LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort

There's no dearth of beach resorts in Naples, but what has been missing -- that is, until now -- is a more intimate resort directly on the beach, where you don't feel underdressed or socially inappropriate when walking through the lobby in a bathing-suit cover-up. Located on pristine Vanderbilt Beach, this resort filled the void with plush, beautifully decorated rooms overlooking the Gulf and bay (each with private balcony), a spectacular 4,500-square-foot spa, gourmet seafood restaurant Baleen, and a sprawling, scenic, and challenging Bob Cupp-designed golf club and the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. But back to the rooms. The French-country decor and goose-down pillows are hardly what you'd expect at a beach resort, but there's the rub! You'll find none of that cookie-cutter, as-seen-in-Martha-Stewart-Living stuff here. Big bathrooms are luxurious, decked out in marble. Everything has a distinct personality, especially the impressive staff that will go to any lengths to accommodate you, without being overly doting.
