Four Seasons Gulf Coast debut delivers sophisticated beachfront living with thoughtfully crafted experiences and timeless elegance
The Gulf Coast welcomes its newest crown jewel, with the opening of Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort—an extraordinary oceanfront oasis that sets a new standard for luxury living, design, and hospitality in Southwest Florida. Set on 1,000 feet (300 metres) of white-sand beach stretching across 125 lushly landscaped acres (50 hectares), this debut signals a bold evolution for Gulf Coast hospitality, introducing an unparalleled level of refinement and elegance.
With 220 exquisite guest accommodations, including 57 stunning suites, Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort delivers an unmatched breadth of amenities: five diverse dining destinations, a full-service spa and wellness centre, racquet sports facilities, expansive event venues, and Naples’ newest golf resort experience.
In addition to the Resort’s opening, the extensive 125-acre (50 hectare) coastal destination is introducing 153 exceptional luxury residences and a Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole golf course in partnership with Discovery Land Company, the global luxury developer renowned for its private communities. The highly amenities golf course spans 100 acres (40 hectares) and is set to open in 2026. Inclusive of 58 beachfront and 95 golf side homes, The Residences offer access to renowned Four Seasons service and are designed for elevated living in an amenity-rich environment.
A rare gem on the Gulf Coast, Naples is treasured for its distinct combination of stunning natural beauty, rich culture and a relaxed lifestyle. With its idyllic beachfront setting, this sweeping new resort redefines what it means to experience the destination. Tucked into the heart of the Old Naples community, resort guests can easily explore the city’s charm with proximity to both Historic Third Street and fashionable 5th Avenue for shopping, dining, or just strolling. Surrounded by the turquoise water, aquatic pursuits from boating and fishing to paddleboarding are all also in easy reach.
Inspired by the charm of Old Naples, exterior architect Hart Howerton’s approach reinterprets the city’s historic cottage home style in a contemporary form and reflects the tradition of local craftsmanship. The resort’s interiors, designed by award-winning Champalimaud Design, exude a refined residential feel. Guests arrive to a soaring, light-filled lobby, where crisp white millwork and a striking, sculpturally-lit overhead frieze features bas relief of palm leaves indigenous to southwest Florida. Adding warmth to the majestic tone, the coffered ceiling features bleached Pecky Cypress, a highly textured rare wood native to the state. Off the lobby, a carefully composed sequence of archways draws the eye through The Library and The Merchant Room, the resort’s signature restaurant with its evocative mural by renowned fine arts painter Dean Barger. Stunning 1920s-inspired custom lighting, including a golden palm branch chandelier adds a gilded expression of Naples’ enchanted heritage.
Each of the resort’s 220 guest rooms and suites blends exquisite natural materials, neutral palettes, and curated textures to reflect the surrounding landscape and water. The high-ceilinged guest room interiors channel the tranquillity of the coast with painted wood panelling, carved teak consoles, upholstered banquette dining nooks nestled beneath sea glass chandeliers, and bespoke cabinetry in flamingo pink or periwinkle blue lacquer housing the in-room minibar. Each guest room offers an expansive ocean view terrace fully furnished with plush daybeds and dining areas for fluid indoor-outdoor living. Generous walk-in closets with custom leather, woodwork and integrated lighting further enhance the residential appeal.
Debuting in early 2026, the resort’s most luxurious accommodation, the 7,000 square foot (650 metre) five-bedroom Sabal Suite, named in honour of Florida’s state tree, offers panoramic ocean views from its sixth-floor perch. The expansive suite’s showpiece is a 2,100 square foot (200 metre) terrace with miles of Gulf and coastline vistas. It features a stunning circular pool in the centre with an adjacent whirlpool, while an extensive veranda offers shaded dining and lounge areas. It is designed as a retreat for refined relaxation and meaningful connection, offering unforgettable escapes for couples and multigenerational families.
Poised to be one of the region’s most in-demand dining destinations, the resort debuts five distinct culinary concepts, each designed to celebrate Naples’ coastal bounty and global sensibilities. Guests can enjoy everything from relaxed beachside fare to elevated fine dining, all enhanced by thoughtful design and a strong sense of place.
Wellness takes centre stage at Sanctuary Spa, a serene, two-level, 30,000-square-foot (2,800 square metre) designed to restore, energize, and uplift, while delivering an experience unparalleled on the Gulf Coast. With 13 treatment rooms including three spacious VIP suites, the spa offers a deeply personalized menu of therapies inspired by the natural elements of Ocean, Sky, Plant, Air, and Heat.
Whether relaxing on the resort’s soft white sand beach, indulging in a poolside cabana, or venturing out on the turquoise waters, the attentive staff crafts every detail for an idyllic getaway. Kayaks, paddleboards, beach games, and more are all on hand for those looking to stay active. There are also two pools surrounded by private cabanas and plush loungers, including one with a splash area that families will enjoy.
