Flight

Santa Barbara Airport (SBA)

The Santa Barbara Airport is the closest airport to The Bacara (6.5 miles, 10 minutes). We highly recommend flying to this airport, if possible! If you're not renting a car, a ride share will be $20. Although flight times will likely be limited, it is worth looking into since it is conveniently located near the resort.

Flight

Los Angeles Airport (LAX)

Make it a California vacation and commence your journey in LA before heading to beautiful Santa Barbara! If you've never done it, we highly recommend taking the scenic Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) along the coast of Malibu -- an awe inspiring coastline that is well worth it! This airport is 95 miles (approximately 2 hours) from The Bacara and offers the largest variety of non-stop flights from other major cities.
