An American Icon Experience
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, San Ysidro Ranch invites guests into one of the most iconic love stories in American history.
Inspired by the honeymoon of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, this immersive experience honors a defining era of elegance, romance, and American history—set within the very cottage where their love story at the Ranch began.
Here, romance lingers, woven into the gardens, the architecture, and the moments that unfold with enduring charm.
Details that Define the Stay
Settle into an exclusive two-night stay in the historic Kennedy Cottage, a private two-bedroom retreat featuring an outdoor jacuzzi and outdoor shower, thoughtfully curated with San Ysidro Ranch touches that quietly nod to the icons themselves.
Thoughtful details await upon arrival:
- Fresh-cut flowers arranged in the spirit of Jacqueline Kennedy’s timeless preferences
- A personalized in-cottage bar selection inspired by JFK’s preferences, featuring New England spirits, perfectly stirred Negronis, and a considered collection of wines and whiskies
- A private candlelit dinner designed exclusively for two, accompanied by the sounds of the era—Frank Sinatra setting the tone for an evening meant to linger.
Every element is intentional. Every moment, iconic.
Experience history, On Land and Sea
Wander the grounds of San Ysidro Ranch and beyond in the spirit of effortless California living.
Begin with a horseback ride along the coastline—an homage to Jacqueline Kennedy’s love of riding and one of the most evocative ways to take in sweeping ocean views from above. For a different perspective, embark on a private charter across the channel, where the water shimmers just offshore.
Back on the grounds, days unfold unhurriedly: a leisurely game of croquet on the lawn, a quiet afternoon beneath the trees, or simply sitting back and letting the Ranch’s breathtaking atmosphere do the rest.
An Iconic Ritual Of Relaxation
A modern interpretation of relaxation awaits at the SYR Salon and Spa.
Each experience is thoughtfully tailored, drawing inspiration from Jacqueline Kennedy’s refined beauty routine—indulgent Yon-Ka Paris skincare rituals, and bespoke hair and beauty services featuring Shu Uemura products.
Designed for renewal, this is an invitation to slow down, reset, and emerge effortlessly polished.
