About
Nestled into the lush Montecito foothills, the Forbes five-star San Ysidro Ranch has provided a tranquil retreat for discriminating travelers for over a century. Guests are drawn to this legendary hideaway for its blend of exquisite natural beauty, romantic heritage and classic luxury. Myth and history mingle in the fragrant gardens where Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier exchanged vows; in the setting of John and Jackie Kennedy's honeymoon retreat.
Spanning 550 acres between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, San Ysidro Ranch is just 90 miles north of Los Angeles, and a short 20 minute drive to the Santa Barbara Airport with adjacent FBO.
Thirty eight individually decorated private cottages wind along San Ysidro's creek- and tree-lined paths. Built in classic bungalow style, all cottages offer plush king-size beds with fine linens, hot tubs on private outdoor patios with outdoor rain showers, hand-cut stone or Old World masonry fireplaces, radiant-heated bathroom floors, flat-screen TVs and hand-selected antique furnishings.
Located in a 19th-century citrus packing house, The Stonehouse, a longtime Wine Spectator Grand Award winning restaurant, features a relaxing lounge with full bar service and a separate dining room with crackling fireplace, leading to an ocean view terrace. Guests can also dine under the stars and lantern-lit loquat trees on the Garden Patio. Chef Matt Johnson's regional cuisine is prepared with a palate of herbs and vegetables harvested from the on-site chef's garden.
Inspired by the clandestine bars of the Prohibition era, The Speakeasy revives the spirit of hidden indulgence. This exclusive enclave is where craft cocktails and one-of-a-kind spirits flow, wrapped in an atmosphere of seductive charm. Every night, the venue comes alive with the sultry notes of live music, making it the perfect place for those seeking an escape from the ordinary. Recognized as a Forbes Travel Guide Star Bar—one of only 37 in the world—The Speakeasy delivers an exceptional cocktail experience defined by craftsmanship and service.
