Where Luxury Meets Play: A Family Weekend at Turnberry

Luxury Family Escape Just North of Miami: Turnberry Resort with Water Park

 From the moment you arrive at the Marriott Turnberry in Aventura, you feel like you've stepped into a serene pocket of luxury. The resort is beautifully landscaped, with grand entrances, swaying palms, and Mediterranean-inspired architecture that makes you feel a world away from everyday life. It has that rare blend of elegance and ease—high-end without being stuffy, family-friendly without sacrificing style. The lush golf course wraps around the property like a green ribbon, and the whole resort carries a breezy, tropical vibe that instantly puts you in vacation mode.


We also genuinely loved the rooms. Spacious, tastefully decorated, and filled with natural light, they offered a quiet, comfortable retreat after a full day of swimming and exploring. The beds were plush, the bathrooms felt luxurious, and little touches like private balconies and soft robes made it feel like a true resort stay. It’s the kind of place you actually want to come back to in the evening and just unwind.

A Water Park for Every Age 💦

 Of course, the main event for the kids—and honestly, for us too—was the resort’s incredible Tidal Cove Water Park. This place is a dream for families. With slides of every size, there’s something for everyone: gentle mini-slides for toddlers, thrilling high-speed slides for older kids and adults, a wave rider for the adventurous, and a winding lazy river for those who just want to float and relax. What stood out most to us as parents was the clear emphasis on safety. Lifeguards were present at every turn, and they actively ensured that children only used the attractions suitable for their height and age. That peace of mind made it easy to fully enjoy the day for us adults too!

Perfect for a Weekend—or Just a Day

 Whether you're checking in for a full weekend escape or just visiting the water park for the day with ResortPass, the Marriott Turnberry is the kind of place that delivers on every level. It’s beautiful, well-run, and full of moments that feel special—whether you're sliding into the pool with your kids, sipping a cocktail under the palms, or simply taking in the view. For families looking for a luxurious, easygoing getaway close to home, this Aventura gem is hard to beat. 

Tee Time in Paradise ⛳

While the kids were all about the water slides, golf lovers will be thrilled to know that Turnberry is also home to two championship-level 18-hole golf courses. Designed with lush fairways, water features, and scenic landscaping, the courses are as beautiful as they are fun to play. Whether you're sneaking in a solo round or booking a tee time with friends, it’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors in a setting that feels both refined and relaxed. Even if you’re not playing, the golf course adds to the peaceful vibe of the resort—it's everywhere you look, and it really enhances the feeling of being on a true retreat. 

Dining with a View 🍽

 One of our favorite parts of the weekend was dining at Corsair, the resort’s signature restaurant. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the setting was just as impressive. We chose to sit outside on the terrace, which feels like it spills right onto the golf course. With panoramic views of the perfectly manicured greens and the soft rustle of palm trees all around, it was the kind of setting that invites you to slow down and savor every bite. Whether it was a relaxed breakfast in the morning sun or a glass of wine as the light faded in the evening, Corsair offered a dining experience that felt both refined and relaxed.
