The jewel of Newport Beach
Beachside bliss at California's Balboa Bay Club
Swim, sunbathe, paddle, and play at
Newport Beach's luxurious Balboa
Bay Club. Enjoy privileged access to
the many amenities of this Southern
California gem, including a stay at the
accompanying hotel, Balboa Bay Resort.
Located on 15 waterfront acres, Balboa
Bay Club is the ultimate destination for
water-lovers.
A private marina, beach, and heated
pool cater to a host of aquatic activities.
You can rent an electric Duffy boat,
paddleboard, canoe, or kayak and cruise
around Newport Beach's largest private
marina. Or stick by the pristine pool with
nearby bar and perfect pocket beach.
Aer a long day on the water, refuel
with a meal at one of five restaurants or
relax with an appointment at the newly
renovated 10,000-square-foot spa.
A eucalyptus steam room, sauna,
and whirlpool will have you recharged
faster than you can say Mai Tai. As
a reciprocal guest, you'll pay a daily
resort fee of $25 to access the Balboa
Bay Club's gym, lounges, locker rooms,
members-only restaurants, and spec-
tacular pool and beach.
Plan your visit strategically, and you
might be lucky enough to catch one
of the club's special events, including
a summer outdoor concert series and
pool parties.
