Miami’s Acqualina Resort Creates The Ultimate Remote Learn And Work Experience

For many of us, working from home is starting to lose its charm. Wearing pajama bottoms is no longer a bonus and sharing a dining room table with kids trying to learn has made everyone just a little bit claustrophobic. With colder weather approaching, it might be time for a learncation/workcation. It’s so much better than a staycation because you actually get to go somewhere. And since you are leaving home, why not go somewhere spectacularly beautiful?

Of course, the rules are different. You will need space—enough for everyone in your family or group to spread out. Other key requirements: fast WiFi, a scenic place to enjoy a coffee break or a Zoom cocktail call, great activities for kids and adults and access to a gym. And you will want a property that takes safety and cleanliness seriously. With those requirements in mind, the Acqualina Resort has developed a terrific work and learn experience that is perfect for a week, a month or longer.

The property is expansive. Acqualina sits on four and half beach-front acres and has multiple oceanfront swimming pools. You can enjoy carefree lounging since chairs have been carefully spread out to avoid crowding. The property has one, two, and three-bedroom suites, with room enough for everyone. The larger suites are over 2,000 square feet and contain fully equipped kitchens and outdoor spaces. Working and learning does not seem so bad when you can enjoy the resort’s incredible amenities at the end of the day.

In addition to a beach, adult will be thrilled to spend some time at the spa. Why not sign up for the “DE-STRESS journey” which includes a therapeutic deep tissue massage and a deeply relaxing scalp massage.

Enjoying nature is easy. Guests can explore the Oleta River State Park, which is just a five-minute drive away. This tidal mangrove ecosystem is enveloped by Biscayne Bay and is the perfect place for a kayak tour. Young guests, age five to twelve, have complimentary access to marine biology-inspired activities and teens will love the oceanfront soccer field and basketball court.

One of the best parts of working from a home that is not your home is that you don’t have to cook or clean up. (Although, of course, you can if you want to.) Acqualina has some of the best food in town. Il Mulino offers indoor and outdoor dining and dinner features homemade pastas, Dover sole and Italian sea bass. Meat lovers can enjoy 20 oz. rib eye, a decadent veal chop or a perfectly cooked rack of lamb. Costa Grill features beachside dining and fresh salads, wagyu burgers, tacos and grilled fish. No worries if you are on a special diet, the property has developed options to help you get or stay healthy. Menus can be tailored to meet vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto and gluten-free diets.

And since everyone is concerned about safety, guests can feel comfortable with all the added steps that the property is taking. All public surfaces, both indoors and out, are constantly being disinfected. Dining inside is limited to 50% capacity and masks must be worn in all indoor areas.
