The sprawling hacienda-style complex is set along a beautiful stretch of ocean and their first-class Pete Dye–designed golf course has spectacular views of the sea and countryside. Mountainside tennis courts, plus on-site dive and water activity operator (Ocean Encounters) ensure plenty to do beyond sunbathing.

The full-service resort stretches over 2,000 landscaped acres, rimmed by the 1,500-foot-long sandy St. Barbara Beach, its calm, lagoon-like waters protected in part by a long pier. Amenities include a spa, a sprawling pool complex, gift shops and clothing boutiques, and an on-site dive operator, Ocean Encounters, which can arrange dive, snorkel, sail, or kayak expeditions.
