With 30 miles of stunning white sand beaches that overlook the
Gulf of Mexico, more than 90 world-class golf courses, a thriving cultural scene and an array of eclectic and luxury boutique shopping experiences, this coastal idyll in Southwest Florida is truly one-of-a-kind. The perfect holiday after the thrills of the theme parks, this is the finer side of Florida for those seeking laid-back luxury - when Only Paradise Will Do.
After the excitement and energy of Orlando or Kissimmee, an escape to Florida's Paradise Coast offers a more serene and sophisticated experience. Expect a refined atmosphere of charming shopping districts, rare natural wildlife and a more relaxed pace of life.
Naples, often referred to as the region's hub, is a sophisticated escape that seamlessly blends nature and glamour. Beyond the iconic white-sand beaches, explore the charming boutiques and designer shops on Fifth Avenue, indulge in fresh seafood at one of the many waterfront restaurants or relax on a breathtaking sunset cruise.
Just south of Naples lies Marco Island, the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands. This island paradise boasts four miles of pristine coastline, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, dolphin spotting and seeking out shells, and offers access to the mangrove-lined estuaries of the Everglades. Whether you're seeking a sophisticated resort experience or a laid-back fishing village atmosphere, Marco Island has something memorable for everyone.
No visit to the Paradise Coast would be complete without exploring the Everglades National Park. The largest subtropical wilderness in North America, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including alligators, crocodiles and over 350 species of birds. Explore the park's unique ecosystem through guided tours, glide through the water on a thrilling airboat ride or enjoy the tranquillity of its natural beauty by kayak.
