Located 90 miles from Los Angeles, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara offers a serene coastal escape on a 78-acre bluff. This resort, celebrating its 25th anniversary, has undergone an extensive renovation to enhance guests' experience. The design, led by Meyer Davis, emphasizes the region’s natural beauty and history, catering to visitors seeking a refined getaway. Originally opened by Hyatt, the property is inspired by its Chumash heritage and the elegance of its surroundings, providing a luxurious yet grounded experience for guests. Guests can enjoy world-class dining and a tranquil environment along the stunning Gaviota Coast.
"What excites us most is the immediate sense of place guests will feel as they arrive," Gray Davis, co-founder of Meyer Davis, tells Travel+Leisure. "There's a quiet elegance throughout, with places defined by natural materials, rich textures, and a deeper connection to the land and its history."
The sprawling hotel sits atop the former Chumash village of Hel'apunitse at the mouth of Tecolote Canyon, with Haskell's Beach, a renowned surf break, below it.
