San Ysidro Ranch is a luxurious property in Montecito, Santa Barbara. It’s where JFK and Jackie had their honeymoon. It’s something of a magnet for the American elite. Located at the foot of the Santa Ynez Mountains, it’s surrounded by elegant gardens and stunning views. It’s a place where you can find peace and privacy – even if you happen to be the president.

Montecito is the most upmarket neighbourhood in Santa Barbara. Your neighbours will include Oprah Winfrey. It’s just a 20-minute drive to central Santa Barbara, where you’ll find plenty of excellent bars and restaurants. San Ysidro Ranch is an ideal choice for a staycation in California. Its gardens are deservedly famous – you’ll be greeted with one of the finest views in California.

Whilst LGBTQ+ rights vary from state to state in the USA, there are nationwide laws that protect members of the community from discrimination. Same-sex couples can also marry in the USA, and social attitudes are generally tolerant.

However, challenges persist, including opposition to transgender rights in some regions and ongoing debates over religious freedom versus anti-discrimination protections. Advocacy and legal battles continue to shape the landscape of LGBTQ+ rights across the United States.

"There's nowhere quite like New York for an ultra-lux city break. I always recommend visiting in December for the dream Christmas experience, complete with high-end shopping, Broadway shows and walks in Central Park. "
