his spot on the outskirts of Santa Barbara hasn’t been a ranch, strictly speaking, for quite some time, unless one considers rustling up the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Winston Churchill and John and Jackie Kennedy (not all at the same time, mind) to be a traditional ranching activity. San Ysidro Ranch, these days, is more like what might have once been called a health farm, albeit an exceedingly luxurious one.

Rather than steaks and eggs, or whatever it was that Old West ranchers ate, guests at San Ysidro dine on California cuisine prepared largely from the gardens on premises. Post-meal you’ll retire to one of 38 cottages, set behind a private gated entry and private garden and California-rustic in style with a stone fireplace, a collection of antiques, and luxuries such as heated bathroom floors, indoor/outdoor showers, and private hot tubs on the outdoor patios.

In addition to the two restaurants there’s also the 1920s inspired Speakeasy bar, an impressively stocked wine cellar holding 15,500 bottles from 70 wine regions, and a spa and hair salon. But what’s probably most remarkable about San Ysidro Ranch is the understatedness of it all — in Southern California this low-key, discreet atmosphere is the absolute height of desirability. You may well see some familiar faces, but you can count on the staff to keep a secret. Sure, we dropped some big names in the first paragraph, but it took decades for those to get out — and if you’re not quite on JFK’s level, celebrity-wise, you can count on the better part of a century’s worth of discretion.

How to get there:
San Ysidro Ranch is approximately a 15-minute drive from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and 1½ hours north of Los Angeles.
