Naples’ New Era of Gulf-Front Living: Rosewood, Naples Beach Club & The Ritz-Carlton Residences
A curated look at how Naples’ flagship Gulf-front residences are redefining ultra-luxury beach living.
Naples is entering a rare moment in its history: three Gulf-front, branded residential offerings arriving within a few seasons of each other, each competing at the very top of the market for a small pool of serious, service-centric buyers. With limited coastline—and even more limited true beachfront development opportunities—Rosewood Residences Naples, Naples Beach Club Four Seasons, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences represent a generational reshaping of Gulf-front living.
The New Gulf-Front Skyline in Naples
For decades, Naples’ Gulf shoreline saw virtually no new ultra-luxury development. Height restrictions, scarce land, and a maturing built environment kept supply extremely tight. Today, a modern wave of architecture—glass-forward, hospitality-backed, and lifestyle-driven—is redefining the beachfront experience.
These three residences establish a new standard for privacy, service, and curated Gulf exposure, each with its own interpretation of what “best-in-class” means.
Rosewood Residences Naples – Boutique Beachfront with Hotel-Level Service
Rosewood brings a quiet, boutique interpretation of Gulf-front luxury. With fewer total residences than any competing project and a direct beachfront footprint, Rosewood emphasizes privacy, sanctuary, and meaningful service touchpoints inspired by its global hotel collection.
Key attributes include concierge-driven living, deeply covered terraces, gourmet kitchens, and wide-open Gulf panoramas.

Naples Beach Club Residences – A Four Seasons Village on the Gulf
Naples Beach Club combines the sophistication of a Four Seasons–branded resort village with the legacy charm of Old Naples beachfront living. With multiple residential offerings, village amenities, member experiences, restaurants, and a world-class hospitality team, it is the most expansive of the three projects.
Buyers prioritize the Four Seasons service culture, lifestyle programming, and multi-acre Gulf frontage that creates a true “resort home” environment.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples – Marina, Resort Amenities & Legacy Ownership

For many buyers, it offers the deepest amenity portfolio and a recognizable global service brand—ideal for multigenerational ownership.
