Marco Island
The largest of the Ten Thousand Islands and just to the south of Naples, Marco Island is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches with access to the Gulf of Mexico and mangrove-lined estuaries of the Everglades. Offering both a sophisticated resort area on four miles of pristine coastline and a funky fishing village with a historic nautical community, water is a way of life for Marco Island residents and visitors.
Naples
A stylish community often referred to as the region's hub, Naples is known for its sophisticated downtown, effortlessly blending nature and glamour. Here you will find award-winning white-sandy beaches, famed golf courses, an impressive selection of restaurants serving fresh-off-the-dock seafood, boutique and designer shops, and many cultural attractions while retaining its intimate, small-town feel.
Explore the Everglades
The Everglades National Park is officially recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is part of the largest wetlands ecosystem in the US. Where the mainland meets the ocean, this western entrance is FREE and the best way to experience the wilderness is by the very many guided tours on offer - whether it's by airboat or kayak! It's the only sub-tropical mangrove wilderness in the U.S, featuring endangered and rare wildlife species in their natural habitat, and the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles cohabit, plus over 350 species of birds. The Everglades is a straightforward drive from Naples/Marco Island and will take approximately 2 hours, making it an easy day trip for an experience like no other.

Wildlife and Adventure
Of course, no holiday to The Paradise Coast could possibly be complete without a trip to, well, the coast. Finding an incredible stretch of sand to relax on isn’t exactly difficult — with some of the top beaches in the country to be found here — but we want to ensure you find the perfect beach spot for you:
Tigertail Beach
Luxe lovers and families: relax in your Floridian home-from-home at one of our incredible Marco Island hotels near the untouched sand dunes of Tigertail Beach, one of the most beautiful wild beaches in Florida. Wade across the lagoon and you’ll come across three miles of soft, white sand and a whole host of spectacular wildlife. You might even spot dolphins swimming offshore!
South Marco Beach
This Beach is the ideal spot for water sports and paddleboats, with its palm-lined walkway and pristine white sands. South Beach is as good for kids as it is for adults, with perfect swimming conditions and plenty of space to relax and play.
Clams Pass Beach
A holiday in Naples, Florida must include a walk along the beautiful, wildlife-rich boardwalk to Clams Pass Beach, home to 35 acres of mangrove forest. Calm waters, white sands, and, better yet, it remains relatively hidden, despite being just a short distance from our Naples, Florida hotels.
Bonita Springs
Situated north of Naples, Bonita Beach is part of the 10 miles of coastal beaches punctuated by banyan trees and giant oaks in the upscale Bonita Springs. It takes its name from the Spanish word for ‘beautiful’, and it’s not hard to see why. Bonita Springs is famous for its shelling, with the best to be found in the early morning.
