This Not-so-Exclusive Club Is Making Waves on the California Coast
In case you missed it—the highly anticipated Newport Beach Vacation Club is now open and accepting all members!
But what exactly is this “club?”
A feat of undeniably fantastic branding, this (somewhat) fictitious society is a not-so-exclusive club designed for distinguished leisureists seeking unparalleled luxury, breathtaking ocean views and world-class amenities. The Newport Beach Vacation Club is cleverly redefining the vacation experience, offering an exceptional range of accommodations and privileges that cater to the desires of all types of travelers. And while any self-proclaimed excursionist can join by simply booking a trip to Newport Beach, there’s still a sense of exclusivity, making this club cooler than anything you’ve ever signed up for. Here’s an inside look at the plentiful perks and what it means to be a member of the illustrious Newport Beach Vacation Club.
The Grounds
Set on nearly 53 square miles of meticulously manicured grounds, the Newport Beach Vacation Club boasts a majestic harbor, pristine beaches and ample opportunities for shopping, dining and recreational pursuits. Members can explore over 10 different neighborhoods—from the charming streets of Balboa Island to shop-lined alleyways of Lido Marina Village. Popular pastimes include teeing off on one of the club’s many golf courses, such as the famed Pelican Hill Golf Club, enjoying some friendly competition on the pickleball court, sipping martinis poolside at VEA Newport Beach, setting sail on the bay and indulging in some retail therapy at Fashion Island.
