Fall Looks Different Here

Fall Looks Different Here: Your Guide to an Autumn Escape in Naples, Florida

While much of the country is getting ready for sweaters, falling leaves, and cooler days, fall in Naples, Florida, tells a completely different story.

Here, autumn means warm sunshine, waterfront afternoons, Gulf breezes, rooftop sunsets, outdoor dining, boating, and a chance to experience Southwest Florida before the height of winter season arrives.

Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, a Florida staycation, a family getaway, or simply looking for a reason to extend summer a little longer, fall is an incredible time to discover Naples.

 

And at The Perry Hotel Naples, your fall escape begins right on the water.

 

Discover Naples Before Peak Season Arrives

One of the best reasons to visit Naples during the fall is the opportunity to experience the destination at a more relaxed pace.

As summer transitions into season, Naples begins to come alive with dining experiences, live entertainment, arts and culture, outdoor activities, and seasonal events—without yet reaching the energy of the busiest winter months.

Spend the afternoon exploring Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South, browse boutiques and galleries, visit local attractions, discover North Naples, or simply leave the itinerary behind and see where the day takes you.

Fall gives you the freedom to experience Naples your way.

 

Beach Season Isn't Over in Naples

In Southwest Florida, beach season doesn't end when summer does.

Fall still brings plenty of opportunities for sunshine-filled days along the Gulf of Mexico. Nearby favorites such as Vanderbilt Beach, Barefoot Beach and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park offer beautiful stretches of coastline perfect for swimming, shelling, walking the beach, or simply relaxing by the water.

Guests of The Perry Hotel Naples can make their beach day even easier with our complimentary beach shuttle.

After a few hours along the Gulf, head back to The Perry for an afternoon beside one of our two resort-style pools before getting ready for sunset.

Because in Naples, fall isn't necessarily about saying goodbye to summer.

Sometimes, it's about extending it.

 

Experience Naples From the Water

There's another side of Naples waiting beyond the shoreline.

Fall is a wonderful time to experience Southwest Florida's waterways, where mangroves, native birds, dolphins, manatees, and beautiful coastal scenery create an entirely different perspective of the destination.

Spend the day on a sightseeing excursion, plan a fishing adventure, explore by kayak or paddleboard, or make a sunset cruise part of your getaway.

At The Perry Hotel Naples, the Cocohatchee River is right outside our doors.

With an on-site marina and direct dock access, guests can take advantage of water excursions without having to travel across town to begin the adventure.

Wake up overlooking the river. Spend the afternoon exploring it. Then return in time for sunset.

That's a fall itinerary we can get behind.

 

Fall Is Made for Outdoor Adventures

 As the season begins to change, Naples offers countless ways to spend more time outdoors.

Explore Southwest Florida's mangrove ecosystems, nature preserves, walking trails, and waterways. Birdwatchers can look for native and migratory species, while nature lovers can discover the unique landscapes that make this corner of Florida so special.

 Nearby attractions such as Naples Botanical Garden and Naples Zoo also make it easy to spend a day outside and are great additions to a family getaway.

Golfers have plenty to look forward to as well. Naples and the surrounding area are home to an impressive collection of golf courses, making fall an excellent time to add a round—or two—to your vacation itinerary.

 

Visiting in September? Sizzle Dining Is Waiting

 If your fall getaway brings you to Naples early, come hungry.

 Sizzle Dining Month returns throughout September, and Tigress Restaurant & Rooftop Bar at The Perry Hotel Naples is joining the celebration with a special three-course Sizzle Dining menu for $49 per person.

 Available only through September 30, it's the perfect opportunity to experience Tigress while taking advantage of one of Southwest Florida's favorite annual dining events.

Spend the afternoon by the pool or out on the water, return to The Perry for sunset, and make dinner at Tigress part of the evening.

Bold flavors, a beautiful setting, and three courses for $49—your September getaway just got more delicious.

Rooftop Season Has Arrived

There are sunsets—and then there are Naples sunsets. At The Perry, some of the best seats for the show are waiting upstairs. Head to Easy Tiger Rooftop Bar for cocktails, bites, and sweeping views as the sun begins to set over Southwest Florida.

For dinner, Tigress Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, a concept by acclaimed chef Dale Talde, brings bold flavors and an energetic dining experience to North Naples.

The Perry makes it easy to turn dinner into an entire evening: start with a cocktail, watch the sky change colors, stay for dinner, and let the night unfold.

 

No car required.

 

Arts, Culture and Live Music Return for the Season

Fall also signals the beginning of an exciting cultural season in Naples.

 Art galleries, outdoor markets, live performances, concerts, and special events begin filling the calendar again, giving visitors even more ways to experience the creative side of Southwest Florida.

At The Perry, creativity is part of the experience too.

This November, we are excited to welcome singer-songwriter Claudia Hoyser to The Perry as part of our new Artist in Residence programming.

Live music paired with a waterfront setting and a Naples evening creates exactly the kind of experience fall was made for.

 Keep an eye on The Perry's upcoming events calendar for additional programming, live entertainment, wellness experiences, and seasonal happenings throughout the fall.

 

Make Wellness Part of the Getaway

A Naples vacation doesn't have to mean abandoning your routine.

 Fall mornings are perfect for getting outside, whether that means walking the beach, exploring a nature trail, swimming, or starting the weekend with a wellness experience.

 The Perry's seasonal programming includes poolside yoga and Pilates experiences, bringing movement, sunshine, and our waterfront setting together.

Afterward, grab a coffee, head to the pool, or spend the rest of the day exploring Naples.

That's our kind of balance.

Plan a Florida Fall Staycation

You don't have to travel across the country to feel like you've escaped.

For Florida residents, fall is the perfect excuse to rediscover Naples with a staycation.

Check into a waterfront balcony room. Put away the laptop. Spend the afternoon by the pool. Head upstairs for sunset cocktails. Enjoy dinner at Tigress. Sleep in the next morning and start again.

 For couples, it's an easy romantic weekend.

For friends, it's a reason to finally plan that getaway.

For families, Naples offers beaches, boating, nature, shopping, dining, and attractions for every generation.

 

Sometimes the best vacation is closer than you think.

 

Two Pools. One Waterfront Escape.

 

Some fall days don't need an itinerary at all. The Perry Hotel Naples features two resort-style pools, giving guests plenty of opportunity to make doing absolutely nothing part of the plan.

 

Spend the afternoon relaxing poolside, grab lunch and drinks from Bodega Poolside Bar, or simply find your favorite spot and stay awhile.

When you're ready for a change of scenery, Naples' beaches, shopping, dining, and attractions are only minutes away.
