The Best of The Village Shops!

The people have voted, year after year, and The Village Shops has consistently taken home the gold for the best shopping and dining at Naples Daily News’ “Best of Naples” and “SWFL Choice Awards”! The Village has been and remained a favorite spot to Naples’ locals and tourists due to its many offerings of 40+ unique boutiques, six sparkling waterfront restaurants, exceptional services, and breathtaking views of the Venetian Bay. This Venetian inspired shopping center has been lovingly referred to as “Venetian Village”, “The Village on Venetian Bay”, and “The Jewel of Naples”, all representing the same unparalleled shopping and dining experience in Southwest Florida.

The Village Shops is the only location in Naples where you can enjoy panoramic waterfront views while strolling from shop to shop and even while browsing racks of upscale designer fashions inside the boutiques.
