Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, the iconic coastal retreat set on 24 acres along East Beach, has just completed a series of renovations designed to elevate the guest experience. With fresh amenities and new spaces that embrace Santa Barbara’s wellness-focused lifestyle, the resort is entering a new era as one of California’s premier seaside destinations.
Pickleball With a View
Pickleball continues to take over the leisure scene, and Hilton Santa Barbara is stepping up in style. The resort now features six brand-new pickleball courts—all with stunning coastal views. Guests can stay active, enjoy the ocean breeze, and tap into the latest trend in recreational sports without leaving the property.
A Revitalized Poolside Experience
The resort’s refreshed pool deck is perfect for sun-soaked afternoons. New private cabanas with plush daybeds offer a luxurious way to relax, while updated poolside accommodations include walkout rooms with private fire pits, ideal for cozy evenings by the water. Guests can also enjoy fresh bites and drinks from Terraza del Mar, the poolside bar featuring a new summer menu made for lounging under the sun.
Wellness With FLOAT Luxury Spa
A standout addition is the arrival of FLOAT Luxury Spa, an award-winning partner now offering exclusive treatments on property. Designed as a serene escape, the spa embraces the region’s wellness-forward vibe and gives guests an opportunity to recharge in style.
Dining With a Local Touch
The property’s culinary offerings remain a highlight. The Set, the resort’s signature restaurant, continues to impress with bistro-style favorites, handcrafted cocktails, and sweeping ocean views. Combined with Terraza del Mar’s poolside selections, Hilton Santa Barbara delivers dining that’s as memorable as its setting.
Rooms Designed for the California Coast
With 335 coastal-inspired rooms and 25 suites, every stay includes private balconies or patios with views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Ynez Mountains, or lush gardens. Whether it’s oceanfront fire pits at sunset or wine tastings in the resort’s Wine Tasting Room, Hilton blends California’s classic beach culture with Hilton’s global standard of hospitality.
Santa Barbara’s Quintessential Escape
Often called the “Hamptons of the West”, Santa Barbara has long been a magnet for travelers seeking sun, surf, and sophistication. With these thoughtful updates, Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort cements its place as the ultimate retreat for both locals and visitors—an oceanfront hub where relaxation, wellness, and connection come together.
