El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara
About the hotel
"Chic and serene, the Belmond El Encanto blends Spanish-colonial design with a laid back California feel in its beautiful bungalows, expansive grounds and idyllic pool."
Located less than ten miles from the Santa Barbara Airport, LAX is less than 100 miles away. And once you get here, you’ll lack for nothing; Santa Barbara as a destination has it all. There’s sailing (you may see California grey whales migrating between mid-February and mid-May), there’s gorgeous shopping in town, wineries to explore, art museums, polo, and – not to forget the young – a zoo.

Located less than ten miles from the Santa Barbara Airport, LAX is less than 100 miles away. And once you get here, you’ll lack for nothing; Santa Barbara as a destination has it all. There’s sailing (you may see California grey whales migrating between mid-February and mid-May), there’s gorgeous shopping in town, wineries to explore, art museums, polo, and – not to forget the young – a zoo. It’s an animal lovers’ haven with Asian elephants, Californian condors, Masai giraffes and over 180 other species.
The property has 62 bungalows and 30 suites, beautifully renovated Mission and California Craftsman interiors decorated in shades of white and stone with natural oak floors. Creature comforts abound, like top-of-the-line bedding, Etro products, heated floor marble bathrooms, walk-in rainfall showers, silent air-conditioning and vast, fluffy beds. Larger suites have open fireplaces and private terraces.
The hotel’s expansive indoor-outdoor terrace offers some of Santa Barbara’s best food (and wine) prepared with the finest locally-sourced products dished up by smart, professional servers. Dine here, and you’ll be treated to romantic, panoramic sea views. Otherwise, there’s the lounge which is more of a casual affair but with gorgeous views, too, and both venues offer a kid’s menu. The bar is the perfect place to end your evening with fine wines, classic cocktails and craveable bar bites, while the hotel’s signature Bellini Brunch invites you to start your Sundays in style with coastal cuisine, live jazz and Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne.
Public areas (there’s artwork here to see, like Hirst’s Diamond Butterfly) are a far cry from the see-and-be-seen attitude of Hollywood. You come here to relax and revel in the tranquillity and serenity. So go for a yoga class on the lawn and then lie back on a grey wicker sun-lounger alongside the idyllic turquoise pool, or escape to The Spa at El Encanto to treat yourself to a sound bath meditation session or a relaxing massage with organic CBD cream.
