Perched high in the Santa Barbara hills, El Encanto offers the best views of the American Riviera. Spread across seven acres of secluded gardens, this iconic hideaway opened in 1918 and has been part of Santa Barbara?s social scene ever since. The resort is gleaming and glamorous, yet relaxed and low-key. The kind of place that invites you to recline poolside, breathe in the ocean air, and sip a glass of crisp local wine.
El Encanto, a Belmond Hotel, in Santa Barbara
Enjoy a 2-night stay for two in a standard guest room including daily breakfast at one of California?s most indulgent hideaways. The guest rooms invite coastal-style serenity with a blend of light, airy textures, and locally carved furnishings that echo the tranquility outside. Underfloor heating and wood-burning stoves warm up the cooler seasons. Marble baths invite truly decadent bathing. Come spring, throw open your patio doors and drink in the breeze from the privacy of your terrace. Experience timeless Californian glamor.
Your stay includes complimentary valet parking and dinner for two with a glass of wine in the dining room or under the stars on the ocean-facing terrace. Either way, prepare yourself for superb gastronomy in one of the top restaurants in Southern California.
