Treat your clients to the finest of everything by suggesting Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades for their next vacation. Easy to get to from virtually anywhere — but hard to forget once you’ve been here — Florida’s Paradise Coast is truly a destination unlike anywhere else.
Your clients will discover 30 miles of white-sand beaches, world-class fine dining, top-tier spas, championship golf courses and a vibrant arts and culture scene. For those who like a little adventure on their itinerary, it’s only a short drive to the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the gateway to the Everglades!
Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades is a place where the luxe life meets wildlife — making it a one-of-a-kind getaway you can feel confident about recommending. Visitors can expect near-perfect weather, beautiful open-air spaces, a tropical ambiance and access to countless activities that deliver relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
Let’s take a quick look at how one destination can offer a wide range of experiences that appeal to even the most discerning of travelers.
Naples: A Taste of Luxury
Naples provides your clients with the best of both worlds on their vacation: a walkable downtown paired with a tropical paradise. Stroll the palm-lined streets of 5th Avenue South and Third Street South, where you’ll find upscale boutiques, art galleries and restaurants owned by celebrated chefs. Considered a culinary mecca, you can enjoy everything from fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood to international fusion cuisine here.
Golfers can tee off at famous courses designed by the likes of Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus, while art lovers won't want to miss Artis—Naples, home to The Baker Museum and the Naples Philharmonic. For those looking for wellness experiences, Naples features an array of luxury spas and unique offerings, such as halotherapy in salt caves and guided forest bathing.
Marco Island: A Unique Beachfront Paradise
Just 15 miles south of Naples, Marco Island — the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands — is a must-visit destination for beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Spots like Tigertail Beach and South Marco Beach are perfect for relaxing, collecting seashells and catching incredible sunsets. Of course, Marco Island is also home to its fair share of eco-adventures: launch a kayak from Caxambas Park & Marina or Capri Paddlecraft Park, take an eco-tour to see dolphins and manatees or explore the nearby Ten Thousand Islands.
After a day spent out on the water, your clients can return to their beachfront resorts, where they can pamper themselves at a full-service spa before heading out to dinner. Thanks to Marco Island’s location along the Gulf of America, fresh seafood is a staple here, with waterfront restaurants serving everything from casual bites to upscale dining experiences.
The Everglades: Florida’s Last Frontier
For clients who love the outdoors, they can easily make their way to the Everglades, just a short drive from downtown Naples. From airboat rides to kayaking tours led by naturalists and ranger-guided swamp walks, there’s no shortage of ways to explore here! And for any anglers on your client list, the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge offers some of the world’s best fishing. Speaking of fresh catches, did you know that Everglades City is the official Stone Crab Capital of the World? In fact, if your clients are a fan of seafood, make sure to book their trip between October 15th and May 1st, when they can sample sweet, succulent stone crab claws — a local delicacy.
