Planning Your Trip

Nestled along Florida’s Paradise Coast, Naples invites travelers to unwind in a setting where relaxation comes naturally. From championship golf and rejuvenating spa days to sunshine-filled hours by the beach or pool, it’s the perfect destination for a refreshing and inspiring getaway—made even more exceptional when experienced from the beachfront luxury of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples.

What To Pack

With warm sunshine much of the year and gentle Gulf breezes in winter, Naples invites effortless outdoor living. Lightweight clothing, breathable fabrics, and sun protection are essentials, especially during its hot, humid summer months. In the milder winter season, a light layer for cooler mornings and evenings ensures comfort as you explore beaches, nature trails, and the resort’s many amenities

Summer Escape

Embrace Naples’ warm, sunny days by packing pieces that keep you active and comfortable outdoors. This is a town that loves tennis, golf, and time spent in the sun—so bring gear that lets you enjoy it all.

 

Consider a mosquito repellent scarf for nature walks or warm evenings; brands like Ex Officio and Orvis offer stylish, travel-friendly options.

 

Naples tends to be slightly more polished than other Florida destinations, so men may want a sport coat for dinners, and women a shawl or light layer for indoor dining or cooler evenings.

Weekend Getaway

Short stay, full itinerary—pack versatile pieces that transition seamlessly from morning workouts to afternoons by the pool and evenings out in town.

 

Workout gear is a must. The resort’s fitness center offers yoga, group cycling, and movement classes perfect for starting the day strong.

 

For women, wedge or platform sandals move effortlessly from poolside lounging to evening cocktails, while an extra-long scarf serves as a chic wrap during the day and a refined cover up after sunset.

Evening Chic

Naples has a sophisticated dining and nightlife scene—more classic than the East Coast’s lively energy, but still full of personality and charm.

 

Lightweight layers—a sport coat, cardigan, or wrap—are smart for breezy Gulf evenings and cool indoor dining rooms.

 

For men, a dinner jacket or tailored shirt pairs well with something fun: Floridians love expressive cuff links, whether inspired by favorite teams, music, or hobbies.
