Sometimes you just need to decompress. When that moment strikes, head to the Naples Grande Beach Resort, which beckons with amenities from water sports to golf and beyond. The star of the show, however, is perhaps the all-natural and organic Spa at Naples Grande.
Following Japanese tradition, the spa complex is set among lush greenery, relaxation areas, and soothing water features, dotted by four treatment pavilions. The standout among them is the Signature Villa, where guests can book a Retreat package for individuals, couples, or small parties. After indulging in a massage followed by a salt bath float or scalp massage, you’ll have the building all to yourself—complete with an infrared sauna, plunge pool, and private sundeck.
You could also go high-tech with one of the spa’s nontraditional options like cryotherapy (targeted treatments or whole-body options), vibroacoustic electromagnetic and infrared (VEMI) bed therapy that mimics the body’s own frequencies to induce a deep meditative state to recharge and detoxify cells, or an Avacen session, which uses heat to increase microcirculation and enhance oxygen delivery to muscles. In between appointments, unwind in the sanctuary of the indoor-outdoor spa village, with its sundeck, wading pool, thermal pool, steam room, meditation lounge, and walking labyrinth for a full day of relaxation for mind and body.
After such spa sensations, book a table at the Naples Grande’s signature restaurant, The Catch of the Pelican, where dishes are both locally and seasonally focused. Most of the produce used is grown in the hotel’s kitchen garden, and seafood is sourced from local day boats.
After dinner is the ideal time to head to the resort’s 3-mile stretch of white-sand beach adjacent to Clam Pass Park. Make your way along the charming boardwalk for a leisurely stroll through the mangrove-laden estuary. In a hurry? Hop a ride on the golf cart trolley or borrow a bicycle. If you time it right, you can grab a drink at beachfront bar Rhode’s End and settle in to ooh and aah at a stunning sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.
