Two Dominant UHNW Family Markets
Palm Beach (PBI corridor, Worth Avenue, Mar-a-Lago neighborhood) and Naples (Port Royal, Park Shore, Pelican Bay) concentrate U.S. UHNW residence, family-office presence, and seasonal corporate volume.
Airports
Palm Beach International (PBI) and Naples Municipal (APF) both serve principal traffic. Private aviation routes through PBI and APF FBOs (Signature, Jet Aviation, Naples Jet Center).
- PBI handles surges cleanly with multiple FBO operators.
- APF is the executive default for Naples with rapid Port Royal integration.
Hotel Districts
Palm Beach concentration is The Breakers, Four Seasons, Brazilian Court, and Eau Palm Beach. Naples concentration is Ritz-Carlton (Beach & Tiburón), Naples Beach Hotel, and Inn on Fifth.
- Oceanfront properties require deliberate arrival choreography.
- Worth Avenue and Fifth Avenue South watch-display posture matters.
- Seasonal compression (December–April) is significant.
Ground Transportation
Vetted drivers and matched vehicles are the standard. I-95 and US-41 corridor compression is severe during peak season; route planning matters.
The 2026 Threat Picture
For visiting principals, Palm Beach and Naples in 2026 are moderate markets with three planning priorities:
- UHNW residential targeting — package theft, distraction crime, residential intrusion patterns.
- Seasonal-compression congestion across hotels, restaurants, and ground.
- Hurricane-season contingency planning (June–November).
