The Resort at Pelican Hill

The Resort at Pelican Hill is the most architecturally ambitious luxury resort in Southern California, a 504-acre Newport Coast property whose Italian Renaissance design language, circular pool that is one of the most photographed hotel amenities in the country, two Tom Fazio championship golf courses, and panoramic Pacific views have made it the most visually distinctive and aspirationally positioned resort address in Orange County since its 2008 opening. The property's scale, finish level, and price point place it in competition with The Resort at Pelican Hill's peer set nationally rather than just regionally, and the combination of the colonnaded pool, bungalow villas, and ocean view golf gives incentive programs a visual and experiential quality that is genuinely world-class. For planners whose groups require the most impressive and visually differentiated luxury resort product in Southern California, Pelican Hill has no peer in the Orange County market.
