Miami Beach will soon be the place to be as thousands of women who love women will descend upon its sandy beaches for the largest charity women’s week in the country.
Taking place from May 11-15, 2011 Aqua Girl® continues to attract women from all over the country, the Americas and around the globe. The week continues to grow year by year with newly added events that continue to enhance its wide appeal. With 14 cultural events, and parties to satisfy an array of tastes, this year won’t disappoint.
Now celebrating a 12th year, 100% of the proceeds of this dynamic week benefit the Aqua Foundation for Women, the not-for-profit-foundation whose primary mission is to serve as a funding catalyst for lesbian, bisexual, and transgender wellness and equality in South Florida through grants, scholarships, and initiatives. Every woman who attends gets to enjoy herself and do some good; helping her community by just showing up and buying her ticket. Aqua Girl® organizers and their team of committed volunteers have created what is recognized worldwide as one of the hottest Women’s festivals in the country to date. Having said that, a huge part of this week-long fete has to do with the posh accommodations via sanctioning one of South Beach’s most acclaimed and luxurious hotels as the official host location for not only lodging but some of the parties as well. South Beach will never be the same as this well anticipated yearly set of events is about to make the city a bit hotter.
For those wanting to stay where the girls are for 2011- The official Aqua Girl® host hotel is the Surfcomber Resort. The hotel is modern, exquisite and recognized as an original Art Deco landmark. The best part is its sexy oceanfront location just for the girls who want to enjoy and pamper themselves without the hassle. There is no reason to stay anywhere else as Aqua Girl® is exclusively taking over this fabulous location. A great advantage for ladies is the host hotel guests can enjoy the infamous Aqua Girl® pool parties for free. Guests can get in on the action, be part of all the sun, sea, excitement, and experience all that is Aqua Girl® by staying at the host hotel where each room will get entry for two people to both pool events. It sounds like loads of fun doesn’t it? Rates commence at just $199 per night with a two (2)-night minimum required for stay.
