Holiday shopping is more than just a necessity during this time of year. As an only child, I spent a lot of one-on-one time with each of my parents and one of my favorite outings was a visit to our local Outlet Mall. This was usually an all-day adventure given the fact that our closest outlet shopping destination was about an hour from our home. But what I loved about our time together was exploring all of the latest fashion trends in one central location.
If you’re Orange County-centric, then you know that there is a great need for an Outlet shopping destination. Up until the Outlets at San Clemente opened this week, locals had very few choices, most of which involve traveling either to Los Angeles or San Diego counties. With more than 70 retailers and restaurants, the brand new Outlets at San Clemente debuts as Orange County’s first, oceanfront al-fresco outlet shopping and dining destination.
Conceived more than 18 years ago, this avant-garde shopping destination weaves in San Clemente’s Spanish Colonial roots with sweeping ocean views and modern luxury. Walking through the center on opening day was reminiscent of the many European villages I’ve traversed in my life. Adobe facades, red clay tile roofs, graceful archways and romantic balconies distinguish the Outlets at San Clemente.
As I walked through courtyards, I had to remind myself that this is in fact an outlet shopping destination. The VIP amenities are expansive and include valet parking, complimentary Wi-Fi, complimentary stroller and wheelchair use, complimentary baggage check, a VIP loyalty program & lounge, and luxury restrooms.
This week’s grand opening features some of my favorite stores including White House Black Market, Calvin Klein, GUESS Factory Store, H&M, Tilly’s, Vans, and Under Armour. Guests can expect to save 30-70% off retail prices, save H&M and Sun Diego Boardshop. Future retailers will continue to open throughout the year and there are plans to open a number of fast-casual and sit-down restaurants, including 4 with ocean views.
Inaugural Tree Lighting Concert
To commemorate the opening of the Outlets at San Clemente, the destination will host a Tree Lighting Concert featuring American Authors, best known for their hit song “Best Day of My Life,” American Idol winner Nick Fradiani, and aspiring singer/X-Factor contestant John Lindahl. This free open-air concert will include lighting of the center’s Christmas Tree, which features 3,000 holiday lights.
