Luxury and Adventure on Florida’s Paradise Coast

At Naples Beach, located just moments from downtown Naples, discover the serenity of nature. Even on a weekday, the historic landmark pier is a flurry of activity – friendly fishermen comparing their latest catch, large pelicans flying overhead and children of all ages indulging in a refreshing ice cream cone. You can catch sight of a dolphin swimming right by the pier.

After an exciting day at the beach, I continue my adventures on water, exploring the awe-inspiring beauty of the Everglades. Traversing the stunning mangrove estuaries by kayak, an exotic and unspoiled Florida is laid bare. Wading birds, ospreys and even jumping mullet fish greet me at every turn. At Wooten’s Airboat, a seasoned captain takes me on an exhilarating airboat ride where I come face-to-face with several giant alligators. Make sure to bring your camera.

Enjoy playing a round or two at one of North America’s top golf destinations. Naples and Marco Island are home to over 90 different courses, 1,620 holes and over a half-million yards, offering plenty of choices for every skill level. In fact, many of the top private courses are affiliated with area resorts and offer private tee times for guests. 

Downtown Naples is a real foodie’s paradise, full of exciting award-wining restaurants. At Sea Salt, you’ll find fresh seafood, exquisite and diverse salts, and an extensive wine list. Enjoy the area’s popular stone crab at The Turtle Club, one of many luxurious beachside restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious meal right on the sand. Or, dine in style aboard the Naples Princess yacht for an up-close look at Port Royal’s extravagant waterfront mansions. It’s the perfect way to end your idyllic Florida vacation, soaking in the Gulf of Mexico’s breathtaking sunset aboard a champagne cruise.
