Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara
★ FeaturedOverview
Opened in 1927 and operated by Four Seasons since 1987, the Biltmore is the historic anchor of Montecito luxury. Spread across 22 oak-shaded acres directly across from Butterfly Beach, the resort blends original 1920s Spanish-Colonial architecture with modern Four Seasons polish. Garden cottages, oceanfront suites, the Coral Casino Beach Club next door, Tydes restaurant for waterfront dining, and a quiet Montecito sense of place make this the SB luxury bucket-list stay.
Why Stay Here
The combination of historic Montecito grandeur, direct Butterfly Beach access, Four Seasons service, and the Coral Casino Beach Club is unmatched in Santa Barbara. This is special-occasion SB.
Style & Atmosphere
1927 Spanish-Colonial Revival — red-tile roofs, white stucco, archways, lush gardens. Discreetly powerful old-money Montecito.
