Big news for anyone who’s been eagerly awaiting the opening of Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort: the doors officially swing open next week. I’ll be there on opening day, ready to dive in and experience everything this new coastal gem has to offer firsthand.
Resort Overview
This stunning new beachfront resort is taking shape on the historic grounds of the original Naples Beach Hotel, which first welcomed guests back in 1946. It’s a brand-new, sprawling 125-acre property stretching along the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll find 220 beautifully appointed rooms and suites here, with 57 of those being dedicated suites. For a smooth launch, they’re starting with a soft opening, making only 48 rooms available through November and December of 2025. It’s conveniently located about 45 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and just a mile and a half from the vibrant downtown area of 5th Avenue South. And get this – complimentary Moke electric vehicles are available to help you easily explore the grounds at your leisure.
Accommodations
The rooms and suites have been designed with a charming coastal aesthetic, each featuring its own private terrace. Initially, you’ll be able to book Ocean View Studios and One-Bedroom Suites starting in November 2025. Following that, from December 2025 through February 2026, larger, more luxurious Specialty Suites will become available. These include impressive options like the Cypress, Magnolia, and Sabal suites, some boasting up to five bedrooms. There’s also Building E, which offers extended-stay residences complete with full kitchens, perfect for families or longer visits.
Dining Experiences
The resort is rolling out its culinary offerings in stages, with five distinct dining concepts planned. You can look forward to HB’s on the Gulf, a casual seafood and raw bar that pays homage to the original hotel’s beloved restaurant. For all-day coastal dining with a refined touch, there’s The Merchant Room, curated by the renowned Chef Gavin Kaysen. If you’re planning a beach picnic, the Naples Trading Company offers a convenient grab-and-go café. And for those perfect evening moments, the Sunset Bar will be serving up tropical cocktails alongside a nightly golden-hour ritual. Later, in the third quarter of 2026, The Wager is set to open, a gastro pub promising fun with bowling and games.
Spa and Wellness Sanctuary
Get ready to unwind at the 30,000-square-foot Sanctuary Spa, which is slated to open in mid-December 2025. It sounds like a true oasis, featuring a thermal circuit, vitality pools, and a state-of-the-art fitness center curated by Harley Pasternak. And the views! There’s a rooftop lap pool overlooking the Gulf that I can only imagine is breathtaking. Even before the spa officially opens its doors, you can still schedule spa services; they will be conducted in your room for the time being, offering a private and personalized wellness experience.
Activities and Recreation
With a thousand feet of pristine, private white-sand beach, there’s plenty of room to spread out and soak up the sun. The resort plans to offer a wide array of water sports, bicycles for exploring, and tennis facilities with six Har-Tru courts. Sunset cruises are also on the agenda, promising magical evenings on the water. For golf enthusiasts, a Tom Fazio-designed golf course is set to open in the fall of 2026. And early 2026 will see the launch of Market Square, an entertainment hub complete with a bowling alley, a cinema, and a game lounge – perfect for family fun or a relaxed evening.
Family-Friendly Amenities
Families are clearly a priority here. There’s a Kids For All Seasons Club designed for children aged 4 to 12, as well as a dedicated Teen Centre. Little ones under five eat free, which is always a welcome perk for traveling families. You’ll also find a family-friendly pool and a variety of beachside activities designed to keep everyone entertained.
Opening Offers
For those planning a visit through a FSPP Partner, there are some attractive opening offers. From May through November of 2026, you can take advantage of a “4th Night Free” special on select dates. Additionally, the “Experience More” offer provides nightly resort credits ranging from $100 to $300, depending on your room type, which can enhance your stay.
I’ll be at the Four Seasons Naples next week, right on opening day. I’m eager to share live updates, plenty of photos, and my honest impressions once I’m on-site and can experience it all for myself. It’s always such a thrill to be among the first to explore a new destination.
Here are some glimpses of what I can expect. The resort is set on what was once the beloved Naples Beach Hotel, a place steeped in history since 1946. This new iteration promises a fresh, luxurious take on coastal living, all within a thoughtfully designed 125-acre property. With 220 rooms and suites, many offering breathtaking ocean views, there’s a sense of spaciousness and tranquility from the outset. Even the initial opening is staged, with a limited number of rooms available, ensuring a carefully managed start to what I’m sure will be an exceptional resort experience.
The location itself is a significant draw. Being just a short drive from the airport makes arrival seamless, and its proximity to downtown Naples means the charming shops, restaurants, and culture of 5th Avenue South are easily accessible. It strikes me as the kind of place where you can either completely disconnect and relax within the resort’s amenities or venture out to explore the local flavor. The provision of Moke electric vehicles for getting around the property sounds like a fun and eco-conscious touch, adding to the resort’s relaxed yet sophisticated vibe.
When it comes to accommodations, the coastal-inspired design must be absolutely charming. I’m picturing light, airy spaces, natural textures, and those private terraces offering those coveted Gulf breezes. It’s interesting to see the phased rollout of room types, starting with the Ocean View Studios and One-Bedroom Suites. This likely means they’re prioritizing the most sought-after views first. Then, the larger Specialty Suites, some with multiple bedrooms, will open up, catering to larger families or groups of friends looking for a more exclusive experience. The inclusion of extended-stay residences with full kitchens is a brilliant addition, catering to a demographic that appreciates the comforts of home while traveling.
The culinary landscape sounds incredibly promising. I’m particularly intrigued by HB’s on the Gulf‘s nod to the original hotel; it’s always special when a new property honors its roots. Chef Gavin Kaysen’s involvement in The Merchant Room suggests a commitment to high-quality, contemporary dining. The idea of a grab-and-go café like Naples Trading Company for beach picnics is perfectly practical for a resort setting, allowing for spontaneous seaside meals. And who could resist a Sunset Bar? Those tropical cocktails with a nightly golden-hour ritual sound like the epitome of vacation bliss. The addition of The Wager, with its gastro pub concept and entertainment like bowling, promises to be a lively spot, likely a hit for families and groups looking for some casual fun.
The spa, the Sanctuary Spa, sounds like it’s going to be a truly magnificent retreat. A 30,000-square-foot sanctuary dedicated to wellness implies a comprehensive range of treatments and facilities. The mention of a thermal circuit and vitality pools suggests a focus on holistic well-being, and a fitness center designed by Harley Pasternak is sure to be top-notch. The rooftop lap pool with Gulf views is a unique feature that I’m especially looking forward to experiencing; it sounds like the perfect spot for an invigorating morning swim or a refreshing dip while watching the sunset.
Beyond the spa, the array of activities is impressive. A thousand feet of private beach means ample space for relaxation and play. I’m always keen on exploring water sports, and the availability of bikes and tennis courts provides a good mix of active pursuits. Even the golf course, designed by a renowned name like Tom Fazio, will be a significant draw when it opens. The Market Square, with its bowling, cinema, and game lounge, sounds like a modern take on resort entertainment, offering diverse options for downtime. It’s clear this resort is designed to cater to a wide range of interests and energy levels.
For me, as someone who often travels with my own children, the family perks are always a point of interest. The Kids For All Seasons Club and Teen Centre provide structured activities, allowing kids to have their own adventures while parents might indulge in some relaxation or a quiet meal. The “kids under 5 eat free” policy is a thoughtful touch that can make a difference for families with young children. It shows a genuine understanding of the needs of families traveling together.
