Overview

Within easy reach of your Four Seasons guest room or suite are other options for sports or active enjoyment. For further ideas or details, our Concierge is always pleased to advise and assist you.

Butterfly Beach

Located steps from the Resort, this beach is known for its quiet location and beautiful sunsets, and gives the impression of a private beach.

Self-guided botanical walking tour

Nature-loving guests can use the botanical map provided in each guest room to enjoy a leisurely self-guided walking tour exploring 44 of the property's rarest specimens. Many horticultural treasures and exotic plants have been brought in from around the world, and the Resort's meticulous gardeners keep them flourishing at their peak year-round. View North America's largest collection of rare kentia palms, or snap a photograph under the famous Moreton Bay fig tree, which dates back to the 1800s and has branches that span hundreds of feet.

Summertime stargazing

During the summer, the Resort hosts monthly stargazing evenings on the Monte Vista Lawn, where expert astronomers from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History lead an engaging session of skywatching, pointing out wonders of the night sky and unlocking mysteries of the universe. Unlimited appetisers, beer and wine accompany observations of the moon, constellations and planets through telescopes.

July 8 and August 12, 2009, from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm; USD 25.00 per person.

Reservations are encouraged; please call the Concierge at
(805) 565-8291 for more information or to make a reservation.

S'mores night

Every Wednesday evening during the summer, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, guests can gather around the fire pit on the oceanfront Bella Vista terrace to enjoy complimentary s'mores.
