Pelican Bay, together with its ultra-exclusive gated enclave Bay Colony, represents one of the most comprehensive, refined, and irreplaceable luxury lifestyle environments in Naples, Florida. What truly separates Pelican Bay | Bay Colony from nearly every other community in Naples is its layered access to beachfront living, ranging from Pelican Bay’s expansive resident-only beach system to Bay Colony’s private, members-only beach club.
In Naples, true private beach clubs are exceptionally rare. Outside of Bay Colony, the only other golf community offering a private beach club is Mediterra, making Bay Colony’s beachfront privilege one of the most exclusive lifestyle advantages in the market.
Community Type: Master-planned coastal community with gated estate enclave
Premier Enclave: Bay Colony (guard-gated within Pelican Bay)
Lifestyle Focus: Private beaches, dining, recreation, golf, wellness, culture
Setting: North Naples, spanning Gulf frontage, Clam Bay estuary, and preserved landscapes
Pelican Bay offers resort-level amenities without resort congestion, while Bay Colony elevates the experience with estate-level privacy and exclusivity.
Pelican Bay is uniquely positioned to deliver luxury without isolation.
Residents enjoy:
Immediate proximity to Waterside Shops, Naples’ premier luxury retail and dining destination
