MIAMI, Oct. 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Acqualina Resort & Residences has earned the 2026 VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality badge from Forbes Travel Guide for the third consecutive year. This recognition reaffirms the resort's place among the world's finest hotels leading in sustainable luxury.

The VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality badge is awarded by Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on hospitality excellence. This latest honor places Acqualina among a distinguished group of properties worldwide recognized for their leadership in responsible luxury. The comprehensive assessment verifies hotels on best practices to protect the environment and support the well-being of employees, guests, and the community, creating a global standard for the world's finest hotels and a trusted third-party verification for guests.

At Acqualina, the commitment to responsible hospitality is woven seamlessly into the guest experience. The resort has eliminated single-use plastics and reduced paper usage. Locally sourced, seasonal menus are served across the resort's restaurants, and the hotel team members participate in regular beach clean-ups to preserve the natural beauty of the Miami coastline. Acqualina also spearheads annual food drives for the Broward Outreach Center and toy drives benefiting the children at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.

Since 1995, Acqualina has been deeply involved in uplifting the community by founding the Miami Chapter of the I Have a Dream Foundation. This organization is dedicated to empowering children from underprivileged backgrounds by equipping them with the essential skills, knowledge, and mindset required to pursue higher education.

Acqualina Resort & Residences is a luxurious oceanfront property located on 4.5 beachfront acres in pristine Sunny Isles Beach. The resort features 98 impeccably appointed guest rooms and suites and 188 residences with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. World-class dining options include Il Mulino New York, the alfresco Costa Grill, Ke-uH Japanese restaurant, and Avra Miami. Three oceanfront swimming pools, spacious meeting rooms, and the innovative AcquaMarine marine biology-based children's program provide a variety of lavish interior and exterior venues for opulent weddings and memorable events.

Acqualina Spa provides guests with an exquisite 20,000-square-foot, two-story tranquil sanctuary of excellence and relaxation. The resort is a family-owned and operated property, a recipient of the coveted Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Awards for both the hotel and spa and the AAA Five Diamond Award. Acqualina is also a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on genuine Five-Star service, was started as Mobil Travel Guide in 1958. The company created the first Five-Star rating system in the United States. Today, in addition to providing professional services, FTG is the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruise ships. FTG's prestigious annual Star Awards can only be earned through the company's objective, in-person inspection process.

This recognition is a true reflection of Acqualina's team's dedication to caring for their guests, residents, community, and the beautiful coastline they call home.
