Naples is one of America's most luxurious small towns — Fifth Avenue shopping, the Ritz-Carlton beachfront, and an art scene that rivals larger cities. The drive from Tampa is 3 hours via I-75, and there's no better way to do it than in a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

The Tampa-to-Naples Drive

I-75 South is the most direct (3 hours). For a more scenic drive, take US-301 south through Palmetto, then west on the Sunshine Skyway across Tampa Bay (one of America's most photographed bridges), then south along the coast through Venice, Englewood, and Boca Grande to Naples. Adds 90 minutes but is unforgettable.

Must-Visit Attractions

  • Fifth Avenue South — Naples' luxury shopping and dining district.
  • Third Street South — boutique shopping, more local.
  • The Ritz-Carlton, Naples — beachfront luxury.
  • Naples Pier — sunset over the Gulf.
  • Marco Island — 20 minutes south, beautiful beaches.
  • Tigertail Beach — Marco's best beach.
  • Ferrari Roma — convertible drive down Fifth Avenue.
  • Lamborghini Huracán — Marco Island weekend.
  • Rolls-Royce Ghost — Ritz-Carlton arrival.
  • Bentley Continental GT — classic Naples luxury.
  • Porsche 911 Turbo S — the drive down I-75.

Where to Stay

Top picks: the Ritz-Carlton, Naples (the flagship), the Ritz-Carlton, Tiburón (golf resort), the Four Seasons Naples (private residences), the Naples Grande Beach Resort (family-friendly), and the Marco Beach Ocean Resort (Marco Island luxury).
