Our stay at The Resort at Pelican Hill Newport Beach was an experience like no other. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to impeccable hospitality and service from the Exclusive Resorts concierge that made us feel welcome and relaxed throughout our stay.
With more than 500 acres of rolling hills, picturesque views, and endless amenities, Pelican Hill has become one of California’s premier vacation destinations located on the Southern California coast in Newport Beach. The resort is set atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and just minutes away from local attractions such as Laguna Beach and Fashion Island shopping center. It boasts two championship golf courses designed by renowned architect Tom Fazio, with stunning views of the ocean.
Pelican Hill is owned by TheIrvine Company, a privately held real estate investment company that owns and manages some of the most recognizable properties in Orange County, California. The property has a stunning Mediterranean-style architecture with breathtaking views of the ocean in every direction. From weddings and corporate retreats to family vacations or romantic getaways, there is something for everyone at Pelican Hill.
Accommodations at Pelican Hill are nothing short of extraordinary. Exclusive Resorts owns 5 three-bedroom villas. Each room is equipped with top-of-the-line amenities, including private balconies or terraces, marble bathrooms, signature luxury bedding, contemporary furnishings and state of the art technology.
We stayed in a three-bedroom villa that had its own private garage, full kitchen with stocked fridge, living room with fireplace, three marble bathrooms with soaking tubs, and a huge terrace with ocean view. It was so spacious. There was plenty of room for our whole family, and we felt right at home.
The resort also provided plenty of entertainment options to keep us busy during our stay. Besides golf, we relaxed in the full-service spa, road bikes along the Balboa Peninsula, and took the shuttle service to walk along the nearby beach and hiking trails of Crystal Cove Park.
There is also an array of dining options at Pelican Hill with two restaurants, cafes for snacks and room service. At the Coliseum Pool & Grill, we enjoyed a romantic dinner with locally sourced cuisine and watched the sunset. The bar served up craft cocktails right next to the largest circular pool.
Overall, our stay at The Resort at Pelican Hill Resort was an unforgettable experience made possible by Exclusive Resorts. We felt so well-rested and relaxed and will have long-lasting memories time spent with our family. From the degree of luxury and hospitality provided by their onsite concierge, who is dedicated to Exclusive Resorts members only, to the incredible amenities and activities available onsite, it was truly a one-of-a-kind getaway that we would recommend without hesitation.
