The San Ysidro Ranch in the lush Montecito foothills has provided a tranquil retreat to discriminating travelers for more than a century. Guests are drawn to this legendary hideaway for its blend of exquisite natural beauty, romantic heritage and rustic luxury. Myth and history mingle in gardens where Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier exchanged vows in the setting of John and Jackie Kennedy's honeymoon.
The resort, with 38 luxurious cottages, has recently completed extensive renovations as part of the first phase of an on-going program. Built in classic bungalow style, the cottages offer wood-burning fireplaces, outdoor hot tubs and decks giving way to sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands and Santa Ynez Mountains.
Famed as "The Most Romantic Destination in the World," "Hideaway of the Rich and Famous," "Magic in the Mountains" and many similar accolades. The resort offers the ultimate experience in luxury getaways with world-class service and the finest regional cuisine featuring the freshest ingredients from the resort’s organic vegetable and herb garden.
From its beginnings in 1769 as a way station for Franciscan monks, to its days as a citrus ranch and finally a guest ranch in 1893, San Ysidro Ranch has made its imprint as a part of California history. "We are privileged to be celebrating 110 years of serving our guests with the greatest of hospitality and we look forward to introducing the unique charm of the Ranch to our future guests," says Michelle Taylor, Managing Director of San Ysidro Ranch.
