Pelican Hill Resort tour + review 2022 - with Inspirato Pass

Pelican Hill is a resort nestled along the coast of Newport Beach, California and was rated the #1 resort in the U.S. by readers of Condè Nast Traveler.

We recently had a killer opportunity to spend the better part of a week at the resort, through our Inspirato Pass membership (for about 94% below retail), so we're giving you a complete video walk-thru of one of our 2-bedroom villas and the rest of the resort grounds.

In total, we were essentially staying in a 4,400 square foot, 4-bedroom compound villa at Pelican Hill on the Pacific coast of Newport Beach, California. Book it directly through Pelican Hill and it will set you back almost $40k for those same 5 nights. We “paid” just under $2,500 (29 Pass days) through Inspirato. That’s about 94% below retail.

Our Pelican Hill stay by the numbers:

• 5 nights (early June) in two 2-Bedroom Garden View Villas

  • $34,050 Subtotal
