Orange County Resort New Like visiting Italy
The pristine beaches, pockets of luxury and beautiful sunsets have long attracted tourists to this lovely area. A large number of stations have mushroomed along the coast. Now there's more - and it's a doozy. The Resort at Pelican Hill was opened in November 2008, capping decades of dreaming and three years of intensive work under the direction of the Irvine Company, a longtime developer of luxury residential properties in Southern California. This is the first major resort built from scratch by the Irvine Company - they have another hotel in the area they bought and renovated - and obviously they have pulled out all the stops. Of course, they had a pretty nice piece of property to begin. The resort is spread over a total area of 504 hectares on the hills south of Newport Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In essence, they transplanted a piece of Italy to the coast of Newport, containing olive and fig trees, architecture in size Italian - incorporating the style of Palladio, an architect of the 16th century - to the Italian plaster on buildings that look like they belong in Tuscany. In arriving at our weekend getaway, it was difficult to miss the Bentleys, Mercedes and BMW in the driveway. Not that we had no less attention in our standard SUV 4X4 - The service starts from the moment you arrive, with trained staff obviously take care of every detail. We were quickly controlled and directed to follow our Bellman on his golf cart as he showed us where to park our car. The homes at Pelican Hill is residential style, but none of them are private. There are bungalows that are between 847 and 1694 square feet, and then there are the more expensive villas, which are really like holiday homes that are between 2,000 and 3,073 feet. All have stunning views of the Pacific and it even come with their private butler. Staying in a suite bungalow, we would have to do without. It was the duty hard, straight. Our suite was divided into two main areas, with a complete set of sofas, armchairs, big screen plasma TV and an entertainment center and dining room on one side and the master bedroom on the other side with a king, another large plasma TV entertainment center and a fireplace and kitchen with counters and small refrigerator. The bath area, everything is done in travertine and rich dark woods, including a double vanity, shower and bathtub-size doors with shutters peek-a-boo opening to the master bedroom. The overall impression is of elegance and craftsmanship. Everything is bigger than you can imagine - which is Andrea Palladio was - from square foot bungalow with high wooden ceilings. The piece de resistance was the bridge area range accessible by sliding glass doors on both sides of the bungalow and large enough to accommodate two ultra-luxurious armchairs, a table with four seats and ample space between the two to just linger by the see-through railings of the bridge and drink in the fabulous view of the Pacific, including the island of Catalina. It's one of those places you would not mind just hole up for the weekend and never leave your bungalow, but Pelican Hill makes a point of offering a wide range of activities such as swimming in one of three swimming pools, biking and hiking trails, a state of the art fitness center, spa great, scenic golf course and Camp Pelican, a place for children to spend days and half days while their elders enjoy a short respite from parenting. We took this afternoon's and our eight years gave his time there a success - especially since it played Wii much of the afternoon with his camp counselor. One of the pools deserve special mention because it is so unique. The Pool Coliseum.
