With breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, Butterfly Beach, is the backdrop for our unique wedding venues. Experience your most important day at iconic Escala Garden surrounded by quaint 1920s architecture amongst lush tropical landscaping or host your gala wedding party at the oceanfront La Pacifica Terrace and Ballroom located inside the famed private art deco club, Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club. The options are limitless.

We can also cater your reception at any number of on-site locations including the expansive Monte Vista Lawn or the luxurious indoor Loggia Ballroom. We can further assist you in coordinating a pre or post wedding Spa day for brides or grooms at The Spa, our own 12,000 sq. ft. full service spa as well as provide complete hair & makeup services for the wedding party at the on-site Jose Eber Salon.

Eats & Drinks
Food, Restaurants, Cafes, Bars & Lounges
Food, Restaurants, Cafes:
Bella Vista Restaurant is Santa Barbara’s most beautiful premier al fresco oceanfront dining experience. With panoramic ocean and island views across Montecito’s Butterfly Beach, guests will enjoy a contemporary Italian menu showcasing fresh California ingredients inspired by Executive Chef Marco Fossati. The expansive terrace features Italian marble, indoor fireplaces, an outdoor fire pit and a retractable glass roof further create the indoor-outdoor dining experience.

Bella Vista has the distinction of being one of only 12 restaurants in California (the only one in Santa Barbara) licensed to cure its own meats and the shared charcuterie plate is the most popular appetizer on the menu. Thursday nights a crudo bar offers shucked oysters, shrimp and scallops at sunset and the restaurant is home to one of the most celebrated Sunday brunches in the United States. 

Overlooking Butterfly Beach, inside the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club, Tydes offers intimate indoor and outdoor oceanfront dining exclusively to Resort guests and members of the Club. Located on the historic cabana deck, with panoramic views atop the Pacific Ocean through floor to ceiling windows wrapping the space, Tydes provides a visually inspiring setting for experiencing the most luxurious fare the Resort has to offer. Experience local seafood with Mediterranean flavours and fresh, seasonal preparations created by Executive Chef Marco Fossati and his culinary team.

The restaurant includes 1930s art deco-inspired interiors by Peter Marino and represents the crowning achievement of the Club’s over USD 70 million renovation by the owner, this bearing his name. Before or after dinner, enjoy signature cocktails over the ocean at the new Coral Reef Bar, our outdoor 28-foot (8.5-metre) oval sea water aquarium bar with a living coral reef.

All guests of the Resort have access to Tydes for lunch and dinner. Resort guests are kindly asked to use the dedicated Tydes Restaurant entrance. Resort casual attire is required.
Bars & Lounges:

Off the Resort Lobby, lit with glowing Italian onyx and massive hand-blown glass chandeliers, Ty Lounge invites guests to enjoy signature drinks and classic cocktails in front of the fireplace or on the ocean view terrace around the fire pit. Featuring wall to wall Persian hand-knotted carpets, rondel glass, artfully hand-painted walls and ceilings, the Lounge stirs up feelings of the Spanish Colonial revival of the 1920s for a guest lounging in the leather and nail head chairs. Ever present staff offer a sizeable menu of Spanish tapas by candlelight. Wines include a thoughtful selection of hard-to-find Spanish wines by the glass along with fine local vintages.

The best way to end your days in the American Riviera is enjoying a specialty cocktail at the Resort's Coral Reef Bar. Open only to members of the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club and overnight guests of Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara, the Coral Reef Bar is located at Tydes Restaurant. The bar top of the Coral Reef Bar is an attraction all to itself. The freestanding, 275-gallon aquarium bar weighs 675 pounds and is built to support over 300 fish and a live coral environment. Enjoy the breathtaking sunsets over Butterfly Beach and a lively atmosphere of the bar before or after dinner at Tydes restaurant.

All guests of the Resort have access to Tydes Restaurant and the Coral Reef Bar for lunch and dinner. Resort guests are kindly asked to use the dedicated Tydes Restaurant entrance.

For the mother that loves to entertain but finds herself attracted more and more to an easy going plan that includes her little ones, Alicia Lund has the answer: picnics. The blogger behind Cheetah is the New Black planned an intimate picnic during a trip with her husband at the Four Seasons The Biltmore Santa Barbara. This casual soirée was filled with dreamy Southern California neutrals, wine and cheese. The best part? Her baby boy Rex enjoyed the on-the-floor fun with his toys and picnic treats. 

Alicia Lund spills all the effortless details that made her family picnic a parent's happy hour heaven. From the appetizers to the vintage glassware to the lounge ware, it's time to embrace picnic season.
