Corona del Mar

Enjoy upscale resort amenities steps from Corona del Mar’s iconic beaches, where oceanfront pools, spa treatments, and coastal dining capture the relaxed elegance of this beloved Newport Beach enclave.

VEA Newport Beach

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

Back Bay acres, golf par-3

The Hyatt Regency spreads low bungalow wings across 26 acres near the Back Bay, with three pools, a nine-hole par-3 course, and summer concerts on the lawn — the relaxed, retro side of Newport resort life near Corona del Mar.

03

Newport Coast

Enjoy direct access to scenic hiking trails and pristine beaches at Newport Coast resorts, where coastal elegance meets the natural beauty of Crystal Cove State Park.

The Resort at Pelican Hill

Golf-and-villa grandeur

Pelican Hill remains the region's definitive resort: 204 bungalows and 128 villas in Tuscan style, 36 ocean-view fairways, a spa with private courtyards, and the Coliseum Pool's postcard circle above the Pacific.

Marriott's Newport Coast Villas

Family villas over Crystal Cove

Above Crystal Cove State Beach, these villas run the family-resort playbook — multiple pools, barbecue terraces, full kitchens — with Laguna and Fashion Island each ten minutes away.

04

Lido Isle

Enjoy the relaxed elegance of Lido Isle resorts, offering harbor views and easy strolls to boutique shops and waterfront dining at charming Lido Marina Village.

Lido House, Autograph Collection

Boutique resort at Lido Village
