Bacara Resort & Spa, Santa Barbara
Where Luxury and Well-Being Meet
The Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California
Just north of Santa Barbara, California, the sparkling Bacara Resort & Spa provides a relaxed and luxurious escape. Sitting on 78 acres of grounds, the resort is comprised of a cluster of buildings set atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Bacara, 25 years in the making, is the brainchild of the creative owner Alvin Dworman, who has an interest in health and fitness (including Pilates and yoga). As a result, the property is one that promotes a healthy and fit lifestyle.

The magnificent 42,000-square-foot spa, spread out over three levels, offers a cardiovascular and strength training center, personalized wellness programs and one-on-one training. The resort's three saline-filled swimming pools (one is reserved for adults) are a healthier alternative to chlorinated pools and also offer great views. Private poolside cabanas are perfect for lounging the day away.
Bacara's three dining venues offer fresh, quality and healthful fare. The fine dining restaurant Miró features contemporary Basque cuisine using vegetables that are grown at the nearby 1,000-acre Ranch at Bacara; The Bistro uses wood-burning ovens to cure and smoke its own fish, meats and vegetables; and the Spa Café features meals containing less than 20 percent calories from fat. Bacara is also famous for its own brand of granola, along with other food products like sun-dried tomato aioli spread.
Guests can burn calories through a round of golf at the Sandpiper Golf Club—dubbed the "Public Pebble" in reference to the private Pebble Beach golf course—which is located right next to the resort, or work it out on the dance floor in the ballroom (the largest one in Santa Barbara). With such comprehensive amenities, it's easy to see why the resort receives many repeat customers.
