The newest luxury resort on the California coast takes both a giant step forward and
a giant step back in time. Bacara Resort & Spa, the new 78-acre Spanish colonial-style
beach resort just north of Santa Barbara, blends the future of high technology and the
glamour of 1920s Hollywood.
Celebs who have stayed there include: Meg Ryan, Barbra Streisand, George Clooney,
Cher, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Drew Barrymore stayed after her house burned down
and Shaquille O'Neal has flown his private helicopter to Bacara to spend the day.
