This waterfront Newport Beach resort combines SoCal coastal-casual vibes with a touch of French Riviera luxury. Balboa Bay Resort’s prime location overlooking the yacht-lined harbor may have you feeling like you’re in Monaco, but the AAA Four-Diamond hotel’s Spanish tile roof and breezy sophistication are classically Californian. Accommodations are light-filled and spacious, with private balconies, Frette linens, and luxurious pillow top mattresses. Azure accents add a pop of color to soft creme-white furnishings and rich wood fixtures. Take a dip in the heated outdoor pool, a palm-lined oasis at the heart of the resort, and sip while you sun with a peach bellini spritz or a High Noon seltzer from the Pool Bar. Set sail from the hotel’s private dock and cruise through the picturesque harbor on a Duffy boat rental. Wellness offerings include an onsite spa for body and facial treatments, a Drybar blowout salon, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with Peloton stationary bikes and Lululemon Mirror fitness programs to guide you through your workout. Dinner at A+O Restaurant | Bar not only serves up sustainably sourced casual California cuisine but also some stellar views of the sunset over the marina from waterfront seats.
Situated on 40 acres in California’s premier wine region, this hotel is an idyllic countryside escape for those looking to unwind with a glass of red in hand.

Sample fresh produce from Meritage Garden at the farm-to-table Italian restaurant Olive & Hay, or pair refreshing drinks and light bar fare with a game of bowling at the recently renovated Crush Lounge.
