Mountain Trek Santa Ynez is an evolution. A flag in the ground for the luxury health & wellness industry. Everything that you expect from our award-winning program; epic hiking, Michelin-star-worthy food, nurturing staff, and a state-of-the-art spa experience… and so much more; we will challenge the cross-section of luxury and sustainability and offer a retreat that is not only driven by the mission to help guests dramatically reset their health, but do so responsibly. Fully off-grid and 99% fossil-fuel-free, Mountain Trek Santa Ynez is a first for our industry.
Just 30 minutes away from Santa Barbara Airport (direct flights from 5 top-performing cities, and 6 others), a 2-hour drive from Los Angeles, and a 4.5-hour drive from the Bay Area (California is currently our top market), Mountain Trek Santa Ynez will be easily accessible, will operate year round, and will have an inverse "prime season" to MT BC.
We firmly expect to continue earned distinctions for being the best health and wellness retreat in the world. In addition, we expect the facility's innovative architecture, design, and sustainability to earn additional awards. Mountain Trek Santa Ynez will be not only an evolution for Mountain Trek, but a massive transformation for the luxury travel industry.
Mountain Trek Santa Ynez will be carbon neutral in its existence, not just its operations. Every flight taken to reach us, every mile driven by guests and staff, and every food scrap will be accounted for. Our industry desperately needs to start taking ownership for its impact on the environment. Mountain Trek is prepared to lead that charge.

Sitting within the protected boundaries of Los Padres National Forest, the 156+acre private parcel chosen for this expansion is a true California gem. Historically deeded private via the Homestead Act of 1862, this parcel has remained private while the National Forest has grown around it, establishing a privacy rivaled only by our own British Columbia lodge. Immediate access to excellent year-round hiking and the Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Solvang, and Los Olivos communities makes this the perfect location for an industry-defining second lodge.
