Port Royal is the most prestigious and sought-after residential enclave in Naples, Florida, and one of the most elite waterfront communities in the United States. Defined by estate-scale properties, deep-water boating access, private Gulf-front amenities, and generational ownership, Port Royal represents the absolute pinnacle of coastal luxury living.
This is not simply a neighborhood — it is a legacy address, where location, lifestyle, privacy, and valuation converge at the highest possible level.
Community Type: Ultra-exclusive, non-gated waterfront enclave
Setting: Southernmost tip of Naples, bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and Naples Bay
Lifestyle Focus: Boating, beachfront living, privacy, refinement
Character: Quiet, powerful, understated, generational
Port Royal’s intentionally low density and estate-only composition create one of the highest barriers to entry and most defensible luxury markets in the country.
Port Royal occupies a truly irreplaceable coastal position in Southwest Florida.
Residents enjoy:
Gulf-front estates with direct private beach access
Deep-water canal and bay-front estates with yacht-ready docks
Wide navigable canals with minimal bridge restrictions
Immediate proximity to Old Naples, Fifth Avenue South, and private aviation access
Every home here is defined by waterfront orientation, frontage quality, and privacy, not by proximity to retail or amenities alone.
Port Royal consists almost entirely of custom single-family estate residences — the vast majority of which reflect exceptional architectural commitment and lifestyle scale.
Large estate lots, frequently exceeding one acre
Gulf-front, bay-front, and deep-water canal estates
Private docks and yacht-capable frontage
Resort-style pools, guest houses, and gated drive courts
New construction estates often exceeding 10,000–15,000 square feet
Pricing Overview
Interior or redevelopment-ready lots: ~$20M+
Bay-front and canal estates: $25M–$60M+
Gulf-front trophy properties: $60M–$100M+, depending on frontage and architectural presence
In Port Royal, value is driven by location and frontier economics, not by standard comparables.
A defining feature of Port Royal ownership is access to the Port Royal Club, recognized as one of the most refined of its kind along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Port Royal Club is undergoing a comprehensive architectural transformation that elevates the private beach club experience for members and residents. Designed to honor the neighborhood’s coastal legacy, the new clubhouse aims to blend tradition with modern comfort and social refinement.
To explore the full vision — including design, spaces, dining concepts, and amenity flow — reference the official Club Port Royal Clubhouse brochure here:

This brochure provides a deeper look at the architectural intent, spaces, and lifestyle offerings that distinguish Port Royal Club from other coastal clubs.
The new Port Royal Clubhouse is designed to be more than a facility — it is a destination and anchor for the beachfront lifestyle:
Expansive indoor and outdoor dining rooms with Gulf views
Elegant lounges and social spaces with layered seating environments
A seamless transition from arrival to beachfront gathering
Covered porte-cochère and thoughtful landscape framing
Dedicated pool and beach-level social spaces
The architectural language is intentionally timeless, coastal, and residential — not resort-like — supporting the quiet, refined identity of Port Royal.
The Port Royal Club will feature:
Multiple dining venues (casual beachfront to formal indoor)
Bars and lounges with curated beverage programming
Private dining rooms for intimate gatherings
Gathering lawns and beachfront terrace seating
Club amenities emphasize unrivaled seaside living:
Gulf-front pool with elevated seating and cabanas
Poolside dining and lounges
Direct access to a private stretch of beach
Shaded seating and lawn areas for social and family use
This holistic design ensures a beach club experience that rivals the finest globally, yet feels inherently Port Royal.
Port Royal is equally renowned for its deep-water boating lifestyle.
Wide navigable canals ideal for large yachts
Minimal bridge restrictions and quick Gulf access
Private docks integrated into estate property design
Boating capacity that supports both seasonal and permanent residents
For yachting and water-oriented families, Port Royal delivers true functionality, not symbolic access.
Port Royal continues to evolve at the highest level of residential architecture:
Older estates being replaced with modern coastal compounds
Design excellence that parallels global waterfront enclaves
Replacement costs and land scarcity reinforcing value floors
Seamless integration of indoor/outdoor living and Gulf panoramic sightlines
This architectural evolution ensures that Port Royal remains future-proof and globally relevant.
In a market where every transaction sets or reinforces market standards, representation matters.

Trusted advisory at the ultra-high-net-worth level

In Port Royal — where each home is unique and extraordinary — experience is essential.
