"When the temperatures dropped below 50 degrees Fahrenheit this October in New York, I was jonesing for one last taste of summer. So I headed to the southern part of Florida, where the sun beams down on white-sand beaches and crystal-blue waters. During my five-day trip, I spent two nights in Naples, a city known for its luxury lifestyle. In just 48 hours, I was surprised six times."
"From the airplane window, the canals running through Naples, Florida, reminded me of Europe. I took a private plane from West Palm Beach to Naples. The coastal view from above amazed me, but the most surprising part was inland. Hundreds of miles of canals run through Naples and the surrounding areas. It reminded me of trips I've taken to European cities like Venice, Italy, and Amsterdam."
"I landed at the most luxurious airport I've ever seen. If I'd flown commercial, I never would have seen Naples Municipal Airport. Used for private jets and charter flights, the general aviation airport has no gates or TSA checkpoints. I spotted signs of luxury the moment I exited the plane. The exterior was thoughtfully landscaped, and I noticed a valet stand by the entrance."
A late-October escape from cold New York led to a five-day visit to southern Florida focused on Naples. A private flight from West Palm Beach revealed coastal vistas and hundreds of miles of inland canals that evoked European cities. Naples Municipal Airport serves private jets and charters, with no gates or TSA checkpoints and an interior resembling a high-end lounge with landscaped exteriors and valet service. Two Ritz-Carlton properties sit within a five-mile radius; the traveler stayed at the Tiburón golf resort, floated through a lazy river, and had access to amenities at both hotels.
