For two

A Naples honeymoon, paced for the two of you.

Wake to the Gulf, dress for Fifth Avenue, and let someone else carry every reservation in between.

Design This Trip

A Naples honeymoon is an easy, elegant arc. Base at the adults-leaning LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, where rooms sit steps from the sand and the SpaTerre runs Balinese rituals, or take the flagship Ritz-Carlton Naples for full Gulf-front grandeur and the polished service the city is known for.

The moments worth planning around

Build the days around a sunset sail on the Naples Princess, a dressed-up dinner at Sails or The Continental, and a couples' treatment steps from the beach. Cap the quiet evenings strolling Fifth Avenue South and watching the sun drop from the historic Naples Pier.

We hold the hard reservations, time the cruise to the best light, and keep the days soft enough that the only decision left is where to watch the sunset.

What’s inside

  • Adults-leaning beachfront suites at LaPlaya
  • A private sunset cruise on Naples Bay and the Gulf
  • Couples' spa steps from the sand
  • The city's best tables on Fifth and Third, reserved
  • Sunsets from the historic Naples Pier
