NAPLES EXCLUSIVE WATERFRONT COMMUNITY ALONG GORDON DRIVE

Discover Port Royal: Uncover Extraordinary Real Estate

Whether it’s the oceanfront mansions with direct Gulf of Mexico beach access or the homes that line the many wide canals providing easy, bridge-free access to the ocean in minutes, Port Royal is all about life on the water.  Most homes provide boat docking accommodations right in your backyard, while marinas such as the Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club cater to those looking for full service.  This is a community designed from the ground up to be the ultimate haven for boating, named after the famous Jamaican Port that was home to pirates and lavish wealth in the 17th Century.

One of the most famous neighborhoods in Naples, Port Royal has grown to be a fabulous place to live among the elite. Many famous celebrities, including Tom Golisano, John Legere, Scott Kapnick, Richard Schulze, and Peter Gilgan, have homes in Port Royal.

What Makes Port Royal Stand Out

  • An exclusive neighborhood built for privacy. With unique neighborhood branding and its unique location, Port Royal deserves their most expensive neighborhood in the United States accolade by Robb Report in 2018.
  • Easy ocean access via Gordon Pass or Keewaydin Island, provides boaters their paradise…miles of area estuaries and mangroves become easily navigable which feeds the beautiful calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
  • The Port Royal Club and facilities. Certain Port Royal homes provide eligibility for membership of the ultra-exclusive Port Royal Club. With beachside dining, a vibrant tennis scene, state of the art fitness center, and a thriving calendar of year-round events, you will love the activities as much as the company.
  • Historical significance and old banyan trees frame picturesque exclusive homes along the famous Galleon Drive and Gordon Drive.  These trees have lived through the entirety of Port Royal’s life, and are a reminder of the history of this unmatched neighborhood.  In the 1950’s John Glen Sample wanted to create a hideaway for the wealthy, he promised to build the “finest place in the world to live,” adding “it can never be duplicated” which has proved true in many ways.

Dining, Shopping and Entertainment

For truly exclusive entertainment, dining, socializing and more, The Port Royal Club is restricted to homeowners in the community.  Old Naples offers Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South which are two iconic venues with impressive lists.  There are so many places to recommend and it’s hard to pick favorites but Ocean Prime and Sails Restaurant won’t disappoint.  And if venturing to 3rd Street South, try The Continental or Campiello, their outdoor setting and atmosphere give you the Southwest Florida lifestyle we all desire. For more dining information, visit our restaurant page.

Similar to downtown Naples dining, shopping at both Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are equally impressive.  Walking along both downtown streets, you will be drawn to unique boutiques, cute gift shops, and more.  And while you venture, there are plenty of pick-me-up local options we recommend trying; 5th Avenue Coffee Company, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, Divine Naples Coffee and Wine, and The Brick Coffee Bar all get my business frequently.

Sitting on the water, Port Royal is the doorway to an entire ocean of entertainment for boat lovers, but there’s more than just life on the water to be found here.  Away from the water, you can bask in the 170 acres of plants and parkland in the Naples Botanical Gardens, enjoy performances at The Gulfshore Playhouse or The Naples Players, or enjoy the plethora of artistic events by Naples Art District. Visit Naples Art Scene for more information.
