Balboa Bay Resort

Discover Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Beach's only Forbes Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond waterfront resort. Set along Newport Harbor, this distinguished retreat blends contemporary luxury with a legacy that has shaped Newport Beach's waterfront since 1948.

Inspired by the area's coastal heritage and the glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age, the resort's newly refreshed guestrooms and reimagined public spaces blend warm woods, bronze and brass accents, with coastal neutrals and sophisticated design. The resort's 159 guestrooms and suites offer elevated accommodations with Frette linens, Nespresso coffee machines, L'Occitane bath products, private balconies, and evening turndown service, while suites include Dyson hairdryers.

Guests can gather at the new Bar Nineteen48 lobby lounge for handcrafted cocktails or enjoy signature waterfront dining at A+O Restaurant & Bar, where harbor views, fire pits, and California coastal cuisine capture the spirit of Newport Beach. Additional amenities include a full-service spa, heated outdoor pool with private cabanas, Blend Café, a resort boutique, Drybar, complimentary cruiser bikes, and house car service to nearby beaches and premier shopping destinations.

Beyond the resort, Newport Harbor becomes an extension of the guest experience, with private yacht charters, Duffy boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards available to explore the bay. The resort also offers more than 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, including a picturesque waterfront lawn for weddings and special celebrations.

Just 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport, Balboa Bay Resort offers an elevated waterfront escape where timeless Newport Beach charm, thoughtful service, and modern coastal luxury come together.
