SAN YSIDRO RANCH Tucked in the foothills of Montecito, California sits the San Ysidro Ranch, a 500-acre retreat with views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands, along with a dazzling, hundreds-of- years-old history. It has long been a retreat for the high profile. Per one instance, John and Jacqueline Kennedy honeymooned here. In more recent times, the Ranch was significantly impacted by a mudslide in January, 2018; it closed for 15 months, but was rebuilt as it was, and welcomed patrons again last year. Lavery notes that the San Ysidro Ranch's clientele is highly dedicated, for good reason. "is place has been quietly knocking it out of the park to a revolving door of loyal return guests, all of whom value service, the beauty of nature and amazing cuisine." To her middle point, the property boasts a remarkably lush mix of flora: French lavender, Jacaranda, mature oak, pepper and lemon trees, jasmine, magnolias and 400-year-old olive trees are just a few examples. Adventure seekers will find plenty of hiking, with trails often leading to secret and secluded hot springs or waterfalls. If you're someone who likes to keep up a workout regimen while on vacation, the San Ysidro Ranch also offers an outdoor fitness center.
