The Ritz-Carlton Bacara
Santa Barbara
“Oceanfront bluff sanctuary”
MICHELIN Guide · Condé Nast Traveler
Vibe
White-stucco villas sprawl across 78 acres like a Mediterranean village perched high above the crashing Pacific surf.
“Oceanfront bluff sanctuary”
Sprawling 78-acre oceanfront campus featuring three zero-edge pools and direct beach access.
Polished coastal luxury service with plush bedding, evening turndown, and ocean-view balconies.
Expansive 42,000-square-foot spa facility featuring eucalyptus steam rooms, saunas, and fitness center.
Located on a secluded Goleta bluff fifteen minutes from downtown chaos.
Rooms
Meyer Davis-redesigned interiors feature custom textiles and handcrafted details that pay homage to Santa Barbara's Mission history.
Backstory
Originally a Chumash settlement, the site transformed from a private ranch into a luxury coastal landmark in 2000.
Wellness
One of the Central Coast's largest spas features 36 treatment rooms, a redwood sauna, and eucalyptus steam rituals.
Eat & drink
Sip local vintages at the Foley Tasting Room or head to Angel Oak for steakhouse classics and ocean-facing vistas.
The neighborhood
Haskell's Beach and the Sandpiper Golf Club sit just steps away, tucked along a rugged, undeveloped stretch of coastline.
“The style is inevitably Spanish, all whitewash and tile roofs, and the buildings hug the ground, sprawled like a village, which lends a surprising degree of intimacy to such a palatial hotel.”
“The Ritz-Carlton Bacara is a truly unbelievable property on the Pacific Ocean with candidly unmatched views and elevated tranquility.”
