Have you been to the Acqualina condo?  This majestic building in Sunny Isles Beach that also functions as a high end resort is one of the major highlights of the culturally diverse city located near the oceanfront.  If you haven't visited or stayed in Acqualina, there's arguably never been a better time to do.

To celebrate its five years of existence, the Acqualina condo is offering the “Fifth Anniversary Package”, which already started this month and continues throughout the year until December 15th.  The package includes a complimentary third night stay when you book a suite for two nights plus an impressive package.  Free internet access, forty dollars worth of the Acqualina Spa credit for up to two people, a champagne bottle, and complimentary breakfast for two are some of the perks available as part of the package.

If you're not familiar with Acqualina, the building features a two story European spa, ultra modern residences with spacious balconies and granite countertops, a gourmet restaurant and many more features waiting to be discovered.

Let's focus on something else besides Miami Beach condos for a little bit and instead remember the Cinematheque.  Remember the Miami Beach Cinematheque?  The headquarters of the Miami Beach International Film Festival and home of the city's Film Society is a mainstay of the city but it's grown a little too large for its small home on classic Espanola Way.  While the building has moved to a new dwelling, the setting may seem quite familiar to locals.

After an extensive renovation the Miami Beach Cinematheque is now located at the parking department space that belonged to Historic City Hall.  While the building maintains many of the former idiosyncrasies that defined it, it has also been given a few modern touches (LED lighting for example) and was built using environmentally friendly practices such as recycled materials from the former parking garage.

To celebrate, the cinematheque is hosting several events throughout the month.  If you've got some free time this weekend and are looking for activities near your Miami Beach condos, visit the all new cinematheque at its historic new home.

Are you a boating enthusiast?  That may be one of the several reasons why you chose or are considering choosing Miami Beach homes as your vacation or permanent home.  There's some great news to share if you are indeed a fan of boating vessels.  Starting Thursday, the latest designs, accessories and technologies will be showcased throughout “The Magic City” and beyond.

The 2011 Miami International Boat Show and Strictly Sail starts Thursday and continues until Monday of next week at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Sea Isle Marina & Yachting Center, and Miamarina at Bayside Marketplace (also the home Strictly Sail Miami).  Consumers looking for new vessels to accentuate the docks of their Miami Beach homes will find lots to enjoy which promises some fascinating sights.

One of the 2011 Miami International Boat Show's major highlights will be a semi submarine geared towards consumers and the world's only hands-free diver propulsion vehicle in addition to water themed activities for diving enthusiasts.  Don't stay holed up in your Miami Beach homes this weekend; try something new and mingle at the boat show!

Miami Beach Christmas Events - Boat Parade 2010

Miami Beach events are already off to a good start for the upcoming holidays. The first Holiday Boat Parade was held in 1998. It was started by the Miami Outboard Club and has over the past 12 years attracted an increasing number of participants. The event has attracted over 70 boats in the last several years and 100 are expected to participate in this year’s Miami Beach events.

The City of Miami hosts the Boat Parade as a part of the Holiday Magic celebrations and the parade benefits the children of Centro Mater Child Care Services. This is a non-profit organization that provides services to children from infants to 6th grade, including after-school services.

The Miami Beach events this year will allow residents and visitors alike several locations from which they can watch the boat parade. The starting point is the Miami Outboard Club, heading toward Miami Beach, it will pass Monument Island, crossing under the Macarthur Causeway and continuing along Government Cut. The parade will pass several good spots for watching the event when it passes Bayside, Bay Front Park and the Miami Children’s Museum.

Turning at Brickell Key it will pass the park and Bayside again as well as the American Airlines Arena. Heading back to the Miami Outboard club it will go under the Causeway again and pass the Miami Yacht Club and Jungle Island. The fun doesn’t end there. After the parade, Miami Beach events will include a Dance Party hosted by the club for those who participated in the parade as well as their family, guests and the general public. There will be prizes during this event for the best-decorated boats in many categories.

Participation is increasing and the hope is that it will continue to do so. There are many sponsors who make the boat parade possible. From the U.S. Coast Guard to the Miami-Dade Marine Patrol, the City of Miami Beach Police Department as well as the City of Miami Police Department, the Coast Guard Auxiliary and private and corporate sponsors, the support received is bound to make it a success as one of the largest Miami Beach events of its type in Florida.
