Dania Pointe Wins Porthole Cruise and Travel's 2024 Editor-in-Chief Award
Retail center recognized as best place to go pre- and post-cruise in Fort Lauderdale
DANIA BEACH, Fla., June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dania Pointe, a 102-acre premier South Florida open-air destination with nearly one million square feet of retail, entertainment, and restaurants, has received a 2024 Editor-in-Chief Award from Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine.
For more than 25 years, the awards program has recognized some of the top destinations to visit, cruise lines to take, travel items to pack, and places to check out along the way when planning a vacation. Dania Pointe was one of just two shopping destinations awarded the honor of best destination to visit pre- and post-cruise.
Developed by Kimco Realty in 2018, Dania Pointe has become a hot spot for locals and tourists alike. Less than 15 minutes from the Fort Lauderdale Airport and Port Everglades, this master-planned, open-air center is an ideal pre- and post- cruise destination.
Dania Pointe has something for everyone, including numerous dining experiences like Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants, Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse, and more—along with an abundance of sought-after brand names like Anthropologie, Sephora, American Eagle, J.Crew and Nike. Additionally, visitors can enjoy onsite events and various entertainment spots like Regal movie theater, which offers 4DX, RPX, ScreenX & VIP experiences, Bowlero and Dania Improv.
Already a hot spot in the heart of Dania Beach, 2024 is set to be an even more exciting year for Dania Pointe visitors. Recent and soon-to-open concepts include Lovesac, MisterO1, Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar, Pura Vida, H&M, Puttshack and more. Additionally, Spirit Airlines recently opened an 11-acre Spirit Central facility at Dania Pointe last month—its new corporate campus.
"We're honored to receive this award," said Maynel Alvarez-Requejo, Kimco's Senior Director of Lifestyle Marketing. "We've worked hard to make Dania Pointe a premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination—and this recognition highlights our dedication to the vibrant community we've created."
Bill Panoff, Chairman and CEO of the PPI group, a media company specializing in cruise and travel marketing, revealed the award winners. He is a veteran in the field, with 37 years as Porthole Cruise Magazine's Editor-In-Chief.
"Dania Pointe is a great spot for pre- or post-cruise stays. The lifestyle complex features a variety of dining options, shops, hotels, and fun activities to enhance your cruise vacation," said Panoff.
Alvarez-Requejo said it was an honor to be acknowledged by Panoff, who has been a valued mentor to many in the cruise and travel industry.
"This recognition will continue to propel the advancement of Dania Pointe as a premier destination for South Florida locals and visitors," she said.
