Holidays in Isla Vista

Is your phone filled with travel inspo quotes? Does the airport make you excited like a 5-year-old at Christmas? You’re a travel addict, and it’s time to get your next fix in Isla Vista, Santa Barbara! This awesome city is home to around 88,000 people, along with loads of adventures to cross off your bucket list. You'll find Isla Vista 15 kilometres west of downtown Santa Barbara. From Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, it's 3 kilometres to the southwest.

The University of California-Santa Barbara and Goleta Beach are two must-see attractions, and as luck would have it, they're a short commute away. Some other local highlights worth checking out are Rancho La Patera and Stow House and the Sandpiper Golf Club.

Mission Santa Barbara is one of those things that you need to see in real life. Just 2 kilometres from the city centre, you've got no excuses to miss it.

The city centre also boasts a range of excellent sights to appreciate, such as the Santa Barbara Zoo and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Alternatively, take a look around the Lotusland and the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum.

Few things calm a frantic mind quite like the sounds, sights and smells of the natural world. Experience it for yourself at the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, the Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens, Devereaux Slough and Lost Valley Trail.

Encounter a range of native animals and plants at Coal Oil Point Reserve and Goleta Butterfly Grove.

Hotels in Isla Vista

If you're planning to spend a few nights, it'd probably be smart to book your Isla Vista hotel ahead of time (don't worry, last minute bookings work too!) Right now, there are only 10 places available on lastminute.com.au.

Who said that great service needs to cost an arm and a leg? You'll have a peaceful night's shut-eye at an even better price at the Motel 6 Santa Barbara - Goleta and the Super 8 Santa Barbara/Goleta. Alternatively, let the staff at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara or the Kimpton Goodland take care of your every need. After all, what are getaways for if not splashing cash?
