The Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort opened in November following a full reimagining of the 125-acre property.
Where the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club once stood, the new resort marks Four Seasons’ first Gulf Coast presence and restores public access to 1,000 feet of beachfront long familiar to locals.
Gulfshore Life was the first on site for an editorial photoshoot. For our January 2026 cover, the team spent a day moving through the property. From HB’s restaurant and Sunset Bar to the pecky cypress–crowned lobby to the guest room terraces overlooking the water, each setting offered a distinct mood to get us in the spirit of winter on the Gulf.
Here, we share the cover shots and the other frames in close contention.
