Four Seasons Santa Barbara

Nestled on the California coast between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is graced by sunny skies and a mild year-round climate—a quality that has earned it a reputation as the American Riviera. Epitomising the casually sophisticated California lifestyle, guests can indulge in everything from tours of 175 local wineries to surfing, lazing on the beach or lounging poolside at the exclusive Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club.  Built in classic Spanish colonial style, accommodations at Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara include 207 luxury oceanfront guest rooms and suites located in the low-lying main buildings, and in a collection of 12 single-storey cottages secluded amidst garden greenery at the rear of the property. Reached along winding pathways, each cottage comprises three to five guest rooms, each with its own private entrance.
