Acqualina Resort & Residences: a 52-story oceanfront tower at 17875 Collins Avenue.
Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach is an oceanfront condominium at 17875 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach. Completed in 2006, the 52-story tower holds approximately 295 residences, generally ranging from one to five or more bedrooms depending on unit and penthouse configuration. This is a resale building, not a new development — buyers are purchasing a completed residence with nearly two decades of operating history as part of a resort community, not a future delivery date.
Acqualina is commonly credited to The Trump Group as developer, with architecture by Robert Swedroe. It anchors a larger oceanfront campus that has grown over time to include Mansions at Acqualina and, more recently, The Estates at Acqualina — a separate, newer property discussed further below. This page focuses specifically on Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach at 17875 Collins Avenue, explains what makes a resort-integrated residence distinct, how a potential Buyer Rebate may work, and points you to live Acqualina listings on EAJordan.com.
What sets a resort-integrated oceanfront residence apart.
Acqualina's appeal comes from resort-level service, a direct oceanfront position, and nearly two decades of operating history — not a promise of appreciation or rental income.

Value at Acqualina varies residence by residence.
Two Acqualina residences can carry very different value on the same line. Floor, line, and exposure matter — a high-floor direct-ocean view differs from a lower or angled residence facing the Intracoastal or city side. Terrace configuration, bedroom count, and interior square footage vary by floor plan, and penthouse or combined-unit residences carry their own considerations beyond a standard floor plan. Condition varies too, from original finishes to fully renovated interiors, and furnished versus unfurnished offerings differ by seller — treat all of these as unit-specific details to confirm line by line.
Interior specifications, furniture packages, and finish levels can vary by residence and by original delivery phase. Treat any listing description of specific finishes as unit-specific until verified, since many resale residences at a building with this much history have since been renovated, furnished, or altered from their original condition.

Why two Acqualina residences can carry very different price tags.
Asking prices at Acqualina vary substantially, even within the same floor plan. Line, floor, and exposure separate a lower-floor Intracoastal or city view from a high-floor direct-ocean residence on the same stack. Renovation quality, furnishings, and overall condition can add or subtract significant value between two otherwise similar units, and seller motivation or time on market shapes what a seller will ultimately accept.
We don't publish a static "current price range" on this page, because active inventory changes continuously and a fixed figure becomes outdated quickly. For current asking prices, available residences, and recent closed sales at Acqualina, use the live IDX listings linked further below. We help you interpret that pricing data against the specific residence you're considering, including what a given asking price does and doesn't reflect.
How the numbers can work.
These examples use a 2.5% buyer-agent compensation purely as an illustration, with a rebate of up to half. They are not a quote and not a guarantee — your actual rebate depends on compensation actually available for the specific Acqualina residence, your representation agreement, lender approval, and closing terms.
Rebate up to: $43,750

With a resort-integrated address like Acqualina, the order you do things in can decide whether you keep the rebate.
The moment you request a showing, register on a listing portal, click a portal "contact agent" button, submit an inquiry, or call a listing agent or sales/resort office directly, your inquiry may be routed to another agent, which can affect representation and rebate eligibility.
Full representation. Potential savings. The difference is having your representation established before you inquire.
Contacting a listing agent, portal, or sales office first may affect your rebate eligibility — the result depends on what you submitted or agreed to. Buyers who come to us first keep full representation and the possibility of a credit at closing when compensation is available.
One rule protects your rebate: contact us first.
Before you request a tour, register on a portal, contact a listing agent, submit an inquiry, or walk into the sales or resort office, contact us. We put your representation in place properly so your rebate eligibility is protected from the start.
Already inquired or registered somewhere? Don't assume it's lost. Depending on what you submitted, there may still be a path — but each additional contact can make it harder, so call before you do anything else.

An oceanfront resort address in Sunny Isles Beach.
Acqualina sits on Collins Avenue within Sunny Isles Beach, directly on the Atlantic.
The beach is steps away, with Bal Harbour a short drive south and Aventura just inland. Miami Beach, the Design District, and Miami International Airport are reachable across the causeway, with drive times that vary with traffic. Also compare established oceanfront resale addresses nearby, such as Porsche Design Tower and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach.
Verify current amenity operations and inclusions before you commit.
Acqualina's resort branding and its current amenity operations for residence owners are two different things, and only one of them is guaranteed to still be accurate at any given moment.
A property of Acqualina's scale and resort positioning typically operates beachfront access, pools, a spa, dining venues, a fitness center, conference and media rooms, and a well-appointed lobby with concierge and valet coverage — but hours, staffing, guest policies, and exactly which services are bundled into residence ownership versus offered a la carte can change over time. We don't publish a fixed, itemized amenity list here because inclusions can vary by ownership tier and by year; we confirm what's actually included in ownership, and what carries an additional fee, at the time of your search. Buyers should not assume every hotel-side service is automatically included in every residence's ownership arrangement.
What buyers should investigate at Acqualina.
Buying into a roughly 295-residence, 52-story resort-integrated association is different from a standalone condominium — there's more to review. Request the declaration, bylaws, budget and financial statements, reserve funding, and any structural-reserve, milestone-inspection, or engineering report, along with current insurance coverage and deductibles.
The due-diligence period exists to protect you — use all of it.
Ask about capital projects, pending or completed special assessments, and litigation history. Rental policy and tenant-approval matter most to investors; pet policy, valet or parking arrangements, storage, and renovation rules matter to anyone living in or updating a residence. Because Acqualina operates alongside a resort component, also ask how hotel or resort-related policies affect owners — for example, any shared services, staffing charges, or operating agreements that sit outside the standard condominium budget. Confirm financing eligibility, lender condo review, flood and windstorm exposure, foreign-buyer considerations if applicable, seller disclosures, and open permits. Conditions can change and must be verified. We don't provide legal, tax, or engineering advice, but we help you ask the right questions.
A working due-diligence checklist
- Declaration, bylaws & rules — the association's governing documents.
- Budget & financial statements — current and recent-year statements.
- Reserve, structural & milestone reports — funding and inspection status.
- Insurance & deductibles — current coverage and exposure.
- Capital projects & assessments — completed or pending.
- Rental policy & tenant approval — lease terms and frequency limits.
- Pet, valet, parking & storage — assignments, deposits, and rules.
- Hotel/resort-related policies — what's bundled into ownership vs. billed separately.
- Financing, flood/wind & permits — lender and seller disclosures.
What financed and cash buyers should each plan for.
Whether you're financing or paying cash, a resort-integrated building like Acqualina brings a few extra items worth planning for early — before you're inside a tight contract timeline.
Lenders that finance condominiums generally review the association's budget, reserve funding, insurance program, and any resort or hotel-related operating structure as part of loan approval, in addition to standard borrower underwriting. Confirm condo-specific lending eligibility with a qualified lender early, since some buildings or ownership structures can affect financing options. Insurance is its own line item to plan for — windstorm and flood coverage in a coastal, high-rise building can be a meaningful ongoing cost, separate from the association's master policy. Appraisal risk is worth discussing directly with your lender given how much price can vary by line, floor, and condition within the same tower.
Cash buyers should still expect a real due-diligence and closing timeline — skipping a lender doesn't mean skipping condominium document review, insurance evaluation, or title work. Have proof of funds ready early, since sellers and their agents typically expect it before scheduling a private showing or accepting an offer at this price point. We don't provide lending, tax, or legal advice; our attorney-backed representation is focused on helping you ask the right questions of the right professionals at the right time.
Acqualina vs newer construction — and vs The Estates at Acqualina
This isn't about better or worse — it's about which trade-offs fit. An established resort residence like Acqualina and a newer Sunny Isles tower each offer a different buying experience.
It's worth stating plainly: The Estates at Acqualina is a separate property from Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach. The Estates towers sit on the same larger oceanfront campus but occupy their own addresses, were delivered in 2022 and 2023 (well after Acqualina's 2006 completion), and have their own association, pricing, and amenity program. Do not assume facts, inventory, or pricing from one property apply to the other — we help you evaluate each on its own terms.
Also compare established Sunny Isles Beach resale buildings such as Porsche Design Tower and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach if you are evaluating oceanfront condos with buyer rebate potential.

Acqualina buyer rebate questions
Is Acqualina a condominium or a hotel residence?
Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach is a condominium. Residences are privately owned, but the building operates alongside a resort/hotel component, so ownership includes a resort-style service layer that a typical condominium does not. Confirm the current relationship between the residential and hotel operations before you purchase.
Where is Acqualina located?
Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach is an oceanfront condominium at 17875 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, between Bal Harbour to the south and the rest of Sunny Isles Beach's high-rise corridor to the north.
When was Acqualina completed?
Acqualina was completed in 2006. It is an established, completed condominium with nearly two decades of operating history — not a new-construction or pre-construction property.
What types of residences are available at Acqualina?
Acqualina residences generally range from one to five or more bedrooms depending on unit and penthouse configuration. Available floor plans, sizes, and views change with the market, so current inventory should always be confirmed through live listings.
What should buyers compare when evaluating two Acqualina units?
Line, floor, and exposure matter most, since a high-floor direct-ocean residence differs meaningfully from a lower or angled unit facing the Intracoastal or city. Condition, renovation quality, furnishings, terrace configuration, and whether the unit is a combined or penthouse layout should also be compared residence by residence.
Can owners rent their Acqualina residence?
Rental policies can change and are set by the association, and Acqualina's resort component can add additional considerations beyond a typical condominium's rules. Buyers who plan to lease an Acqualina residence should confirm the current rental policy and approval process before purchasing.
What costs should buyers evaluate beyond the purchase price?
Buyers should review condominium association fees, insurance, property taxes, reserve funding, pending or completed assessments, and any resort or hotel-related charges, in addition to standard closing costs. These figures vary by residence and should be confirmed through current official documents.
Can a buyer finance an Acqualina residence?
Financing is possible, but condominium lenders review the association's budget, reserves, insurance, and any resort or hotel-related operating structure as part of loan approval. Buyers should discuss condo-specific underwriting with a qualified lender early in the process.
How does Acqualina differ from The Estates at Acqualina?
Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach, at 17875 Collins Avenue, is the original tower, completed in 2006. The Estates at Acqualina is a separate, newer pair of towers delivered in 2022 and 2023 on the same oceanfront campus, with its own address, association, pricing, and amenities. The two should not be treated as the same building.
Can an eligible buyer receive a commission rebate when purchasing at Acqualina?
Yes, buyer rebates are permitted under Florida law. When compensation is available and a rebate is permitted under your agreement, lender, and closing terms, a qualified buyer may receive a portion as a credit at closing. It's never guaranteed.
