Naples Named One of the World’s Most Beautiful Towns by Condé Nast Traveler

Naples has long been known for its white-sand beaches, natural beauty and unmistakable Old Florida charm. Now, that appeal has earned international recognition.

Condé Nast Traveler recently named Naples one of “The 20 Most Beautiful Towns in the World,” placing the Paradise Coast destination alongside celebrated towns across Italy, Japan, England, Slovenia and beyond.

In its July 2026 feature, the publication highlighted Naples for its “powder-soft sands,” abundance of golf courses and enduring Old Florida character, while also pointing to its proximity to Marco Island, the Everglades, hidden beaches and natural preserves.

For those who know Naples well, the recognition reflects something that extends beyond its scenery.

A Lifestyle Shaped by the Water

Life in Naples has always had a natural connection to the outdoors. Days move easily between the Gulf, the beach, boating, dining and time spent with friends and family.

That relationship with the water is central to life at The Halcyon Residences & Marina, where 66 estate-scale residences are paired with a private 120-slip marina offering direct Gulf access.

Here, the Naples lifestyle begins at home. A morning on the water can start steps from your residence, followed by an afternoon at the pool, time on the pickleball or padel courts, or dinner downtown.

It is a way of living that feels distinctly Naples: relaxed, refined and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Close to the Naples You Already Love

The Halcyon is positioned within easy reach of many of the experiences that continue to make Naples such an enduring destination, from the restaurants and boutiques of 5th Ave S to the beaches, waterways and outdoor escapes that define Southwest Florida.

Yet life within the community is designed to offer its own sense of retreat.

More than 55,000 square feet of amenities at The Halcyon Club will bring together wellness, recreation and social spaces, complemented by concierge services designed to make both everyday living and time away feel beautifully considered.

It is an expression of barefoot luxury that feels particularly at home in Naples: elevated without being overdone, and centered on enjoying more of what brought you here in the first place.

A Global Recognition for a Singular Florida Destination

Being named among the world’s most beautiful towns places Naples in remarkable company, but its appeal has never depended on recognition alone.

It is found in mornings on the Gulf, evenings downtown, quiet stretches of shoreline and the ability to move through it all at your own pace.

At The Halcyon, that spirit shapes a new generation of lifestyle marina residences created for those who want to experience Naples not simply as a destination, but as home.
