If you're searching for luxury high-rise condos for sale in North Naples, Florida, chances are The Dunes of Naples has already made your short list. Tucked between Vanderbilt Drive and Turkey Bay, just steps from Vanderbilt Beach and the Gulf, The Dunes is one of Naples' most amenity-rich, gated communities — and one of the very few upscale, high-rise condominium communities in Naples that welcomes pets without size restrictions. Homes throughout the community range from approximately 1,900 to 3,700 square feet, with prices typically spanning $850,000 to $2,300,000. Whether you're relocating full-time, buying a seasonal retreat, or searching for a smart investment property, here's everything you need to know about The Dunes of Naples, its amenities, its real estate, and everything nearby.
Where Is The Dunes of Naples Located?
The Dunes of Naples sits at the corner of Vanderbilt Drive and Bluebill Avenue in North Naples, Florida 34110 — just north of Vanderbilt Beach and immediately south of Kalea Bay and Aqua. The community's main address, 310 Dunes Blvd., places residents on Florida's Paradise Coast with direct proximity to Turkey Bay, the Gulf, and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
This location is what real estate insiders often call “the best of both worlds”: far enough from the bustle of Fifth Avenue South to feel like a private coastal retreat, yet close enough to Naples' best shopping, dining, and entertainment to make errands and date nights effortless.
The Dunes Neighborhoods
The Dunes of Naples is made up of three distinct enclaves and seven luxury high-rise towers, plus a collection of coach homes:
• Grande Preserve – The four newest high-rise towers: Grande Dominica, Grande Excelsior, Grande Phoenician, and Grande Geneva, built between 2003 and 2007. Residences here range from roughly 2,700 to 3,700 square feet, most offering three bedrooms, private elevators, and sweeping Gulf and bay views.
• Island Cove – The original three high-rise towers, Antigua, Barbados, and Cayman, completed around 2001. These units tend to be more attainably priced entry points into The Dunes, starting around 1,900 square feet.
• Sea Grove – Forty low-rise coach homes built in 2001-2002, offering a different lifestyle for buyers who want single-level, villa-style living within the same gated community.
The Dunes is home to approximately 634 residents across forty luxury coach homes and seven luxury high-rise towers surrounding Turkey Bay.
Resort-Style Amenities at The Club at The Dunes
At the heart of the community is The Club at The Dunes, a recently renovated, roughly 25,000-square-foot amenities center managed by Troon that has become one of Southwest Florida's most talked-about clubhouses — it even received the Sand Dollar Award for Best Clubhouse. Here's what residents and members enjoy:
Dining. The Dunes offers multiple on-site dining venues, including the Royal Palm Room for more formal indoor dining, the Sandbar indoor/outdoor bar, the Terrace, and the poolside Tiki Bar, which is famous for its Friday night happy hour. Whether you want a casual panini poolside or a curated surf-and-turf dinner, there's an option to match the mood.
Resort-style pool and fire pits. The pool area underwent a multi-million-dollar expansion, now featuring zero-entry access, an expanded courtyard, fire pit lounge areas, and full food and beverage service.
Fitness and wellness. The fitness center includes a dedicated group exercise room, strength-training equipment, personal trainers, and areas set aside for massage and physical therapy.
Tennis and pickleball. The Dunes is consistently ranked among the most active tennis communities in Southwest Florida, with newly resurfaced Har-Tru tennis courts (completed in 2025) and newly added pickleball courts, all supported by on-site pros, clinics, and an in-house league. The tennis facility is officially named the John & Lisa Preeg Tennis Center in honor of the community's longtime pros.
Guest cottages and concierge. Six private guest cottages let visiting family and friends stay close without crowding a condo, and Grande Preserve residents have access to a private Concierge Center with a business center, conference room, and working kitchen for meetings and events.
The Floridian Beach Club: Private Access to Vanderbilt Beach
One of the most sought-after perks tied to select Dunes residences is membership in The Floridian Beach Club, a private stretch of Vanderbilt Beach located between LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort and the Ritz-Carlton, Naples. It's important to note that Floridian Club membership is not automatically included with every unit in The Dunes — eligibility is generally tied to ownership in one of the four Grande Preserve towers (Grande Dominica, Grande Excelsior, Grande Phoenician, and Grande Geneva), and access is typically conveyed as a separate, transferable membership when purchased from a seller who already holds it. Buyers should always confirm current Floridian Club eligibility and transfer terms with a luxury advisor from The Scott Hansen Group before assuming a specific unit includes it. Members enjoy a Gulf-front pool, beach chair and umbrella setup service, private dining, and a complimentary shuttle from The Dunes directly to the sand. From May 1 through November 1, Dunes residents also enjoy reciprocal privileges at more than 40 private clubs across Southwest Florida, many with championship golf courses.
What's Nearby: Shopping, Dining, and Entertainment
Location is everything in Naples real estate, and this is where The Dunes truly shines. Residents are just a short walk or drive from:
• Mercato – An open-air lifestyle center at the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Tamiami Trail North, packed with restaurants, boutiques, a Silverspot Cinema, live music, and nightlife. Many Dunes owners describe Mercato as a five- to ten-minute drive, and some coastal rentals nearby even market themselves as “walkable to Mercato.”
• Waterside Shops – Naples' premier open-air luxury shopping destination, home to Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermes, Gucci and a long list of designer boutiques, located just south along Tamiami Trail North.
• Artis—Naples – The area's premier performing arts center, home to the Naples Philharmonic, located minutes away for concerts, ballet, and visual art exhibitions.
• Downtown Naples / Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South – Naples' historic downtown shopping and dining district, known for sidewalk bistros, art galleries, and boutique storefronts, roughly a 15- to 20-minute drive south.
• LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort and The Ritz-Carlton, Naples – Both anchor the north end of Vanderbilt Beach, flanking The Floridian Beach Club and giving the area a five-star resort feel.
• Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park – One of Florida's most beautiful beaches, within walking or biking distance for shelling, kayaking, and sunset watching.
• Everyday conveniences – Multiple grocery options, including Trader Joe's and a Walmart Supercenter, sit within a few minutes' drive, along with pharmacies, banks, and casual restaurants along Vanderbilt Drive and Tamiami Trail North.
For travel, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers is the closest major airport, roughly a 30-minute drive from The Dunes' North Naples location, making it convenient for seasonal residents flying in and out throughout the year.
The Dunes Real Estate Market: What to Expect
Homes throughout The Dunes generally range from about 1,900 to 3,700 square feet under air, with prices typically running from $850,000 to $2,300,000 depending on the building, floor, view, and finishes. As of early September 2026, there are roughly 12 to 15 active Dunes condo listings on the market, with some fully renovated, high-floor Grande Phoenician units commanding premiums above that typical range. Average price per square foot across recent sales has trended above $650.
The Developer Behind The Dunes
The Dunes of Naples was developed by Soave Real Estate in partnership with NxTOne Advisors, the same team behind other acclaimed North Naples properties including Kalea Bay, Moraya Bay, and Regatta. Construction began in 1999, with Antigua and Barbados (the first Island Cove towers) breaking ground in 2000, followed by Cayman, the Amenities Center, and Sea Grove coach homes, then the four Grande Preserve towers between 2002 and 2006. The newest amenities center was completed in 2019.
