Ventana Inn & Spa in Big Sur, California
Imagine the cool beauty of a morning on the sea, the crisp salt-tinged air invigorating your senses as the sun rises over the lush hills of Central California, and you will picture the fabulous Ventana Inn & Spa. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, on 213 verdant acres in Big Sur, the rustic elegance of this stunning resort allows it to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, creating a sense of true tranquility and relaxation. Bright and charming rooms are a wonderful blend of sleek modern luxury and the charm of a country cabin, with a breezy open design that allows a seamless transition from indoors to out. Gorgeous tiled or hardwood floors lead past plush beds and picture windows, out to your own private deck with sweeping views of the coast. Complete with an elegant bathroom and deep soaking tub, as well as wonderful and friendly service, your stay at Ventana Inn & Spa will leave you refreshed, rejuvenated, and at complete peace.
On your first day, wake to the gentle sounds of the coast, and take part in a yoga or pilates class before heading out for a fabulous day. Enjoy a guided hike through the redwood forest and gaze upon shimmering waterfalls and breathtaking ocean views, then return to the resort for a relaxing afternoon wine and cheese reception. Venture out to Pfeffer Big Sur State park or Andrew Molera State Park for a day of hiking, or mountain bike along the Big Sur River and miles of gorgeous trails. Later, take a casual stroll through the many wonderful art galleries in Big Sur, and shop for international and local works at the Hawthorne Gallery, Big Sur Arts Center, or the Cast Gallery Big Sur. That afternoon, after a wonderful day in the mountains, stretch out next to one of the two pools, one of which is clothing-optional, and soak in the delicious sunlight before evening falls. Before dinner, pamper yourself with a trip to the Spa at Ventana where you will melt under the practiced hands of a masseuse. With the stars shining brilliantly over the coast sit down to a fabulous meal, featuring gourmet international cuisine with hints of both mountain fare and the Pacific-rim, and relax away the night in the serene embrace of Ventana Inn & Spa.

Reviews for Ventana Inn & Spa
So pretty and nice. Love the property and the service. The only thing that feels off is the guide on the hotel-provided guided walk was super aggressive about tips. He spent the whole walk talking about people who didn't tip him.

Stayed here before when doing a road trip down the coast and had the best time at the Ventana.At the end of our holiday this hotel really shone out and we vowed to return. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the log style rooms nestle gently into the surrounding landscape.The rooms are in keeping with the great outdoors decorated with pine and luxury stone bathrooms.The balcony had a hot tub overlooking the forest and a log fire was available for cozy nights in .The restaurant was exceptional with delicious food and good service , a shuttle picks you up from your room and drop you off.Breakfast was good but didn't seem as slick and friendly as our previous stay . The pools and sauna area are perfect to relax and open late for a dip and some stargazing.Staff are charming and always on hand to help out . A tour of the grounds is offered to spot wildlife and well worth going on after breakfast.

Awesome stay. My wife and I stayed here for one night during our California trip. We felt welcomed by the staff upon arrival and it never ended. Property was beautiful. Room was large with plenty of amenities. We recommend the bath house and the nature walk. We had room service for dinner and it was outstanding. When we return to California we will return to Ventana for a longer stay next time.

The smells, the sounds, the views. Ventana has it all. It's The only place in the states where we can actually relax. The food is incredible and we love the hiking in the area. Wine and cheese hour is fun as is breakfast in our robes. This is the perfect place to feel pampered.

Ventana is gorgeous. The property has incredible views and Big Sur is a magical place. The staff is friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was the scheduled yoga was not acutally yoga, most of us who showed up left. Our view was up against a mountain so wasn't much of anything. The fireplace was a very nice touch! Peaceful place. Still very expensive for what it is. The lack of places in Big Sur definately lets them charge a premium... but it's worth the trip.
