Spring seems to be arriving early in Santa Barbara (despite what the groundhog has to say!) and there’s no better way to enjoy it than by checking in close to home. With blue-sky mornings, crisp coastal evenings and that just-right in-between season glow, a late-winter or spring staycation offers a fresh perspective on the place you already love.
This locals-only offer invites Santa Barbara residents to slow the pace and change the scenery with 30% off stays at participating hotels, resorts and vacation rentals.* Think balcony coffee in the sun, unhurried afternoons and the simple luxury of waking up somewhere that feels familiar but refreshingly different.
Spend your days browsing the many boutiques and reenergized shopping hubs (The Post, Coast Village Road, ARTS District, anyone?) hopping between tasting rooms in the Presidio neighborhood, taking advantage of longer daylight hours on one of Santa Barbara’s top hiking trails or exploring the city’s unique museums. With fewer crowds and mild weather, the season lends itself to lingering meals from top local chefs, mural gazes and spontaneous plans that don’t need a schedule.
Many stays sweeten the experience with perks like dining credits and on-property amenities at favorites including Hotel Californian, Mar Monte Hotel and The Leta. Enjoy additional locals-exclusive savings at beloved restaurants, outfitters, spas and attractions—all while supporting the small businesses, artisans and hospitality partners that make our community shine. Whether you’re hosting visiting friends or carving out time for yourself, a staycation turns everyday sunshine into something worth savoring.
Book a night, or a few, and enjoy Santa Barbara the way visitors do. Sometimes the best getaway doesn’t require going far at all.
