San Ysidro Ranch

WINNER

Few places embody California’s storied glamour like San Ysidro Ranch, a Ty Warner property, tucked into the Montecito foothills. Set across 550 acres of lush, meticulously maintained grounds, the historic hideaway has long drawn an illustrious clientele, from Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Today, the ranch continues to define understated luxury through its 38 vine-covered cottages, each offering privacy, character, and a strong sense of place with bespoke design. Meandering garden paths lead to blooming rose gardens, a secluded pool, and a serene Salon & Spa, while dining anchors the experience at the Stonehouse, a beloved restaurant set within a former citrus packing house. With a celebrated wine program, the intimate Speakeasy at Plow & Angel, and recent recognition from both the World’s 50 Best Hotels and the Michelin Guide, San Ysidro Ranch remains one of California’s most iconic retreats.
