There are beautiful places to visit, and then there are places whose beauty becomes part of everyday life. Naples, Florida, is one of them.
Since its beginnings as a seaside retreat in the late 19th century, Naples has drawn people to its Gulf shores, natural beauty and relaxed coastal character. Today, that enduring appeal is receiving recognition far beyond Florida.
Condé Nast Traveler recently named Naples among its 20 Most Beautiful Towns in the World, placing it alongside destinations across Italy, Japan, Switzerland and beyond. Most notably, Naples was the only U.S. destination to make the list.
The distinction celebrates qualities that have long made Naples remarkable. Sugar-white beaches and turquoise Gulf waters meet palm-lined streets, celebrated golf communities, sophisticated dining and the charm of Old Naples. Here, a day can move effortlessly from the beach to the boutiques and local dining of Fifth Avenue South or the golf course to an afternoon on the water.
Beyond its beauty lies an equally remarkable collection of homes that capture the many ways to experience Naples. From iconic waterfront addresses to residences woven into the city’s most celebrated neighborhoods, discover five exceptional properties represented by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty that bring the Naples lifestyle home.
