“The real problem with leisure time is how to keep others from using yours.”
- Arthur Lacey
Solamar is a 20-story beachfront high rise containing comfortably elegant residences located in one of the best neighborhoods in the world – Park Shore. Park Shore in Naples - a luxury waterfront address nonpareil - is renowned worldwide as an enclave of very special residential luxury towers, artfully placed along award-winning beaches. Solamar rises gracefully along Gulf Shore Boulevard North, in a prized location. Across the street is the Venetian Bay Yacht Club North, where owners in Solamar have the opportunity to purchase or lease boat slips. Solamar keeps good company, neighboring Aria – the fabulous and new luxury tower which is the last high rise to be built along Park Shore. The venerable Villages at Venetian Bay, the home of luxury shopping and dining, are within a relaxed walking distance from Solamar.
The views, vistas and seascapes from the balconies of the residences in Solamar live up to the hype and mystique surrounding Park Shore. From sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico which defy description, to romantic views of Venetian Bay (including the fantastic bayfront estates along Devil’s Bight and Neopolitan Way), to the sparkling lights of Venetian Village, and the Naples skyline, Solamar is unquestionably a true “view building.”

One of the features that makes Park Shore exceptional, is the expansive park areas – exquisitely maintained and manicured.

Some stream of consciousness thoughts by the ImagineNaples.com waterfront team: Sure, there are turnkey residences within Solamar that have been recently remodeled. We can help you identify them quickly if that is your goal. However, many people have great fun using the stunning views in a building like  Solamar, and putting their own signature touches on their new apartments in the sky. From a dramatic reconfiguration or remodeling, to simply adding accent pieces, we would enjoy putting you in contact with highly respected artisans, contractors, and design professionals, as well as top local merchants – to make your vision for the space a reality. No detail is too small. For example, in Solamar, several of the units contain a “den,” perfect for a home office or library. If the perfect built in cabinetry is selected, but you want leather-bound books to complete the room, the proprietor at the Mellow Pages store of fine and rare books in nearby Bonita Springs, can work with you (or your design professional) to obtain a perfect match for what you need to complete the room. (In approximately the 1920's, the artwork that appeared on hardcovers was replaced by blank covers under the dust jacket, similar to today).
If you visit Mellow Pages (by personal appointment) and lose track of time perusing the collection there, and you realize you are hungry on the way home, why not do what the locals do, if your taste for the exotic runs beyond books? Sushi-Thai on U.S. 41 just south of Immokalee Road somehow pulls off a fusion of 2 very distinct cuisines. The menu is divided between the Thai and Japanese dishes, to make it easy to decide from among the  extensive menu. True Thai-food snobbery involves ordering every dish at traditional “Thai-heat” levels, a practice the author engages in. From “Tom Yum” soup, to sushi and sashimi, transport your taste buds to the other side of the world.
