Nestled within lush gardens and a fertile hillside, El Encanto offers a serene retreat from the rhythm of city life. Breathe in the warm, salt-kissed air and take in sweeping views of the Pacific. Welcome to your hillside haven.
Bathed in golden light and cooled by ocean breezes, El Encanto is perched high in the Santa Barbara hills – a sanctuary where stillness reigns. Terracotta rooftops peek through palms, winding pathways beckon quiet exploration, and each vantage point reveals a new horizon of sea and sky. Here, time slows, and the world below gently fades.
Inspired by charming Riviera coastal villages, our design encourages unhurried living – curved archways, ceramic accents, and sun-bleached materials create an atmosphere of enduring sanctuary. Ancient olive groves dance in coastal winds, while carefully curated furnishings and handcrafted elements honor traditions built on artistry and serenity.
El Encanto honors Santa Barbara’s architectural heritage. Blending California Craftsman elements with Spanish Colonial influences, this legendary sanctuary captures 1920s elegance enhanced by contemporary artistic touches. Creations from local artist Charles Arnoldi bring additional visual impact to your experience.
