Newport Beach Is The Perfect West Coast Winter Travel Destination

This is not going to sound strange to Southern California natives (if you are not from SoCal, bear with me - I will explain,) but winter is the perfect time for a beach getaway. In many places, this would be categorically untrue, but here on the Golden Coast, not only is the weather moderate and the sunsets amazing, but the tourists are few and the prices are significantly lower. One of the loveliest places to chill (pardon the pun) this winter is this oceanfront resort in Newport Beach, CA. The Newport Coast Villas have everything you need for an unforgettable escape this season.

Vacation life doesn’t get much better than this sprawling Tuscan-style resort on a bluff overlooking the Pacific in Newport Beach.

Three huge pools and a whirlpool on the property mean there is plenty of space for everyone to swim, play, or relax poolside. Guests also have free access to the state-of-the-art Fitness Center and Spa by the Sea, which offers facials, massages, body treatments, and waxing services.

Whether you are enjoying the outdoors or relaxing in the pretty lobby with its high ceilings, comfy seating, and tall windows, the views just can’t be beat.

Spacious 2-bedroom, family-friendly villas are private retreats full of amenities like full kitchens, separate living rooms, sofa beds, washers and dryers, complimentary wifi, and furnished patios or balconies with scenic views.

The La Vista Pool Bar and Grill serves up modern American favorites for lunch and dinner alongside a fabulous cocktail menu, all while soaking up the beautiful Newport weather.

Guests can also stop by The Marketplace before heading to the beach to pick up drinks, snacks, sandwiches and salads, pastries, Starbucks coffee, and any last-minute necessities they might need.

Amenities and activities abound here, including billiards, pickle ball, sand volleyball, basketball, mini golf, table tennis, family barbecue and picnic areas, and even an awesome kids’ club known as The Sandbox.

In the evening, settle in for a film at the resort’s Coastal Cinema.

The resort puts you in the perfect location to enjoy everything Newport Beach has to offer, such as Balboa Island, premier beaches (including the breathtaking Crystal Cove), shopping at Fashion Island, boat and whale watching tours, and so much more.
