Ember Coast
A spread of fresh Gulf seafood and crudo

For the food-led

Gulf seafood, fine Italian, and a chef in your kitchen.

Naples punches far above its size at the table. We build the trip around it.

Design This Trip

Naples is one of Florida's deepest dining towns. The Betulia restaurants anchor it: house pasta and a coveted bar at Bar Tulia, a glamorous chop house at The Continental, and refined Italian seafood at Sea Salt. Add the opulent seafood and caviar of Sails and the inventive plates of USS Nemo.

Anchor the trip around the markets

Time the week around the Saturday Third Street South farmers market and the seasonal markets along the coast, source fresh Gulf catch off the boat, and bring a private chef into the residence for a relaxed evening built from the day's haul. A wine dinner on Fifth rounds it out.

A private chef plus a guided market morning is the ideal luxury-food spine, with the waterfront icons and Fifth Avenue tables reserved around it.
