Friends and family of newlyweds Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco stayed at the luxurious El Encanto hotel in Santa Barbara, Calif., over the weekend.
Several guests were spotted on the American Riviera property, Page Six confirmed, to celebrate the couple’s nuptials on Saturday.
“Once an Old Hollywood favorite, the property today blends historic glamour with modern luxury,” an insider said.
Paul Rudd, along with Gomez’s “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, were photographed outside of the beautiful resort before the singer said “I do” to the music producer.
The getaway features breathtaking coastal views and 90 individually styled bungalows and suites — with accommodations ranging in price from $900 to more than $5,000 a night.
“Each room embraces seaside tranquility through luminous, flowing materials and regionally handcrafted pieces that mirror the peace beyond your windows,” the hotel’s website boasts.
The rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces and heated floors, marble bathrooms, private terraces and elevated cottage-core decor.
Lodgers are welcome to enjoy some R&R by the zero-edge pool or in the cozy escape inside the on-site spa.
“Inspired by the natural rhythms of sea, sky, and hillside serenity, The Spa at El Encanto offers a transcendent escape,” the website states.
The wellness center offers several treatments including sound bath meditation, massages, caviar facials, and gem stone therapy mud wraps.
There is also a state-of-the-art fitness center, which provides guests with access to cardio equipment and weights, as well as private training sessions and yoga and pilates classes.
Patrons who want to dine inside the serene escape can make a reservation at the Dining Room & Terrace, which serves seasonal cuisine with a coastal inspiration.
Stand-out dishes on the dinner menu include 58-day dry-aged prime New York strip loin, harissa honey fried chicken and bucatini pomodoro.
El Encanto is about a 20-minute drive from where Gomez and Blanco exchanged wedding rings at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Sept. 27.
Guests at their star-studded wedding included Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, Rudd, Martin and Short.
The “Calm Down” singer said “I do” in a custom Ralph Lauren halter-neck satin dress with embroidery.
Blanco, for his part, walked down the aisle in a bespoke tuxedo of the same label and a diamond-encrusted watch valued to be worth $1 million.
One night prior, they celebrated their rehearsal dinner at a mansion in Hope Ranch in Goleta Valley, Calif.
