Port Royal

 

One of Naples’ most exclusive and affluent neighborhoods, Port Royal is home to a small community of prestigious families and individuals drawn in by the allure of spectacular waterfront mansions and nearly universal access to the network of waterways that make boating one of the most popular community activities. 

 

Port Royal is a water lover's paradise, spanning only two square miles and nestled between the sparkling waters of Naples Bay and the vast Gulf of Mexico. Covered in stately palm trees and only reachable by boat or quiet residential streets, the neighborhood has become a private hideaway for the ultra-wealthy and famous. 

 

• Stunning waterfront mansions with private docking facilities
• Private, exclusive community
• Boating and watersports hub

 

Port Royal residents value their privacy, and the neighborhood does not host many popular dining or entertainment options open to the public. Most locals are prestigious Port Royal Club members and often gather there for an elegant dinner or lunch by the pool. However, as Downtown Naples is only a short drive away, Port Royal residents can often shop or dine in the city before retreating to their tranquil waterfront hideaways. 

 

Although Port Royal’s private and prestigious atmosphere means not many bustling restaurants or busy bars can be found in the area, surrounding neighborhoods play host to a variety of popular dining spots. In nearby Naples, Mediterrano serves spectacular Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on fresh seafood in a bright, inviting venue with umbrella-shaded al fresco seating options. Equally popular among Port Royal residents is The Boathouse on Naples Bay, a charming waterfront restaurant featuring a menu filled with delicious seafood dishes and unique drinks. The laid-back atmosphere provided by the restaurant makes it a great spot for lunch with friends or a lazy evening gazing out over the quiet waters. 

 

To experience old-school Naples hospitality, don’t miss the Old Naples Pub, a welcoming neighborhood joint known for its elevated pub grub, rustic setting, and well-stocked bar. 

 

For Port Royal residents searching for dining and entertainment options a little closer to home, the spectacular, private Port Royal Club is a premier destination offering several exclusive onsite restaurants as well as direct access to the pristine Naples Beach and a popular poolside bar. 

 

Port Royal’s network of waterways makes the neighborhood a popular choice among avid boaters. As such, it’s unsurprising that much of the local recreational activities revolve around water-based activities like sailing or kayaking. Besides taking to the ocean by yacht or boat, many Port Royal residents spend their days at the Port Royal Club, where members can laze by the pool, access the lovely Naples Beach, enjoy a tennis match on the club’s exquisite courts, or spend the day at the onsite spa. Alternatively, Cutlass Cove Beach Club is a relaxed, private club only accessible to property owners along Cutlass Lane and Gordon Drive. Featuring two chickee huts, direct beach access, and hosting regular social events, the club is frequented by eligible members and their families who enjoy mixing with their neighbors and other Port Royal residents. 

 

For Port Royal locals who prefer land-based activities, a visit to the nearby Bayview Park is sure to entertain, offering spectacular views of Naples Bay, picnic tables, a public pavilion, and a launch point for jet skis, boats, and canoes. 

And for those looking to partake in a more fast-paced form of entertainment, Downtown Naples is just a short drive away and plays host to a number of bars, clubs, and recreational attractions, including Naples Beach, the Naples Yacht Club, and Naples Pier.
