A house on the beach in Naples has always come with a house’s worth of responsibility, from the gardens and the staff to the question of who looks after it all while you are away. Olana Naples, which has just broken ground on Gulf Shore Boulevard North, is designed to remove that trade-off, giving each of its 12 residences the proportions of a private estate and the service of a resort.
Twelve is a deliberately small number in a state where a single new tower such as Mandarin Oriental Residences West Palm Beach can hold 87 homes. Each five- or six-bedroom residence offers more than 10,000 square feet (around 930 square metres) of living space indoors and out, laid out across a full floor with a private lift, generous ceiling heights, terraces facing the Gulf and 80 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass.
Inside the residences at Olana Naples
The two Beachfront Villas rank among the biggest homes at Olana, each with five bedrooms, more than 11,500 square feet (about 1,070 square metres) and a pool and terraces of their own looking out to the water. Throughout the building, much of what would normally sit on a shared amenity floor has been brought inside the home instead, so every residence has its own wellness suite with a gym, cold plunge, sauna and steam room, as well as a cinema, a temperature-controlled wine room, a clubroom, and a presentation kitchen for entertaining with a separate chef’s kitchen alongside.
The interiors are by the studio behind The Carlyle in New York, The Dorchester in London and Raffles Singapore, while the building itself has been conceived as a private enclave wrapped in tropical gardens, with paths leading through the planting to the beach.
Resort-style service on call
Shared spaces are kept intentionally few, with a Gulf-facing pool and spa run in the manner of a resort, private cabanas, direct access to the sand and a lobby lounge that opens onto an outdoor terrace. Where Olana Naples goes further is in the service, with a concierge and valet team on hand around the clock and a menu of extras that runs from private chefs and in-residence dining to housekeeping, a home readied before each arrival, private transport and yacht charters.
“Olana offers buyers the space and privacy of a single-family beachfront estate, paired with five-star services and the convenience of a lock-and-leave lifestyle,” said Budge Huskey, CEO of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, which is leading sales. “This combination is particularly appealing to today’s highly mobile luxury buyers who want the freedom to travel without compromising the comforts of home.”
Life on Naples’ Miracle Mile
The address, 1121 Gulf Shore Boulevard North, places Olana on the Miracle Mile, the 1.3-mile (2.1-kilometre) run of beachfront heading south from Doctors Pass, within easy reach of the restaurants and boutiques of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South in downtown Naples. Golf, galleries and cultural venues are close at hand, and the same boulevard is home to Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort, which opened in November 2025. White sand beaches and an unhurried pace make the town a calmer counterpoint to Florida’s bigger cities, and it is exactly that quality the developers are banking on.
“Naples has long attracted buyers who value privacy, space and a more understated view of luxury,” said Brian Van Slyke, President of Kolter Urban, which is developing Olana with BH Group. “With just 12 residences, Olana offers something increasingly difficult to find: the scale and independence of a private estate, complemented by world-class design and personalized service.”
Residences at Olana Naples are priced from $32 million. For buyers who want the Gulf on their doorstep and someone else to take care of everything around it, few new addresses in Florida make the case quite so convincingly.
