Paraiso Beach Club: A New Private Beach Retreat Brewing in North Naples

  • Reading time:2 mins read

In North Naples, there’s been buzz about a sleek, members-only beach club called Paraiso Beach Club that could transform beachfront access and local vibes—if it gets the green light.

What’s Being Planned

The proposed site is a 1.35-acre stretch along Gulf Shore Drive, just north of LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort. Right now, it’s zoned for single-family residential use, which doesn’t allow commercial ventures. The plan is to rezone to match LaPlaya’s residential-tourist zoning and get a conditional use permit to allow the beach club work. 

If approved, Paraiso Beach Club would include:

  • A multistory clubhouse with restaurant and bar. 

  • A pool and direct beach access. 

  • Amenities like wellness, outdoor dining, and possibly events. 

  • Shuttle service for members to help reduce traffic. 

The developers are projecting an opening around mid-2027, assuming approvals go through. 

What’s at Stake / What People Think

Pros:

  • For residents, this could mean a more upscale, private spot to unwind, avoiding some of the congestion at more public beaches.

  • Potential for property values in the area to get a boost.

  • The developers are emphasizing blending with the surroundings and preserving the beach access and character. 

Concerns:

  • Hard to ignore are the issues around traffic, parking, and whether this private club will limit public access to the beach.

  • There’s also the zoning hurdle: changing a residential zone into a more commercial use always opens up debate. 

Where It Stands Now

The County’s Planning Commission has already given a thumbs up to the rezoning / conditional use petitions. 

Next up: the Collier County Commissioners will vote on it (last report was they were scheduled for an Oct. 14 meeting).
