Situated on the powdery white shores of Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast, this iconic oceanfront hotel is among the very best in the Sunshine State. The resort underwent an extensive revamp in 2023, adding the gleaming Vanderbilt Tower complete with an exclusive lounge and breathtaking new lobby.

Up on the 14th floor lies the exclusive Presidential Suite – the perfect setting to take in the sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. Spanning 2,257 sq ft, the one-bedroom suite features an expansive living and dining area, as well as four separate balconies (it can also be connected to adjoining rooms for larger groups).

The suite comes with Club lounge access where you’ll be treated to an array of beverage and culinary offerings, as well as a dedicated concierge to attend to your every need.

Elsewhere at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, there are several dining spots to choose from including an upscale steakhouse, sleek sushi restaurant, veg-focused Mediterranean eatery and laid-back coffee house serving homemade ice cream and sweet treats.

There’s also an impressive spa complete with a steam room, several saunas and an outdoor mineral pool. After your treatment, head upstairs to the spa’s dining concept, =H20+, where you’ll find an assortment of healthy salads, smoothies and cold pressed juices.

And if you’d rather while away an afternoon by the ocean, it’s worth booking one of the resort’s private beachside cabanas which come with a personal cabana butler, comfy lounge chairs and a luxury cooler stocked with drinks and snacks.

While one of the biggest draws at Ritz-Carlton Naples is undoubtedly its prime beachside spot, the resort is also ideally located for exploring Naples’ collection of boutique shops and gourmet restaurants.

And if sun-worshipping isn’t your thing, the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort can be accessed via a 10-minute shuttle – the brand’s second property in Naples boasts two championship golf courses and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
