Nestled above the Pacific Ocean in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains, El Encanto, a Belmond Hotel, Santa Barbara, invites you to unwind and draw inspiration from this vivid sensory oasis. Seven acres of rolling scenery surround you with exquisite flora, citrus aromas, and an endless panorama of ocean and mountains. Californian palms and magnificently landscaped gardens attract an immersive kaleidoscope of birds and butterflies that dance and enchant with their vital beauty. Green practices: A Green Business Certification is a rarity among hotels, particularly in Santa Barbara. We feel very honored as the path to get her was not a smooth one. We faced many challenges, such as, switching from Evian single use plastic water bottles to our current aluminum Open Water single use bottles. Certified through a Green Business Network program (Certified Level).
