THE RESORT AT PELICAN HILL, CALIFORNIA

HIGHLY ACCLAIMED FAMILY RESORT

The elegant Resort at Pelican Hill brings a touch of the Italian Renaissance to sunny southern California with its stately columns, hand-cut mosaic tiles and striking Coliseum swimming pool.

Spectacularly perched on a hillside with sweeping, uninterrupted views of the gleaming Pacific Ocean, this highly acclaimed family resort is just an hours’ drive from Los Angeles. Strongly influenced by the architecture of the Italian Renaissance, the resort features timeless, Mediterranean-style landscaping replete with 100-year-old olive trees, Italian plaster and hand-made terra cotta finials. Indoor spaces open up seamlessly to the outdoors, with soothing ocean views at every turn.

Scattered throughout are the residential-style, tile-roofed bungalows and villas, each with cosy limestone fireplaces, marble baths, wood-beamed ceilings and private furnished terraces. During their stay, guests can enjoy an array of outdoor pursuits, from kayaking to hiking, horse-riding and surfing. The resort’s expansive Coliseum Pool – lined with one million glass mosaic tiles – is a real showpiece. Other facilities include two outstanding 18-hole golf courses and a plethora of dining options, including exquisite Italian cuisine at the Andrea and coastal Californian fare at the Pelican Grill.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.
