HOTEL OVERVIEW

There was a time when getting away for a few days and coming back looking rested, rejuvenated and renewed wasn't considered an indulgence but a necessity.A time when afternoons were whiled away by the sea, under wide skies, warmed by the sun. Playing a game of croquet. Sipping a glass of chilled rosé. With clever friends. In good company. The feeling was completely informal and it was in precisely that very relaxed attitude that the luxury lay.

This is the essence of Bacara: Elegance, understatement, complete serenity. Every one of our 311 rooms and 49 specialty suites is like the rest of the resort: luxurious, understated, intimate and relaxed. Every room features a private patio or balcony.

From the 450 square foot Garden View room with lush panoramas of the gardens or courtyards to the The Residence which features 3,700 square feet of discretion and serenity spread over two stories, you'll find all the comforts of home, and then a few wonderful extras.

All are equipped with high speed internet access, multi-line phones, well-stocked mini bars, soft robes and slippers, Frette bed and bath linens, DVD players, and many other amenities. 42,000 square feet completely dedicated to refreshing and reviving you.
