Marco Island, Florida, is where luxury meets nature in the most effortless way—warm Gulf breezes, powder‑soft beaches, and fiery sunsets set the tone for a winter escape that feels worlds away from the season. Just south of Naples on Florida’s stunning Southwest Coast, this island blends coastal‑resort polish with the charm of a laid‑back fishing village. Spend your days combing the beach for shells, golfing, joining oceanside yoga, kayaking through peaceful estuaries, or taking an eco‑tour into the famed Ten Thousand Islands, the largest and only developed island in this extraordinary natural chain.
When you’re ready to explore beyond the shoreline, Marco Island delivers: dine on fresh seafood, browse local art galleries and museums, and shop the island’s unique boutiques. Venture east to Collier‑Seminole State Park for hiking and access to the Blackwater River. Whether you’re craving relaxation, adventure, or a warm‑weather retreat, Marco Island offers a restorative getaway wrapped in sunshine and coastal beauty.
The largest of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands, Marco Island is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida. Travelers fly into the newly renovated Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, and in about 50 minutes, arrive at this incredible island paradise.
Come experience Paradise Redefined at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort, newly transformed by a $320 million reimagining. Set along three miles of private Gulf-front beach, this elevated escape offers global cuisine across 12 restaurants, two championship golf courses, a world-class spa, family-friendly activities, and sweeping Gulf views at every turn.
As the only inhabited island within Florida’s enchanting Everglades ecosystem, Marco Island is your gateway to the natural wonder of the Ten Thousand Islands. With its blue waters, white sands, and Balinese-inspired design, you’ll feel worlds away—no passport required.
Resort life unfolds at your pace. Drift between sparkling pools and pristine beaches, or dive into water sports and beach games. Golfers can step from the shoreline onto two private championship courses designed by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy. Located just 15 minutes away via resort shuttle, these 36 holes sit within an Audubon International Gold Certified Signature Sanctuary. Wellness seekers can stay energized in the fitness center, greet the day with yoga on the beach, push new limits in a boot camp session, or find calm through guided meditation and wellness classes.
When it’s time to unwind, the new Spa by JW invites you to relax fully with adult-only pools, serene lounges, a steam room, massage treatments, and a curated retail boutique.
Guest rooms feature either one king or two queen beds (based on availability), plus a balcony, mini-fridge, coffee/tea maker, safe, alarm clock, hair dryer, and additional thoughtful touches to ensure a comfortable stay.
JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort is located approximately 48 miles from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).
