Experience

Adjacent to the resort community of Santa Barbara, the four-star Bacara Resort & Spa is located along California’s most spectacular stretch of Pacific paradise, between the ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. Just ten minutes from the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, Bacara is approximately 90 miles north of Los Angeles (90 minutes by car) or three hours from LA via the scenic Amtrak “Surfliner.” The resort is a five-hour drive from San Francisco.

With 78 acres of ocean front property – including two miles of natural beach – Bacara Resort & Spa offers an expansive sun-drenched setting with endless vistas of sea and sky, while the resort’s innovative and artful design – low-storied buildings, terraced to the sea and connected by meandering garden paths – is in keeping with the intimacy and aesthetics of a Mediterranean village

Complete with flower-filled courtyards, restful fountains and red-tiled roofs, Bacara is the perfect place to enjoy the leisurely pace and warm embrace of the California lifestyle, where the climate is Mediterranean – mild and sunny, with average daytime temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. Cool, crystal-clear nights are ideal for stargazing (unlike most Southern California coastal areas, where the concentration of urban lights and frequent nighttime cloud cover can obscure even the moon).

With its spectacular setting, convenient location, beautiful architecture and wonderful weather, Bacara Resort & Spa is the perfect vacation destination, ideal for weekend getaways, leisurely vacations, family reunions, weddings, honeymoons, business retreats, conferences or other special events.

Bacara Resort & Spa also boasts:

• 354 spacious guestrooms, specialty suites or luxury retreats, all of which feature private balconies or patios, with garden, mountain or ocean views.
• Fine dining in four restaurants, including the four-star Miro restaurant, which features a 12,000-bottle wine cellar.
• The four-diamond Spa at Bacara, a 42,000-square-foot spa and fitness center.
• World-class golf at three nearby courses.
• Additional resort recreation, including beach activities, three zero-edge swimming pools, four lighted tennis courts, a supervised kids’ club, specialty retail shops, and adjacent hiking trails.
• Outstanding wedding and reception venues, with beautiful ocean views, terraces and patios.
• Over 25,000 square feet of multipurpose meeting and function space, which includes the Executive Conference & Technology Center and a private screening room.
• Close proximity to all of Santa Barbara’s many attractions, including wineries, ocean excursions, historic sightseeing and upscale shopping.
