The Ultimate Staycation at VEA Newport Beach
Can’t travel? No problem! Plan your next staycation at Newport’s VEA Hotel, a luxurious oasis in the heart of Orange County.
Just a stone's throw from Fashion Island, VEA Newport Beach is the perfect spot for your next getaway.
ACTIVATE STAYCAY MODE
Designed around panoramic Pacific views, nothing screams “staycay” like VEA Newport Beach.
A large circular waterfall guides you into the lobby, where folding glass walls and pier-inspired architecture transport you to another world.
Feast your eyes on warm woods, muted neutrals, delicate marble, and sculptural glass as you walk to your room.
PREPARE TO BE WOWED
Brought to life by esteemed architecture and design firms HBA San Francisco, Gensler, Burton Studio, and Houston Tyner Architects, every room is designed to impress.
Our particular room offered a large double balcony and sweeping views of Catalina Island, making it the ultimate coastal luxury escape.
Room amenities include Frette robes and bath towels, crisp linens, luxury Molton Brown bathroom amenities, Nespresso machines, and even firepits (in select premium rooms).
SAVOR THE MOMENT
Enjoy room service from the comfort of your robe, or dine like a queen at one of VEA’s three brand-new culinary experiences.
Under the helm of Executive Chef Andrew Arndt, VEA’s food and beverage offerings include VIEW: A coastal Californian-inspired restaurant and lounge offering cozy seating, live music, and tableside martinis (of course), Elan Café & Bar: A European-inspired coffee bar and patisserie in the lobby lounge, and Edge Pool & Bar: A poolside terrace bar overlooking the Newport Beach Country Club offering fresh local seafood, craft beers, and signature cocktails (the frozen paloma with an Aperol finish is a must).
STRETCH, SPIN, SCULPT, OR STEAM — THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Work off those martinis and palomas in VEA’s 5,000-square-foot fitness center with views that’ll get your heart racing.
Not one to sweat on your staycation? Retreat to SPA VEA, a 14,000-square-foot spa sanctuary right off the lobby. Awaken your senses with an outdoor yoga class and saltwater plunge, or opt for one of VEA’s signature spa treatments.
If SPA VEA leaves you wanting more, you can purchase a day pass for future use. Day passes include access to SPA VEA’s indoor steam room, whirlpool, dry sauna, and outdoor co-ed pool.
CHECK-OUT (OR NOT)
If there’s one way to end the ultimate staycation, it’s sprawled out in a private cabana by VEA’s 85-foot-long pool. The pool area — complete with live music, LED screens for swim up movies, and a roaring fireplace for those winter months — is the perfect place to end your trip.
If you simply cannot leave (don’t worry, we get it!), reserve a luxury cabana for up to eight people and keep the good times rolling.
