Friday – Arrival & Coastal Welcome
Check into The Resort at Pelican Hill
Enjoy a spacious ocean-view bungalow or villa with a private terrace for your elevated weekend experience. As you step into the property, you’ll understand why this was made for luxury travel. Toast your arrival with a glass of champagne on your balcony.
Dinner at 21 Oceanfront Restaurant
21 Oceanfront Restaurant is the epitome of high-end. With a wide variety of fresh seafood and prime meats, you are sure to find a dish that you’ll love. To add to your dining experience, their fine selection from their private wine cellar with worldwide selections will elevate your experience further.
Saturday – Spa, Shopping & Harbor Luxury
Spa & Breakfast
Start the day by treating yourself with a spa day at The Spa at Pelican Hill. A massage or body treatment inspired by coastal botanicals is sure to get you ready for a day of leisure. Once you’re done relaxing, head over to the Coliseum Pool & Grill for breakfast paired with views.
Lido Marina Village & Lunch
Head to Lido Marina Village and browse the trendy coastal shops. From Cos Bar to Alchemy Works, Lido Marina Village is full of hidden gems. Once you’ve shopped, it’s time for a cocktail and this shopping district is just the place for that. We recommend Nobu for al fresco dining and the freshest seafood around.
Sunset Cruise
You can’t take a trip to Newport Beach without getting on a boat, and the options are endless. Captain Newport has a variety of rentals available depending on the experience you are looking for. Sit back & and enjoy the view while the captain takes you on a cruise around Newport Harbor. You can also add light bites or a full meal to your cruise if you wish!
Sunday – Coastal Leisure & Farewell
Brunch & Garden Stroll
Farewell from The Resort at Pelican Hill and head towards Sherman Library & Gardens for a stroll around the gardens and brunch. 608 Dahlia brings garden-to-table cuisine with daily pickings from their gardens and local farms, which populate the ever-changing seasonal menu that highlights the best and most flavorful ingredients of the season. Once you’ve brunched, you can take a stroll through the gardens and see the variety of flowers and plants.
Last Minute Shopping
If time permits, we recommend taking a gander at Fashion Island for some last-minute shopping! With stores like Restoration Hardware, which feels more like a museum than a store, and Neiman Marcus, you won’t be leaving empty-handed.
