Balboa Bay Resort

Balboa Bay Resort sits directly on Newport Harbor along West Coast Highway, giving the property a true waterside setting rather than simply proximity to the beach.

Guest rooms and suites are polished and coastal without becoming overly themed. The strongest categories add balconies and broad views across the harbor, marina and passing boats.

The private waterfront position allows the resort to offer boating, kayaking and Duffy rentals directly from the property, making the bay itself one of the main amenities.

A+O Restaurant | Bar, the pool and a full-service spa give the resort enough on-site depth for a relaxed weekend without requiring a tightly planned itinerary.

Balboa Bay Resort is best for travelers who want Newport Beach from the harbor side, especially when boating, waterfront dining and easy access to the peninsula are part of the appeal.
