A Romantic Weekend In Naples, Florida

Naples is the perfect place for your next couple’s weekend getaway. The glittering nightlife combined with relaxing secluded beaches creates the most romantic atmosphere which permeates the whole city. With a rental house convenient to downtown and the beach, you can spend your time exploring gourmet restaurants, boutique shopping, pristine white sand beaches, and luxurious resort spas. Here are our recommendations for how to spend a romantic weekend in Naples, Florida.

Spend a Day on the Beach

Naples is famous for its beautiful white sand beaches, and spending the day on the beach is the best way to kick off your romantic getaway. Stroll hand in hand down the boardwalk at the serenely secluded Clam Pass Beach Park or pack a picnic basket for an outdoor lunch at any of the multiple beaches in Delnor Wiggins State Park. Naples is full of private, secluded beaches perfect for couples looking to spend quality time relaxing together.

Marco Island is a short trip from Naples and features stunning white sand beaches and natural beauty. Rental stands offer kayak and paddleboard rentals for adventurous couples to explore the dunes and inlets around the island. The most popular beach on Marco Island is Tigertail Beach Park, where the natural surroundings are untouched by development. South Beach is the other public beach on the island, steps away from resorts serving delicious lunch menus for those looking for a lunch option without the sandy surroundings. 

Relax with a Couple’s Spa Day

Naples is known for its resorts, and with resorts come luxurious spas, perfect for your romantic couple’s getaway! The Ritz-Carlton and the Naples Grande both offer the height of luxury with all the amenities of a resort, but smaller hotels like Bellaserra Hotel and Inn on Fifth boast the same luxury experience with a more private atmosphere. If you’ve spent too long on the beach, The Purely You Spa has an extensive massage menu and specially targeted facials to counteract the effects of sunburn. The Spa on Fifth specializes in couple’s massages and concierge services for spa guests.

For an internationally renowned experience, don’t miss the Naples Grande Spa, which features private pavilions including a spa villa complete with soaking tub, whirlpool bath, sundeck and patio. Steam rooms, saunas and outdoor meditation areas surround private treatment rooms where you can book any service you could imagine.

Wine and Dine in Downtown Naples

After a day spent sunbathing or relaxing at the spa, head downtown to sample some of the best restaurants in Florida. The glamorous 5^th Avenue strip is full of upscale fine dining with impeccable service and romantic atmospheres. Order gourmet seafood from five-star restaurants like Sails and Mediterrano, or linger over dessert at The Grill at the Ritz-Carlton.

Naples nightlife offers something for everyone, whether you and your special someone like to dance the night away or see and be seen at a glamorous lounge. The Blue Martini offers nightly drink specials, live music and dancing. The London Club in downtown Naples is great for dining and you can enjoy live jazz music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Another unforgettable experience for your romantic vacation is a sunset dinner cruise. Naples Princess Cruises offers luxury yachts for buffet lunch, sunset and dinner cruises on the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing could be more special than sitting with your loved one on a beautiful yacht watching the sunset over the water and eating a delicious meal. Its a great way to end your romantic weekend in Naples, Florida
