Party of One: Solo in Paradise

Naples is one of the safest cities in the US, making it ideal for solo travelers. It’s not a "clubbing" city, but a place to disconnect, read, and dine well.

Day 1: Reconnect with Yourself

A quiet start.

Morning: Beach Read

Head to Vanderbilt Beach. Rent a chair. Read that book you’ve been ignoring.

Lunch: The Ritz-Carlton Beach Bar

Gumbo Limbo again. Sit at the bar. It’s the easiest place to chat with bartenders and other travelers.

Day 2: Group Activities

Be social without the pressure.

Morning: Manatee Eco-Tour

Join a group boat tour (like Double R's Manatee Tour). You share the boat with 15 others, making it easy to bond over seeing a manatee.

Evening: HobNob Kitchen

Eat at HobNob on 5th. Their bar scene is vibrant but sophisticated. Great craft cocktails and small plates perfect for one.

Day 3: Culture

Feed your mind.

Morning: Baker Museum

Art galleries are perfect for solo contemplation.

Afternoon: Mercato Blue Martini

If you do want to dance or meet people, Blue Martini at Mercato is the spot. Early evening is happy hour; late night is a party.
