"The Resort at Pelican Hill, located in the ultra-exclusive Newport Coast zip code, has a luxurious Tuscan vibe , well-manicured hills overlooking the Pacific, beautiful villas and bungalows, and Roman aqueduct-style architecture. At 504 acres, it's huge—so huge that you'll likely need your car to get to your room. It's also surrounded by 50,000 acres of protected green spaces. You'll want to leave plenty of time to relax by The Coliseum Pool, the resort's crown jewel." - Archana Ram
