Postcards from The Village Shops
Whether you’re a Naples local or just landed in Paradise, every Village visit has a beautiful way of turning even the simplest plans into postcard-worthy moments.
Stop 1: A Cup of Coffee
Whether you’re starting your morning at home or fresh off a flight, every great day begins with coffee. Hurry and head over to Black Letter Coffee + Café where you can enjoy your coffee in the courtyard admiring the morning hustle, you can take it to the nearest waterfront bench and watch for dolphins, or you can take your cup of joe on the go to walk the paths along Gulf Shore Blvd. and Park Shore Dr. One great cup, three incredible ways to enjoy it.
Stop 2: Scenic Stroll
That coffee in hand is even better when paired with a scenic stroll! Along the way, admire the five striking sculptures by the late Raymond Lutgert – beloved developer of Park Shore, philanthropist, and talented sculptor. His work can be found throughout The Village Shops.
Stop 3: A Little Retail Therapy
Every Naples visitor (and let’s be honest, locals too) have three things on their mind: beach, shopping, and dining. If you’re browsing boutiques between beach days, we are here to confirm that Village shopping is unmatched due to one unbeatable detail: the Bay as your backdrop!
Stop 4: Lunch with a View
Whether it’s your first visit or your favorite routine, a waterfront table is a must. With six sparkling waterfront restaurants, every meal comes with a front-row seat to the Venetian Bay complete with dolphins, passing boats, and the signature Bay breeze!
Stop 5: Something Sweet
Vacation mode or just treating yourself, dessert is always a good idea. A stop at Ben & Jerry’s always gets fit into the itinerary. Their creamy ice cream piled high on a waffle cone makes the vacation instantly legen-dairy!
Stop 6: The Glow-Up
Regardless of whether you’re visiting or living here, you know the “Naples’ effect” – sun-kissed skin, salty beach hair, and an extra dose of Vitamin D. Why not take it a step further and glow from head to toe with a visit to our salons and spas?
Stop 7: The Green Light to Dine
Dinner at The Village is where the day winds down, but the experience turns up! Think incredible entrees, waterfront ambiance, and those signature glowing green lights in the Bay!
High-end shopping, white sandy beaches, art, culture, and sunshine…Naples truly has it all! Whether you’re a local or just visiting, every trip exudes the same “Welcome to Paradise” feeling and The Village Shops on Venetian Bay is proud to be a part it! See you soon!
