Rural Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 8.8
 

The Resort at Pelican Hill, nestled across 504 acres along Newport Beach's Pacific coast, blends Italian Renaissance architecture with coastal serenity, offering a tranquil retreat where ocean panoramas and lush landscapes resonate with timeless charm.

The 332 bungalows and villas, including two- to four-bedroom options, feature air-conditioned spaces, flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, minibars, and spa-style bathrooms with premium toiletries. Private terraces open to Pacific or garden views, with select villas offering full kitchens and dining areas, creating a restful sanctuary for couples or families. The iconic Coliseum Pool, fitness centre, and free Wi-Fi ensure seamless relaxation and connectivity.

Five dining venues offer diverse flavours. Andrea serves Northern Italian cuisine with house-made sauces and ocean views, while Pelican Grill crafts steaks and wood-fired pizzas, paired with global whiskeys. The Coliseum Pool Grill provides poolside snacks and cocktails, accompanied by soft coastal melodies, fostering a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Five-Star spa offers massages and celebrated therapies, while a fitness centre and the 36-hole Pelican Hill Golf Club by Tom Fazio, with ocean vistas, keep energy high. A concierge arranges golf lessons or trips to Balboa Island, weaving in Newport Beach's vibrant coastal pulse.

Situated 15 minutes from Newport Center, 20 minutes from Balboa Island, 35 minutes from Disneyland, and 10 km from John Wayne Airport, The Resort at Pelican Hill offers free parking and easy access to California's coastal landmarks. This retreat harmonizes modern comfort with the lively rhythm of the Pacific's heart.
