Naples Grande Resort

Welcome to Naples, Florida — a sun-drenched coastal paradise founded in 1886 by none other than former Confederate General and Kentucky Senator John Stewart Williams, along with his newspaper mogul pal Walter Haldeman of the Louisville Courier-Journal. These two visionaries looked at the white-sand beaches, the glittering Gulf, and the endless natural beauty and thought, Yep—this could be the next Naples, Italy.
Spoiler alert: they were onto something.

Flash forward to 1988, and a new chapter began when The Registry Resort opened its doors—today known as the stunning Naples Grande Beach Resort. Perched on 23 acres of tropical paradise, this is not just a place to stay. It’s a place to connect, collaborate, and completely reset the meeting experience.

We’re talking championship golf, a world-class spa, a legendary beach, and one of the most prestigious tennis academies in the country. But it doesn’t stop at the property line—because Naples is an outdoor lover’s dream. Want to build your team spirit on a catamaran cruise at sunset? Done. Bond over a swamp buggy ride through the Everglades? You got it. Prefer eco-kayaking tours, dolphin watching, or a full-on fishing charter? It’s all at your fingertips.

Let’s not forget: Naples is one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S., and that means a high bar for luxury, service, and experiences. Think of it as a playground for upscale adventurers, where your group can enjoy top-tier dining, high-end shopping, fascinating museums, and even water shuttles that make getting around part of the fun.

Now, let’s address the elephant—or should we say, the Ritz—in the room. Sure, there are a couple of Ritz-Carltons nearby, and Marriott’s Marco Island is a contender too. But here’s the difference:

Naples Grande delivers luxury without the pretense, service without the stiffness, and a vibe that’s elevated but still fun. It’s more flexible, more approachable, and more customizable—ideal for planners who want a fresh take on meetings and incentives.

Whether you’re organizing a corporate retreat, a high-impact board meeting, or a creative team-building getaway, Naples Grande gives you room to breathe, explore, and think big. You’ll find fully equipped meeting spaces, sweeping Gulf views, and endless options for adding local flair to your agenda.

So, if you’re ready to ditch the cookie-cutter ballroom circuit and host your next meeting where productivity meets paradise, it’s time to go Grande.

Naples Grande Beach Resort — where the only thing more impressive than the view is what your team will accomplish while they’re here.
