PSA: Miami is home to the best hotel in the country. This is no joke. Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles was voted No. 1 by USA Today readers—again!—and we couldn’t be prouder. That’s not all: The hotel includes a 20,000-square-foot spa with ocean views, state-of-the-art treatment rooms and a healing heat and water ritual area. Did we mention the four pools and the red umbrella–lined private beach spanning over four acres of coastline? It’s no wonder this place is racking up the accolades. We’re suddenly inspired to book a spa-cation.
