Three days — Ritz-Carlton golf, spa treatment, private dining, and Everglades airboat at sunset.
The Ritz beach is private and calm. Arrive, get settled, hit the beach, change, and make the reservation you booked weeks ago.
Italian restaurant with one of the better wine lists in Naples. Small, intimate, reservation required. The homemade pasta and a bottle of Barolo is the right move.
If your party has a private plane, Naples Municipal (APF) puts you 10 minutes from the hotel. Otherwise RSW Fort Myers is 40 min south — budget the drive time.
Two Ritz properties in Naples — the original beach property and the newer Tiburón resort. The beach property has direct Gulf access and the better location. Rates $450–800/night in season.
The La Mer spa at the Ritz Naples is the best spa in southwest Florida. The couples package includes the thermal pools, full-body treatment, and lunch on the beach terrace. Budget $400–600 for the day.
Naples in season (December–April) is genuinely great. Naples in July is 95 degrees with 90% humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. There's no middle ground — plan for season or accept the tradeoffs. Prices are 40% lower in summer if that helps the math.
Stone crab season runs October 15 – May 1. Truluck's on Fifth Avenue gets fresh-cracked claws from their own boats. The medium claws with mustard sauce are the order. This is the one Naples food experience worth calling a tradition.
The Everglades western entrance is 45 minutes east of Naples. Sunset airboat tours are the most atmospheric — the light on the sawgrass is different than midday, and the alligators are more active in cooler temps. Captain Jack's in Everglades City runs good tours.
