Last week my family was invited to visit the Bacara Resort & Spa just north of beautiful Santa Barbara to share a firsthand Bacara review on its family-friendly offerings.
It’s a tough job. [Please don’t hate me.]
Santa Barbara is one of my favorite places on Earth, and I had always wanted to stay at this luxury resort in Santa Barbara, but to be honest, I would have never thought of taking my kids there.
To me, it seemed like a high-end property geared more towards adults and couples. Which it is, don’t get me wrong, but what I learned from our stay is that Bacara is also a fabulous family resort in Southern California!
Situated on 78 acres on the beautiful Pacific coast, it is an easy drive for a getaway, but far enough away to make you feel like you are in a different world.
After a busy summer running around like crazy, we valeted the car upon arrival and didn’t leave. We didn’t have to, or want to. To spend two days relaxing was a much-needed family retreat.
Here is a view of the property from a nature walk we took. From where I am standing to take this photo, I am still on Bacara property.
