Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara, a AAA Five-Diamond award recipient and California's premiere Four Seasons resort, debuts a new 4,000 square foot (375 square metre) beachfront villa. The Ty Warner Villa offers guests an exclusive luxury beachfront hideaway with a strong emphasis on indoor and outdoor living. Nestled between the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean on the property's 22 acres (10 hectares) of lush jungle gardens, Ty Warner Villa features a 180-degree view of Butterfly Beach and the Channel Islands. Outfitted with the latest technology, two outdoor entertaining terraces including fireside lounging, a 12 by 15 foot (3.7 by 4.6 metre) oceanfront plunge pool, dual couples Dornbracht shower with frameless glass wall that leads to a 150 square foot (14 square metre) outdoor jungle rain shower, and a one-of-a-kind bathtub carved from a single piece of French limestone; it is the perfect couples retreat.
Accessed by its own camera-monitored private driveway, guests arrive at the villa to a sweeping outdoor terrace complete with an oceanfront 12 by 15 foot (3.7 by 4.6 metre) heated plunge pool with whirlpool jets and bench seating, croquet lawn, Sonos surround sound system and fireplace surrounded by mature lush tropical landscaping. The custom outdoor teak furnishings including sofas, loungers and dining sets paired with panoramic ocean views create the perfect atmosphere for entertaining and dining al fresco.
Inside the Ty Warner Villa, guests feel at home with an ultra-luxe palatial living and dining space. The open-concept area features custom wood wainscot and coffered wall panelling, white-washed wide plank oak floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors, custom dim-to-warm recessed lighting, antique chandeliers, antique Persian rugs, inlaid Italian marquetry, an exquisite moonshadow quartzite marble slab bar with dual wine storage and beverage centres and a backlit built-in craftsman library wall. True to the Resort's connection to the community, Ty Warner Villa showcases celebrated local artists and craftsmen as well as period-specific prints throughout.
Continuing through the coastal villa, the grand master bedroom sleeps two guests and is encased in floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of the Santa Barbara coastline. The intimate yet modern bedroom features a fireplace with hand-painted tile, custom upholstered seating, 65 inch flat screen television, touchscreen controls and an indoor Sonos surround sound system. A spacious estate-sized walk-in wardrobe allows for each piece of the guests' personal belongings to be tucked away and stored securely during their stay. For families or small parties, the Ty Warner Villa can connect to an additional bedroom with a spa bathroom.
Steps from the bedroom lies the zen-like bathroom retreat with indoor and outdoor spaces including, as the focal point, a deep soaking bathtub carved from a single piece of French limestone designed especially for the Ty Warner Villa. A floor-to-ceiling frameless glass wall to the right of the bathtub houses the dual couple's rain shower with hand-painted tile, hand-leathered gascogne limestone and Dornbracht chrome fixtures. On the opposite side of the expansive bathroom, guests find two single standing vanities with stone vessel sinks and Dornbracht chrome fixtures. Moving seamlessly through a 20 foot (6 metre) frameless glass wall to the 150 square foot (14 square metre) outdoor jungle rain terrace, couples are immersed in a romantic experience unlike any other.
Directly off the spacious main living areas of the Ty Warner Villa lies a rich in colour and history hallway with an antique craftsman carved bench seating and hand-woven wall coverings. The one-of-a kind space takes guests to a powder room and boasts french doors that open to a second outdoor mountain view terrace. The sunlit private patio, with hand-made pottery, tranquil fountain with Andalusian hand-painted tiles, stone fire pit and custom single piece concrete dining table that can transform into table tennis, offers another outdoor retreat for dining, relaxing or entertaining that is beyond compare.
