Set above the Pacific in Newport Coast, The Resort at Pelican Hill is arranged like a Tuscan-inspired coastal estate, with bungalows, villas, gardens and broad ocean views spread across a generous hillside setting. The architecture uses colonnades, terracotta tones and open-air spaces to create a distinctly Californian resort atmosphere, while the accommodation feels residential in scale. Golf is central to the property, with two courses overlooking the coast, and the circular Coliseum Pool remains one of its signature spaces. Dining, spa and villa experiences add to the sense of space, making the resort feel expansive rather than densely built.
