We’re looking to showcase standout beach resorts, boutique hotels, wellness retreats, and notable restaurants in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas.
We are particularly interested in unique, high-quality experiences that reflect Santa Barbara’s character—whether oceanfront elegance, Spanish-style boutique stays, vineyard-adjacent escapes, or exceptional culinary destinations.
Opportunities include:

Requirements:
* Resorts and hotels must offer a 2-night complimentary stay for review consideration
* Restaurants must provide a hosted meal for two
