Pop-Up Igloos In & Around Newport

Just when we thought al fresco dining was closed up for the season in comes igloo dining—welcomed with open arms.

When it is a cold winter night, instead of staying indoors, enjoy a cozy, decorated, and heated igloo overlooking the bay with a prime view of the sunset, paired with seasonal cocktails and a creative menu. This cold-weather dining experience will keep you warm, and somewhat outside, until Spring.

Find all Igloo's in and around Newport below, starting with the Newport Harbor Island Resort.
