Naples is known for its light … that singular coastal shimmer that reflects off the Gulf and lends the city its effortless allure. But just inland from the sugar-white sands of Vanderbilt Beach, a new dimension of refinement is quietly reshaping the horizon. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples – the first standalone Ritz-Carlton-branded residences in the area – is not a hotel, but a wholly private residential experience – and something even more rarefied: a fully serviced lifestyle where hospitality and home are seamlessly intertwined.
Slated to open in Q2 of next year, the project has already become one of Southwest Florida’s most closely watched luxury residential offerings. Five penthouses have sold in under a year, underscoring the discerning interest it continues to draw from buyers seeking something truly exceptional.
Today, a curated collection of residences remains – each distinct in its offering. For those seeking a streamlined move-in, a selection of fully finished homes is available. For those pursuing the pinnacle of luxury, a trio of designer turnkey Grand Penthouses – among the most elevated in the region – presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own at this level before the community is fully spoken for.
Developed by STOCK Residences, the luxury condominium division of Naples-based, award-winning STOCK Development, the property comprises just 128 estate-style homes. Boutique in scale, yet expansive in amenity and intent, it offers an elegant, residential interpretation of resort living…one where five-star service becomes a daily rhythm, not a vacation exception.
Living the Experience, Daily
Morning begins slowly here. As soft light filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows, residents ease into the day – coffee in hand on their private terrace, ocean breezes drifting in as they take in views of the Gulf of Mexico, Vanderbilt Lagoon, or the tranquil, postcard-worthy surroundings.
There’s no rush…just a calm, effortless luxury that shapes the tone of the day.
Inside, the residences are built around air, light, and openness. Vaulted ceilings (10 to 12 feet), expansive terraces, and clean, modern finishes – think Cambria quartz countertops, wide-plank wood and porcelain flooring, and sleek European cabinetry – all speak to a quiet confidence in design. The palette is timeless, artfully understated, and focused on atmosphere, not ostentation.
But what truly sets life here apart isn’t just the architecture…it’s the service that wraps around each moment.
Where service lives
At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples, a full-time concierge team is ready to assist – from securing dinner reservations and arranging private car service to coordinating in-residence dining or handling the logistics of a weekend getaway. It’s the kind of seamless, anticipatory service typically found in the world’s finest hotels…only here, it’s part of everyday life.
Need a package delivered or a wine fridge restocked? It happens in the background. Hosting guests for the season? The staff can make sure everything is ready before arrival. It’s service that’s invisible when it should be, and present exactly when you need it.
An extension of home: The Vanderbilt Club
Life extends beyond the walls of the residence itself. The Vanderbilt Club, a 28,000-square-foot private clubhouse, acts as both a retreat and a vibrant hub. A typical afternoon might include a casual lunch at the club’s private restaurant, followed by a few hours working from the business center or relaxing in the spa.
Parents may stop by the kids’ or teen club, complete with a Formula 1® simulator, while others take in a film in the private theater, or enjoy an evening game in the golf simulator lounge. It’s a space designed to meet every resident’s pace – whether winding down or engaging fully.
The outdoors, elevated
The outdoor amenities extend the lifestyle even further, with over 22,000 square feet of coastal experiences. Residents can move through the day from the resort-style pools and cabana suites, to an evening around the fire pits, or a sunset stroll along the private marina and walking trails.
The entire landscape – envisioned by Booth Design Group – invites connection with the environment. A putting green, shaded pavilions, and lush native plantings all contribute to a sense of ease and immersion.
And just minutes from their threshold, owners can have their toes in the sand of Vanderbilt Beach, one of Naples’ most iconic shorelines. It’s this effortless access to both elevated living and the natural coastline that makes The Residences truly singular.
Designed for a world-class standard
The team behind The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples represents the pinnacle of luxury design. Cristian Pinedo of SUSURRUS led the interiors, bringing a global perspective shaped by projects in New York, Kyoto, and beyond. Marc-Michaels Interior Design refined spatial flow and finish selections, while Curts Gaines Hall Jones (CGHJ) oversaw architectural planning. Construction is led by Suffolk with infrastructure by J.R. Evans Engineering, all ensuring the highest standards from concept to completion.
A Rare Opportunity
Between the two existing Ritz-Carlton hotels in Naples – each only minutes away – this newest offering reflects the evolution of the brand’s legacy: more personal, more intimate, and fully residential.
To preview the residences, a dedicated sales gallery at 2355 Vanderbilt Beach Rd., Suite 106, offers full sensory immersion, including model rooms and a scale-model of the property. The gallery doesn’t just show the finishes, it captures the pace, warmth, and refinement of life at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples.
In a place where natural beauty has long drawn admirers, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples brings something even more extraordinary: a chance to live fully, luxuriously – and effortlessly – every single day.
