Mediterranean soul, reimagined in the hills of Santa Barbara
Embrace the Mediterranean spirit. Drawing from coastal towns along the Riviera, the design invites a slower pace—arched walkways, tiled details, and sun-washed textures evoke a sense of timeless escape. Olive trees sway
in the breeze, while handpicked furnishings and artisanal touches nod to a heritage rooted in craft and calm.
Dine in our ambient dining room, or feast under the stars on the ocean-facing terrace. Either way, prepare yourself for superb gastronomy in one of the top restaurants in southern California.
Steeped in charisma, El Encanto’s breezy hillside location and enduring iconicity make it one of the most desirable Santa Barbara event venues. Join us for lavish wedding parties or smaller, intimate occasions. Our lush Pacific-facing gardens, expansive terrace and expert party planners combine for the ultimate Californian celebration.
Taking inspiration from coastal elements, The Spa at El Encanto promises a sublime escape. Expert treatments feature luxurious skincare lines, offering a wonderful route to wellness. After your treatment, recline with detoxifying teas or juices on the Dining Room terrace—the views of Santa Barbara will enchant you.
We’re putting the finishing touches on our collection of stories. Return soon to uncover the people, places, and inspirations that make El Encanto unforgettable.
