The stylish coastal resort of Naples, often referred to as 'the finest town in Florida', is a wonderful place to stay, filled with gourmet restaurants and attractive pedestrian-friendly streets. On your first day, take the Naples Trolley tour to get your bearings and visit key places of interest. If the outdoor life appeals, Marco Island will seem like a dream come true! This pristine island, situated on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, not to mention extensive bird and nature sanctuaries.
Overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, this elegant hotel offers a range of activities taking advantage of the best of Florida's natural assets. A Bob Cupp-designed, 18-hole golf course is just 3 miles away, while a range of water sports enables you to enjoy the sparkling aqua water and wide sandy beach!...
Founded in 1946, the Naples Beach Club boasts a rich history in the southwest Florida region. It is the only beachfront resort in this area to feature an on-site Championship golf course (with special rates for Virgin Holidaymakers!) and an award-winning tennis centre. There is also a world-class spa for those who like to be pampered, offering the latest in massages and beauty treatments.
Pelican Bay is a rather swish area - only the best for Virgin Holidaymakers! The beach is just a 1-mile drive or walk, and this Mediterranean-style hotel sits beside an attractive lake close to many restaurants. It's all very pretty, with a lovely pool terrace for lazing away a couple of days when you are not exploring Naples and the surrounding area.
No matter what your age, there's something for you at this fantastic new resort set in beautiful tropical gardens. There's a 5,000ft adventure pool with a huge corkscrew slide, a 25m lap pool and much more. You can try kayaking, go on dolphin-watching trips, enjoy a game of golf or tennis, or even go for a bicycle ride and explore this lovely area.
The Exquisite Inn on Fifth is located 5 blocks away from the beautiful white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Fifth Avenue South is Naples most desirable address and is a historic main street. Shoppers can find fine art galleries, antique shops, clothing boutiques, jewellers and Naples finest cafes and restaurants.
