commonly available for two guests in a shared room.
Therapists at ESPA-branded spas follow brand-specific training in the company's techniques and product lines, and the Acqualina spa has built a reputation as one of the more consistent luxury spas in the Sunny Isles Beach area. Facilities include steam and sauna rooms, relaxation lounges and hydrotherapy areas, and the spa sits alongside the resort's fitness facilities and pools, so a treatment is easily combined with a wider day at the property.
Booking norms follow the hotel-spa model. Reservations are strongly advised, particularly on weekends and during the winter high season from December to April, and the treatment menu is usually reviewed at the time of booking. Day access to spa facilities is geared mainly to hotel guests, while non-guests generally gain entry by booking a treatment. Opening hours are listed as daily from about 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, though visitors should confirm current hours and availability with the resort, which can be reached at 305-918-8000 or through its website.
