Naples, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2016 -- For many Americans, retirement represents the Golden Years of life – a time when expenses are taken care of, children are grown, and grandkids are running amok. With the working days in the rear view mirror, retirees are free to explore the world, pursue hobbies, or simply spend more time with their families. One of the best places to soak in the sunshine and enjoy the blissful days of retired life is at Mediterra. At the esteemed Southwest Florida community, members are free to enjoy some of the best luxuries in life: fine dining, fantastic Tom Faxio golf courses, a top-rated Tennis Program, popular Bocce Leagues, Fitness, Spa and beautiful beaches – all in traditional Mediterranean style. Most recently, the popular Club at Mediterra was again recognized by Best Retirement Destinations. The Naples community was rated No. 10 on the website's January 2016 Top 30 Retirement Communities Worldwide, receiving excellent scores for residential options, visual appeal and recreational activities. It was also the No. 1 Best Retirement Community in Florida.

Mediterra doesn't stop there. While an ideal retirement community, Mediterra's age group is among the youngest in Southwest Florida and offers an array of lifestyle amenities for young families, busy professionals and those in semi-retirement as well, including The Club at Mediterra, featuring 36 holes of golf, and the private 10,000-square-foot Beach Club on the Gulf of Mexico, featuring an elevated swimming pool, casual dining with a full bar and valet service for beach chairs, umbrellas and beverage and food menus. The living community features single-family estate homes and single-family maintenance-free villas.

Best Retirement Destinations annually evaluates the best communities for retirees by reviewing community amenities, aesthetics, recreational and social opportunities & security. Since its inception in 2008, it has put retirement communities across the country through a rigorous evaluation process to help retirees make an informed choice about the best retirement community to suit their needs.

"To be recognized once by a respected independent evaluator like Best Retirement Destinations is a huge honor, but to be given that recognition for a consecutive year speaks volumes about the livelihood of the retirees here at Mediterra," expressed Max Passino, Director of Marketing & Membership at The Club at Mediterra. She continued, saying "We are humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as communities in other beautiful locales such as Dubai, London, and the Cayman Islands, and this achievement only inspires us to continue to meet the needs of our members to the best of our abilities."
