La Lomita Ranch offers Spanish charm and Central Coast California serenity right in the heart of San Luis Obispo. Princess Marieta and Prince Zourab of Mallorca first developed the 700-acre farm in the Edna Valley that would become La Lomita, earning international recognition for the Arabian horses they bred on the property. 

Now, La Lomita is the perfect escape for couples who are seeking a tranquil and romantic atmosphere for when they say “I do.” The property offers four unique venues to choose from and can host up to 400 guests.

The Plaza features a stunning Spanish fountain and views of the hills beyond in the tiled courtyard.

 

The Oak Courtyard is the perfect spot for you and your guests to catch up before or after the ceremony. A sturdy oak tree anchors the space, which also features a cozy fire pit. 

The Terrace provides a dramatic backdrop of palms and Spanish olive trees set back against intricately painted Spanish tile steps. 

The Pavilion is the perfect spot for a large reception, with high vaulted ceilings and impressive chandeliers. There is also the possibility to make the celebration an indoor-outdoor affair with the large courtyard that blends into the ballroom.

La Lomita also features a bed and breakfast that can accommodate up to 24 guests. La Posada, or the inn, boasts seven rooms, including La Novia, the bridal suite. The Hacienda, a fully equipped three bedroom, two bathroom home, is the other branch of La Lomita’s accommodations. Guests get to unwind in the most luxurious linens, a European continental breakfast each morning and handcrafted Mexican furnishings.
