Embrace the Coastal Lifestyle
Newport locals love the abundance of natural beauty found in their coastal oasis. For the best views (and sense of the destination), charter a yacht for a harbor cruise, or strike out for a whale watching tour and windswept view of the coast. Get your pulse raising with a coastal hike that ends in a quaint historic beach cottage enclave, or take a spin on an electric bike through the stunning back bay via its 10-mile paved loop. “Above all”, be sure to take a private helicopter tour of Newport Beach. From Newport’s vibrant blue coastline and harbor to historic and A-lister homes, it’s an experience sure to lift anyone’s spirits.
Seaside Style and Substance
Newport Beach blends coastal chic with sophisticated shopping and culture. Enjoy open air, coastal views paired with boutique and designer brands at Fashion Island and the stylishly laid-back Lido Marina Village —both just minutes from luxury accommodations. Feast on local fashions and indulge in culinary delights, either dockside or from an electric Duffy boat. Discover world-renowned luxury brands with a short drive to South Coast Plaza, a world-class retail destination where flagship boutiques meet private lounges and Michelin-recognized dining. Cap off the day with an evening of performance art at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, where ballet, symphony, and Broadway take center stage in a dazzling cultural setting.
