Bacara: Between the Hills and the Pacific

Perched atop 78 beachfront acres on Santa Barbara’s famous Gaviota coast, Bacara gives guests direct access to the beach. Go for a morning jog along the coast, an afternoon dip in the Pacific, or have a romantic picnic dinner — your room is only a handful of steps from the beach.

Much of what makes Bacara such a magical place is its unique location between the Pacfic Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. Bacara is inextricably linked to the sea, and is the most luxurious of Santa Barbara hotels on the beach.
