"Just one hour south of Los Angeles, The Resort at Pelican Hill calls Newport Beach's stretch of gleaming coastline home. The sweeping coastal retreat houses the largest circular pool found in the US, with over one million hand-cut glass tiles at the bottom to dazzle both kids and adults alike. During the summer months, the pool becomes home to the daily “Morning Splash,” with floaties and inflatable fun for all. The resort’s 332 bungalow and villa accommodations feature several “Imagination Amenities”—complimentary to resort guests and ideal for ages 2–10—including a squeaky clean bath bucket of fun soaps, cups, and toys, and an easel with drawing supplies to create a special art nook in any accommodation. Other kid-friendly programming includes the Mommy & Me Gelato and Manicure experience and youth yoga for ages 3+. Villa rentals are available in two-, three-, and four-bedroom configurations and range from 2,200 square feet to 3,581 square feet. Panoramic terraces with ocean views, gourmet kitchens, and on-call personal butlers are just a few more perks to enjoy." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
