“We Knew it All Along” Naples…one of the most beautiful towns in the WORLD!

Naples, Florida: Officially One of the Most Beautiful Towns in the World

There are some things you simply cannot explain about Naples, Florida until you experience them for yourself.

Sunsets on the Gulf that are different and glorious every night…
The soft white sand beneath your feet.
Palm trees and flowering trees lining our streets.
The charm and sophistication of Olde Naples.
The scent of star jasmine in the evening air.

And that unmistakable feeling that life somehow moves a little more beautifully here.

Now, Condé Nast Traveler has put it into words.

In its July 2026 feature, “The 20 Most Beautiful Towns in the World for Every Type of Traveler,” the internationally recognized travel publication named Naples, Florida, one of the 20 most beautiful towns in the world. *Naples was the only U.S. town featured on the list!

And honestly? We couldn’t agree more.

What makes Naples so beautiful?

Condé Nast Traveler highlighted exactly what so many of us love about Naples: our powder-soft beaches, world-class golf, Old Florida charm and extraordinary natural surroundings.

Naples sits along Florida’s Paradise Coast, with easy access to Marco Island and the Everglades. Naples is literally bordered on three sides by nature…a remarkable backdrop to everyday life. But I believe the beauty of Naples goes far beyond what you see in a photograph. It’s the lifestyle. It’s having coffee downtown and then strolling along Fifth Avenue South. It’s an afternoon at the Naples Botanical Garden or lunch at any number of amazing restaurants with friends. It’s a round of golf, a boat ride into the Gulf or watching the sun disappear over the water. It’s the combination of natural beauty and elegance that makes Naples so special.

You can spend the morning barefoot on the beach and the evening enjoying an exceptional dinner. You can live in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by lush landscaping and still be minutes from the energy of downtown. And perhaps most importantly, Naples has managed to create something that is increasingly difficult to find: a beautiful place that still feels like a community.

Beauty is one thing. Living beautifully is another.

As a Naples real estate professional, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all over the world discover what makes this place so special. Many arrive looking for a second home or an investment. Others are searching for a place to retire. Some are relocating because they want more sunshine, more outdoor living and a different pace of life. And then there are those who simply visit Naples and realize, “I could live here.” You see, that’s the magic…because Naples isn’t just somewhere beautiful to visit. It’s somewhere beautiful to live!

Condé Nast Traveler’s recognition is wonderful confirmation of what residents have known for generations: Naples is a very special corner of the world. If you’ve ever watched a Naples sunset, walked our beaches at sunrise or taken a quiet drive through some of our breathtaking neighborhoods, you probably didn’t need a magazine to tell you. Yes, we knew it all along!
