NAPLES, Fla. (January 9, 2018) – The all-new LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, a Noble House Resort located on the idyllic Naples beachfront, is pleased to share “how we’ve transformed 50” with travelers and locals alike.  In celebration of the new year and the resort’s 50^th anniversary, Naples’ favorite beach retreat is thrilled to announce its $30 million property-wide renovation, along with new offerings for guests to experience the essence of LaPlaya Living.

“As we revel in our 50^th anniversary this year, LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort continues to showcase quintessential Floridian elegance while transforming ‘50’ with a modern spin inspiring adventure, wellness, and a fresh new perspective,” said Marco Perry, managing director of LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort.  “Since opening in 1968, LaPlaya has remained a top destination for travelers and locals seeking uncompromised accommodations, inspiring food options, luxurious spa services, challenging golf, and more.  We’re confident that this youthful rebirth will excite our existing guests and speak to travelers seeking fresh, new experiences within the heart of Naples.”

In 2016, the property completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of the Beach House, providing a soothing, modern space with an ocean-inspired color scheme, stylish furnishings, an updated climate control system and expanded balconies with stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico.  Additionally, this renovation included lush new tropical landscaping, chaise loungers and updated furniture for private cabanas at the pool area, new Precor cardio machines at the state-of-the-art fitness center, and a new morning coffee bar at the resort’s signature restaurant, BALEENnaples.

In late 2017, LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort completed an additional property-wide renovation.  Drawing inspiration from the natural elements surrounding the resort, the refresh included lavish new guest rooms in the Gulf Tower, a reinvigorated lobby, and a stunning new look for BALEENnaples.  In partnership with leading luxury hospitality and interior architecture and design firm, waldrop+nichols studio, the newly transformed lobby reflects Naples’ abundant flora and fauna with custom artwork and modern furnishings.  The award-winning BALEENnaples, known for toes-in-the-sand dining, reveals new finishes of textural wicker, natural cell stone and cerused oak paneling, along with a stunning four-foot wide sculpture reminiscent of a whale bone.  Featuring endless views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Tower now features oversized organic rugs, four poster beds with Floridian-patterned textiles, unique photography, a canvas oil art collection, and well-appointed bathrooms with new backlit vanity mirrors and silver trimmings.
