Nestled at the southern tip of Naples, Florida, between the sparkling Gulf of America and the calm waters of Naples Bay, Port Royal stands as one of America’s most prestigious and private residential enclaves. As of July 2026, this ultra luxury neighborhood continues to captivate ultra-high-net-worth buyers, celebrities, and discerning homeowners seeking privacy, deep water yacht access, and an unmatched coastal lifestyle.

- Deep water canals and private docks — Nearly every home offers direct Gulf access for large yachts, fishing, kayaking, and boating without bridges or restrictions.
- Private beach access — Members enjoy pristine white sand beaches via the club, with unobstructed Gulf views and legendary sunsets.
