A private transfer to or from MIA Airport and Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach covers 21.9 miles in a black SUV or private van, taking about 44 to 52 minutes door to door at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver tracks the inbound flight, waits curbside, and drives north on the I-95 Express lanes to Sunny Isles Beach.
Each price below is the full per-vehicle fare for a one-way private transfer between the airport and the resort, locked at booking.
The simplest way is a pre-booked private ride: reserve a black SUV for up to five travelers or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups, and one vehicle carries your party straight to the resort. After you reserve by WhatsApp or email, the driver follows your inbound flight in real time. When you clear the terminal and step outside, the car is already at the curb — the included pickup is curbside, so there is no app to open and no car to hail after a long flight. For travelers who prefer to be met inside, an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on. From MIA the driver heads north along the I-95 Express lanes toward Sunny Isles Beach, handling the toll roads and the route while you settle in for the ride.
We run private point-to-point transfers only, so the vehicle you book is reserved for your group alone — no other passengers, no extra stops, no waiting on a schedule. The fare is a flat rate locked at the moment you book: it does not move for traffic, time of day, or demand, so the number you confirm is the number you pay. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating your pickup straightforward. You book and stay in touch through direct WhatsApp messaging, so you can send your flight details, ask about extra luggage, or flag a small pet ahead of time and get a real reply. The whole arrangement is built around one coordinated arrival rather than a generic ride request, which matters most at the end of a long travel day into Miami.
Your flat fare covers tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel — there are no add-ons for the toll lanes heading north. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the full route in a clean, climate-controlled black SUV or private Sprinter van. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, so you can confirm your hotel arrival or message family on the way to Sunny Isles Beach. The standard luggage allowance and the curbside flight-tracked pickup described above are part of the rate. A few items sit outside the base fare and are confirmed when you book, so there are no surprises at the curb.
Most travelers pay only the flat fare above. A short list of optional items is settled in advance by WhatsApp, never sprung on you on trip day:
The 21.9-mile trip takes about 44 minutes off-peak and up to 52 minutes at peak times. The driver runs north on the I-95 Express lanes, the most direct path from the airport toward Sunny Isles Beach. The gap between off-peak and peak is mostly Miami rush-hour volume on the interstate; weekday mornings and late afternoons tend to land at the higher end of that range, while mid-morning, midday, and late-evening departures usually come in closer to 44 minutes. Because your fare is fixed when you book, traffic on the day never changes what you pay — it only shifts the arrival time within that window. The driver watches your inbound flight, so if you land early or late the pickup is re-timed to match, and you still reach the resort by the same coordinated route.
Acqualina is an oceanfront luxury resort and residences directly on the sand in Sunny Isles Beach, a slim barrier-island stretch of Atlantic shoreline north of Miami Beach. The setting is a quiet, upscale beach district known for high-rise residences, fine dining, and a calm resort atmosphere rather than nightlife crowds. Guests come for the beach, the spa-and-pool side of a destination property, and easy access to the wider Miami area for shopping and waterfront dining. You can review rooms, dining, and amenities on the resort’s official website or on its Leading Hotels of the World listing.
Sunny Isles Beach is a residential beach community lined with oceanfront towers and a wide public shore. The area leans relaxed and polished — beachfront strolls, parks, and casual-to-fine dining sit within the district, with the larger Aventura shopping area and South Beach within an easy drive. It reads as a calm coastal base rather than a busy downtown.
We offer three private vehicle tiers for this route, each reserved for your group alone. Choose by headcount and luggage, and message us if you are unsure which size suits your party.
Payment is split so you confirm the booking up front and settle the balance on trip day. The structure is simple and is set when you reserve.
Daytime hours with no surcharge run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small surcharge, applied per the vehicle type below.
Nothing extra to do on your end. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically, whether you land early or late. There is no need to re-book, and the flat fare you locked at booking does not change because of a delay — the pickup is simply re-timed to your actual arrival.
The included pickup is curbside: once you clear the terminal and step outside, the driver is already at the curb, since your flight is tracked in real time. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, that in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on you arrange when booking.
The rate includes 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger. Traveling with more, or with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van — it is easy to arrange, so bring what you need and just let us know ahead of time.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the rate list above, whether that is two travelers or a full van. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare, and trips outside daytime hours add the small surcharge noted in the night-hours section.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice — message us on WhatsApp before your trip and travel with your pet inside a pet carrier. Letting us know ahead of time means the right vehicle is ready for you and your pet at pickup, with no scramble at the curb on arrival day.
A private van for 6 to 14 passengers is your “shuttle” option, and it is private to your group — never a shared ride. The base per-vehicle fare is the rate shown above; for pickups after 9 PM, the van adds a 10% surcharge over the trip value, while the SUV adds a small flat surcharge per trip.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
