Welcome to Port Royal
An exclusive Naples neighborhood offering the best in luxury living
Located on the south end of Naples, Port Royal is one of Florida’s most exclusive neighborhoods, offering stunning, custom-built homes and the ultimate in luxury waterfront living. Although residents of this glamorous enclave are a far cry from the nefarious pirates from whom the community planners took their inspiration, the town is, in fact, named for Jamaica´s own Port Royal, a 17th-century pirate haven. Take a walk through this treasured Naples town and you’ll find a nod to those old-time marauders with street names like Galleon Drive, Rum Row, and Spyglass Lane.
It’s hard to believe that this coveted community was once considered a useless mangrove swamp. Retired advertising executive John Glen Sample began buying up the land in 1938, paying less than $14,000 for the entire spot. Residents, whether they live here full time or simply winter in this waterfront paradise, enjoy the pristine beaches, gourmet dining, upscale boutiques, and the best of everything. Homes tend to be new construction and offer luxe amenities and staggering beauty.
