The Best Hotels in Sunny Isles Beach, by the Record
The best hotels in Sunny Isles Beach, by the professional record: Forbes Travel Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Acqualina Resort & Residences On The Beach comes out on top.
-
Mediterranean villa architecture on the sand in Sunny Isles, roughly halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, which puts it closer to the water and further from the chaos than most South Beach options. This Forbes Five Star resort leans into the European feel with terraces, ocean views, and rooms large enough to include a full sitting room and an oversized soaking tub. Red lounge chairs dot the beach, and a separate family pool means the adults-only stretch stays that way.
-
A 32-story tower on the white-sand stretch of Sunny Isles, this full-service beach resort sits just north of Bal Harbour and leans into the full Florida fantasy. Rooms come with wet bars and mini-fridges, the Aquanox Spa runs 8,000 square feet, and the water toys on offer run from kayaks to jet skis. The crowd arrives with sunscreen and ambition, in roughly equal measure.
