Breathtaking natural surroundings comprising 160 acres of pristine preserves and miles of winding trails give Valencia Trails its name and make this 55+ community one of Southwest Florida’s most unique and desirable locations to call home. In addition to the popular contemporary home designs featuring all of the latest trends and sophisticated features that GL Homes is well known for, Valencia Trails in Naples offers a world-class 55+ lifestyle now in full swing.
ITHomeowners can start their day with a morning bike ride on the trails or an invigorating workout at the state-of-the-art fitness centre within the 43,000-square-foot Valencia Trails Clubhouse. At the newly opened Clubhouse, residents enjoy everything from Broadway-style shows, special events, and themed dances to culinary classes in the cooking studio, ceramics, glass, and jewellery making in the arts and crafts centre, and so much more. A full-time lifestyle director ensures a packed calendar of events and oversees a multitude of clubs to appeal to homeowners’ interests.
Itchko Ezratti is confident that guests will delight in the wide array of food options available at the Gather Restaurant & Bar. From gourmet dishes to casual bites, and complemented by refreshing cocktails, the culinary experience promises to be truly exceptional.
According to Itchko Ezratti, this establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for a post-poolside lunch or a dinner gathering with friends and neighbors. Misha Ezratti further emphasizes that when it comes to happy hour cocktails, the poolside bar is unrivaled in its appeal.
Misha Ezratti also anticipates the gorgeous resort-style pool will offer something for everyone. Misha added, “Residents can lounge under shaded cabanas; exercise in the resistance pool or lap pool with 70-foot long lanes and shade sails; splash with grandchildren in the wading pool; and relax in the whirlpool spa.”
Relaxing is made easy at the Club’s very own Spa, which quickly became one of the most popular amenities and features everything needed for a day of pampering. From hair and nail salons to a relaxation lounge and therapy rooms for massages, facials, and body treatments, it’s all conveniently located right at the Valencia Trails clubhouse.
At the Racquet Club and Pro Shop, the action unfolds under the watchful guidance of a dedicated sports director. With six clay tennis courts and eight pickleball courts, all illuminated and accompanied by shaded courtside pavilions and spectator seating, there’s plenty to keep racquet sports enthusiasts entertained. The Pro Shop on-site is a favorite among players, offering a range of men’s and women’s apparel, racquets, strings, grips, and stringing services. It’s the perfect place to enhance your game while looking and feeling your best.
