In the rolling hills of Newport, California lies The Resort at Pelican Hill. If you are looking to travel somewhere domestically, since out-of-country traveling has become increasingly difficult at present, Newport Beach is the perfect American destination, as it captures the exotic feeling of a large-scale beach vacation. Pelican Hill is seated in an ideal spot between Newport and Laguna Beach. One of the great perks of this SoCal location is access to a large variety of activities right beyond the hotel. About a mile away is Crystal Cove State Park, which has around five miles of running, hiking and biking trails along the waterfront, as well as access to many beaches including the famous Crystal Cove itself. This perfect place for a beach day has some of the most incredible sunset views, as well as Beachcombers, its own delicious restaurant. Further south from the hotel is Laguna Beach, which has many incredible beaches of its own and offers great surfing, a charming town and an incredible canyon backdrop.
Although its surroundings are amazing, the hotel features its own top-flight activities right on the property, including one of the nation’s most renowned golf courses. The Pelican Hill Golf Club offers 36 pristine holes, a private practice facility and fantastic ocean views. If golf isn’t your thing, there is much more to do on the property, including enjoying the amazing weather while swimming in one of the world’s largest circular pools, which overlooks the Pacific.
Arguably the most breathtaking aspect of Pelican Hill is indeed its views. From nearly every part of the property, you are able look out over the stunning hills to the beaches and the ocean. These views are unique to the property and provide a tropical vibe to your stay. In addition to the gorgeous surroundings, The Resort at Pelican Hill features beautiful architecture and interiors. The hotel does not stray from its California roots, featuring classic Spanish and Mediterranean styles that fit perfectly into its environment. Whether you are looking for adventure, a rejuvenating sojourn in the California sun or just a great hotel in SoCal, The Resort at Pelican Hill is the place for you.
