An excerpt from the New York Times:

From palatial to contemporary to luxuriously rustic, this collection of new resorts and inns offers spas, private gardens, fine restaurants and exquisite settings.

Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort:

With 220 rooms and suites, this 125-acre resort is built on the same plot of land where the Naples Beach Hotel & Gold Club once stood. The new hotel was designed by Hart Howerton, the architecture firm behind Montage Big Sky in Montana and Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, with interiors by Champalimaud Design, known for its work on the St. Regis New York and Raffles Singapore. The rooms are contemporary and calming, with pale colors — and all have balconies. Most of them have water views.

Head to the beach where at HB’s restaurant you can order seafood, including crudo and other selections from a raw bar. Or stop at the hotel’s Sunset Bar for tropical cocktails, ceviche and tacos. At the Merchant Room — a new brasserie from Gavin Kaysen, a James Beard Award winner — linger over steak, pasta and other American fare.

Beyond the beach, the Sanctuary Spa has three floors and numerous offerings, including an aquatherapy circuit where you can experience an aromatherapy steam room and step into a Finnish sauna. There’s also an outdoor lap pool, Pilates studio and fitness center designed by the celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. An 18-hole golf course is expected to open later this year. Prices go from $1,200 a night.
