A touch of luxury mixed with relaxation makes Santa Barbara County a must for your vacation bucket list.

Where to stay in Santa Barbara County

When it comes to hotels in Santa Barbara County, you really are spoilt for choice. But the big question is, which part do you stay in?

Goleta is brilliant for families with heaps of affordable stays close to the best outdoor adventure activities like hiking and tide-pooling. Staying near the Channel Islands Harbor is brilliant for exploring sea caves, kayaking and enjoying peaceful coastal vibes.

Santa Barbara offers an excellent mix of beach and city life, with pretty stores and boutiques, wine tasting and pristine beaches. Santa Ynez Valley is a wine lover’s paradise with gorgeous vineyards and more wine than you could ever sample.

For a spot of the celeb lifestyle, head to Montecito to hang out with the A-listers and gawp at the stunning estates. Or for a taste of small-town seaside charm, base your stay in Carpinteria. You’ll love the cozy vibes and mellow beach days.

Top things to do in Santa Barbara County

  • Fall in love with Solvang. This adorable Danish-inspired town is packed with quirky stores, windmills and mouth-watering bakeries (make sure you try the aebleskivers - thank us later).
  • Explore the Santa Barbara Mission. This stunning landmark, known as the Queen of the Missions, is brimming with pretty gardens and history.
  • Chow down on barbecue. Head to Santa Maria Valley and pig out on the smoky, seasoned meat cooked to perfection over red oak.

Insider tips for visiting Santa Barba

  • Don’t rent a car in Santa Barbara. Everything is walkable or bikeable in downtown Santa Barbara. If you want to give your feet a rest, use the electric shuttle on State Street.
  • Midweek is better. To enjoy the wineries in Santa Ynez Valley, we recommend going midweek and avoiding the weekend rush.
  • Don’t miss the small towns. Ballard and Los Alamos have lots of small-town charm, farm-to-table restaurants and cute antique stores.
