A stylish beach resort on Vanderbilt Beach, home of Baleen restaurant.

Golf on the estate: 18 holes, as the hotel’s own website states.

Golf from here

LaPlaya is a beachfront resort at Vanderbilt Beach, with rooms and suites facing the Gulf, a spa, pools, its own golf course a short drive inland and Baleen, one of Naples’ favourite sunset restaurants. The style is relaxed luxury, and the location, at the quieter northern end of Vanderbilt Beach, is lovely for long beach walks. It suits couples and golfers. Book a Gulf-view room for the full effect, and reserve Baleen for sunset before you arrive.
