A flashback to a perfect week overlooking the Santa Barbara Riviera over the holidays. This is a special place. Secluded. Magical. Peaceful. A bikini, sunscreen, and pair of capris is all you really need up here. Belmond, El Encanto is absolutely iconic. It’s a true sanctuary with so much history and so much natural beauty. When you’re here, you feel like a local. It’s luxury, wellness, and mindfulness all wrapped into one gorgeous hotel. It fully embodies a calm state of wellbeing. That’s exactly what I was looking for before entering into a brand new year.
