PORT ROYAL – NAPLES, FL

WELCOME

Port Royal – Regal Luxury, Waterfront Elegance & Timeless Exclusivity

Port Royal is internationally renowned for its elegance, extraordinary estates, and unmatched waterfront setting. Considered one of the most luxurious residential communities in Southwest Florida — and arguably the world — Port Royal represents the pinnacle of coastal living.

Most residences sit directly on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples Bay, or along private deep‑water canals. The neighborhood stretches from Gordon Pass in the south to Aqualane Shores in the north, offering an exceptional collection of palatial estates, modern architectural masterpieces, and classic coastal homes — each with its own character and often with direct Gulf access.

History & Vision

The story of Port Royal began in 1938 with John Glen Sample, an advertising executive from Chicago who found in Naples the tranquility he could not find in Palm Beach. He purchased several parcels of land — then mostly mangroves and swamp — for a total of $54,000, laying the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most exclusive waterfront enclaves.

In the 1950s, lots sold for $7,500–$12,000, and model homes ranged from $22,000–$25,000. By the 1960s, prices rose to $15,000–$30,000 per lot and $55,000–$60,000 per home.

Today, Port Royal estates range from $5 million to over $65 million, with select properties surpassing the $100 million threshold.
A defining milestone was the record‑breaking $225 million sale in 2025 for three combined waterfront parcels on Gordon Drive — the highest residential sale in Florida’s history.

Port Royal Club – Rebuilding an Icon of Luxury

The Port Royal Club, one of the most exclusive private beach clubs in the world, was severely damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022. Members voted for a complete rebuild, and the new club — currently under construction — is expected to open in 2026.

The reimagined club will be a West‑Indies‑inspired architectural masterpiece featuring:

  • Beachfront dining & lounge spaces
  • Luxurious cabanas & resort‑style pools
  • Private beach access
  • State‑of‑the‑art fitness center
  • Tennis facilities & social events
  • Discreet, secure access control

Membership is reserved exclusively for Port Royal property owners — and not every lot is automatically eligible for application.
