Not everyone can live the everyday lifestyle of The O.C.’s Cohen family (one of my favorite shows from the early 2000’s).  But you can enjoy a luxurious vacation on the Southern California coast.

Wanderlust recently ventured to the West Coast and checked out some beautiful properties to keep in mind for your next U.S. travels.

With golf, spas, outdoor activities, fitness classes, shopping, and more there is so much to do, or do nothing at all at one of these Virtuoso preferred resorts.

Whether traveling solo, as a couple, family or group there are room options for everyone at these two fabulous resorts.

The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach

With Palladian-inspired architecture from Northern Italy and expansive views of the Pacific Ocean you will enjoy a luxurious experience in one of the bungalow guest rooms or 2 to 4 bedroom villas.  The bungalows are the most spacious resort rooms we have seen.  They are over 845 sq feet and each have a fireplace and terrace.
