Welcome to Aqualane / Port Royal

Interwoven with glistening waterways that travel out into the Gulf, the exclusive neighborhoods of Aqualane Shores and Port Royal harbor some of the most enviable real estate in the world. Elegance embodied, both Aqualane and Port Royal reflect the effortless, tropical glamor of Naples in their every feature — from the lush, verdant landscaping to the towering mansions and refined community gatherings.
Aqualane and Port Royale rest side-by-side in the southernmost portion of Naples, home to deep water channels and alluring coves. Well-established, both communities were developed in tandem with the city itself in the late 1930s and have since earned a reputation for incredible prestige and highly sought-after homes.
When it comes to show-stopping residential real estate, few places around the globe have a collection up to par with Aqualane and Port Royale.

Multimillion-dollar properties are the standard, each outfitted with the finest luxury accouterments and often primed with private docks. While the architectural styles of newer homes might reflect a more modern aesthetic, every estate is a palatial work of art.
