The Resort at Pelican Hill

Perched on 504 coastal acres above the Pacific in Newport Coast, Newport Beach, this 5-Star luxury resort delivers big ocean energy and easy beach access. You're minutes from Crystal Cove Beach (about 1.1 mi) and a short drive to Fashion Island, with John Wayne Airport roughly 12 miles away. This is a family-friendly coastal escape with shopping, surf and scenic walks nearby.

Italian-inspired architecture frames oversized bungalows and two-, three- and four-bedroom villas tucked along terraced lanes. Rooms and villas feature private patios or terraces, fireplaces and modern media; many offer sweeping ocean panoramas. The estate mixes quiet privacy with standout moments — think a signature circular Coliseum Pool with tiered decks and cabanas, a Five-Star spa, and ocean-view golf set across dramatic fairways.

Recharge at the full-service spa, dip into multiple outdoor pools including the iconic Coliseum Pool, or tee off on a 36-hole championship golf club with near-constant ocean views. There are poolside bars, a coffee shop, concierge services, a complimentary beach shuttle and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and roam the grounds for strolls, yoga or a sun-soaked lounge session.

For meetings and events the resort offers conference and meeting facilities plus a business center. Additional services include limo/town car service, dry cleaning and laundry. Complimentary Wi‑Fi makes work on the go simple.

Dining ranges from authentic Northern Italian at Andrea to casual coastal fare at Pelican Grill and a coffee shop for snacks and espresso. Room service is available during limited hours and cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (fee applies). Expect seasonal California flavors alongside classic Italian dishes and poolside cocktails.
