Acqualina Resort Trades Screen Time for Marine Science

The daily schedule balances science with camp-style recreation. A typical session might move from a coral reef lecture to outdoor soccer, followed by craft projects like painting treasure chests or decorating foam visors. According to CEO and Partner Deborah Yager Fleming, the program serves as a primary draw for repeat visitors, allowing parents to retreat to the 20,000-square-foot spa or oceanfront pools with the assurance that their children are supervised and active.

Beyond the daily activities, the resort is currently incentivizing family stays through September and December with offers ranging from the Summer Sanctuary package—which includes a 15% discount and $150 credit—to various "fourth and fifth night free" promotions. These packages apply to the resort’s 4.5-acre property, which houses signature dining venues such as Il Mulino New York and Avra Miami. Reservations for the AcquaMarine program are recommended to ensure space for young guests throughout the season.
