Naples is the most refined address on Florida's Gulf Coast, and Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort, occupies the best site in it: 125 acres along 1,000 feet of white-sand beach in Old Naples, steps from the boutiques of Fifth Avenue South. The resort opened in November 2025 on the grounds of the beloved 1946 Naples Beach Hotel, redesigned by Hart Howerton with interiors by Champalimaud Design, bleached pecky cypress ceilings, crisp white millwork, and louvered woodwork that moves light and air through the spaces without effort. Naples Municipal Airport is about ten minutes by car. The 220 rooms, including 57 suites, begin at 49 square meters and are built for indoor-outdoor living, each with a furnished private terrace.
The Merchant Room is led by Chef Gavin Kaysen, a two-time James Beard Award winner making his first restaurant outside the Midwest, a New American brasserie running French technique through Midwestern ingredients, with dry-aged steaks and house-made pasta among the signatures. HB's returns as the only true beachfront restaurant in Old Naples, serving fresh seafood at the water's edge; Sunset Bar reclaims its position as the city's best seat for watching the Gulf go orange. Sanctuary Spa spreads across three levels and over 2,800 square meters, with 16 treatment rooms and a thermal circuit inspired by the indigenous Calusa culture, elemental therapies organized around ocean, plant, heat, and air. Two outdoor pools, a rooftop lap pool, tennis courts, and a four-lane bowling alley complete the picture. A Tom Fazio–designed golf course opens in 2027. Naples Beach Club is the kind of resort that distills a coastal way of life into a single address.
