The Ritz-Carlton Naples

Florida

OVERVIEW

Rising above the palm trees and shoreline of the Mexican Gulf, the Ritz-Carlton Naples is like a beachfront palace with its grand façade and even more opulent interiors. This family-friendly resort in Florida has it all: a long sandy beach, sports activities, myriad dining experiences and even more leisure facilities to ensure that every guest journeys home feeling both rested and fully reinvigorated, after their visit.

Every morning, as you wake from a peaceful night’s sleep in your classically elegant guestroom, the toughest thing will be simply deciding what to do that day. If feeling energetic, you can take the short shuttle up to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort and practise your swing on the two 18-hole courses, or stay onsite for a game of tennis, hit the gym or head to the beach where watersports await, such as parasailing or kayaking. If this all sounds like too much however, fear note, as tennis racquets can be easily exchanged for a cocktail as you laze by the hotel’s expansive freeform pool or down on the beach; there are even private cabanas that come with butler service so you needn’t lift a finger.

For anyone staying at the Ritz-Carlton with kids, you can relax as little ones have a splash about in the children’s pool, or drop them off with the team at Nature’s Wonders so they can learn all about Mother Earth, the environment and sustainability. Complementing this kids’ program is a host of aquariums and science labs, where protecting our planet is again the focus, though it is a lot of fun too! They’ll also love the VUE lounge, an entertainment suite kitted out with huge LCD TVs, DVDs, virtual reality games, an Xbox 360, PlayStation and Nintendo Wii, which is as fun for grown-ups as it is for kids!

However, one of the adults-only zones is the Ritz-Carlton Naples’ incredible spa, spread over three floors and encompassing a sauna, steam room, hot tub, outdoor mineral pool and 30 treatment rooms, plus a healthy bar for light salads and smoothies. This is all in addition to the adult’s lap pool and al fresco Jacuzzi, promising plenty of peaceful moments while on holiday in Florida and residing in this, a luxe Naples resort that has a little bit of everything. The seven restaurants and bars are then all-too tempting, serving up a wide array of cuisines and beverages to suit your taste; for extra privacy, stay in a Club Room or Suite to get exclusive access to the Club Lounge, which offers complimentary treats throughout the day. Just another perk at the ever-appealing Ritz-Carlton Naples.
