Perched in the breezy hills above the Pacific, El Encanto offers one of Santa Barbara’s most coveted event destinations. From elegant garden gatherings to grand celebrations under the stars, our storied estate brings together panoramic views, sophisticated venues, and thoughtful planning to create truly memorable experiences.
Shaded by scented pines, our timeless venues are the perfect place to declare your love. Host a micro-wedding by the wishing well, a reception beside wisteria-lined ponds or plan a lavish party in our grand ballroom. From coastal culinary treats on the lawn to pre-wedding pamper time in the spa, we’ll make sure every detail of your celebration is flawless.
More than just a celebratory space, El Encanto is ideal for productive business events and strategy sessions. Four separate function rooms complement our gardens, giving you the freedom to plan all kinds of workshops, presentations and meetings. Host a networking event on our terrace with views of the Pacific. Or reserve the entire hotel to customize an agenda that leaves every guest informed and inspired.
Envision El Encanto entirely to yourself. With 90 guest rooms and full estate access, our team can tailor every detail of your event, from accommodations and dining to wellness and experiences. Perfect for weddings, retreats, and incentive travel, full buyouts offer total immersion in the magic of the American Riviera.
