There are many places we love in Newport Beach, but Lido is always a favorite. It’s where you settle in with a glass of wine on the deck. Live music playing. Boats drifting by as the sun sets.
Boutique shopping in the village. Classic films at the historic 1938 theater. Evenings at relaxed, stylish restaurants that feel both local and elevated.
Lido is the kind of place you return to again and again. Casually vibrant. Effortlessly elegant. Unmistakably familiar.
That feeling — grounded, warm, and timeless — is what inspired LIDO.

Candle Care
➕ On your first use, burn your candle for 2 hours to allow the wax to melt evenly to the edge of the jar.
➕ after your candle cools, wipe any black residue off of the top with a paper towel to keep it looking good as new!
➕ Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting to avoid a large flame, smoking and wax discoloration.
➕ Fluctuations in temperature can cause the wax to contract and pull away from the sides of the glass. This is common when candles are shipped or stored in environments with varying temperature. Once the candle is lit, you will see the contraction of the wax correct itself.
Product Details
We use a proprietary blended soy/vegetable wax, phthalate-free premium fragrance oil, and lead-free wick.
