Booking via Expedia
The Ritz-Carlton occupies a stretch of Vanderbilt Beach on the northern edge of Naples, roughly ten minutes by car from Tiburon Golf Club's two Greg Norman courses.
The property
AAA Five Diamond rated, one of a small number in Southwest Florida to hold the rating. 450 rooms, multiple dining venues, and a 51,000-square-foot spa that runs on the scale of a full-day operation: treatment rooms, fitness facilities, and Gulf-facing relaxation areas. Two heated pools, direct beach access, and a kids programme round it out.
What to expect
The spa is the standout amenity and the primary reason the property suits travelling groups that include non-golfers. For golfers finishing a week of walking Tiburon Black and Tiburon Gold in Florida heat, the recovery infrastructure here is a practical consideration rather than a luxury. Tiburon Gold hosts the PGA Tour's QBE Shootout and the LPGA's CME Group Tour Championship.
Vanderbilt Beach Road keeps you in a quieter section of Naples, north of the Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South restaurant corridors, which are a fifteen-minute drive. Dining options on-site cover the full range from casual poolside service to formal evening rooms, so you can stay put on rest days.
Rates and booking
$500 to over $1,000 nightly during peak season, with off-peak summer rates dropping to the $300 to $600 range. Marriott Bonvoy members earn and redeem points. For groups where the non-golf experience carries equal weight to the rounds, the spa, beach, and service standard justify the premium over the area's strong four-star alternatives.
