ESPA opens in Sunny Isles Beach

Sunny Isles Beach, FL -- The Acqualina Resort in Sunny Isles Beach celebrated the grand opening of its luxurious spa, ESPA, with Emilio Pucci producing a stage fashion show and raising more than $30,000 for Safe Horizon, a victim assistance organization.

Why it is that everyone is so eager to tell you how beautiful Sunny Isles Beach is?

There is, of course, an explanation:

Sunny Isles Beach is beautiful because of the ingenious alliance between the place that Nature made, and the place that men and women have made within it.

It's more of a feeling than a catalog of sights, sounds, and smells. Some corner of our minds recognizes that a people have evolved a way of life, adapted to difficult circumstances, that has resulted in things like charm, pride, peace, and, more recently, plenty.

With the grand opening of Acqualina's 20,000-square-foot two-story spa ESPA that brought a star-studded cast to Sunny Isles Beach, this small little barrier reef island officially has marked its spot on the map as the place to be, the place to relax, to see and to-be-seen, to live, work and play in Miami.

Acqualina a Mediterranean-style luxury oceanfront resort and residences towering over 50 floors high on the white sandy beaches in Sunny Isles Beach is one of the most prestigious residences in the Miami area.

Susan Harmsworth, founder and CEO of ESPA, a London-based company, said the tranquil ambience of the spa complements the luxurious oceanfront setting.

''It was a logical choice for us to partner with the Trump Group and Rosewood Hotel,'' Harmsworth said. ``We wanted an international spark.''

ESPA offers 11 treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi and a pool.

As part of the grand opening, Acqualina hosted an Emilio Pucci fashion show.

Pucci fans could view pieces from the spring/summer 2007 collection. Ten percent of the proceeds at the Pucci store at Bal Harbour Shops and the $30,000 raised from the silent auction were donated to Safe Horizon.

Celebrities mingling with the more than 400 guests at the ocean-side party included Washington, D.C., socialite Mary Ammons; Diane Neal, an actress from the long-running TV show, Law and Order; celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito; author Jill Kargman (Wolves in Chic Clothing and The Right Address); cosmetologist Olivia Chantecaille; Valerie Boster of Vogue; and New York socialites Gillian Miniter, Adelina Ettelson, Lydia Fenet, Karen Towey, Alexandra Lebenthal and Aida Khoursheed.

These A-list celebrities were flown in to experience treatments at the new spa on Jan. 14 and 15. ''Everybody received two hours of ESPA `Time,''' said Vivianne Garcia-Tunon, ESPA spa director.
