Located just 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles in Santa Barbara’s picturesque Montecito community, Rosewood Miramar Beach opened in March 2019 as the one and only resort in Southern California to offer guestrooms situated directly over the sand. Boasting 161 ultra-luxury accommodations and an array of inspired amenities, including seven distinct dining venues, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, high-end onsite retail experiences, two cabana-lined swimming pools and fully-serviced beach access, Rosewood Miramar Beach was quickly established as a discerning destination for travelers worldwide. Reflecting the glamour and sophistication of the American Riviera, the 16-acre resort was inspired by the beautiful and grand estates of Montecito and provides a truly unique and residential guest experience, akin to the feeling of being hosted at a private home.
“It’s humbling to be recognized by the sophisticated and discerning readers of Condé Nast Traveler as one of the top rated resorts in Southern California,” “Since opening our doors in March, our associates have aimed to provide the highest level of customer service to each and every one of our guests and neighbors. This latest accolade is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and we thank both our team and our guests for a truly wonderful inaugural year.”
