Framed by nature and surrounded by some of California's most magnificent state parks, Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort sits perched above the Pacific Ocean and affords magnificent views of the Big Sur coastline and the wave bashed beaches below. A luxurious adults only retreat, this makes for an ideal spot to unwind and forget about your troubles as you indulge in the fantastic spa facilities or acquaint yourself with the great outdoors.

The hotel itself has been designed to make the most of the views and wherever you stand, whether on your private deck, by the pool or even in the restaurant, you can soak in the scenery and look out to sea or enjoy fantastic stargazing by night. Rooms and suites are sophisticated and emanate rustic luxury, keeping in harmony with the hotel's natural setting. Furnishings are comfortable and the overall feel is cozy with fireplaces and living areas featuring throughout, whilst some even boast private hot tubs and hammocks.

The Spa Alila is a standout feature, offering a range of specialized therapies, as well as massages, facials and body treatments. The two pools, one of which has a clothing-optional policy, come complete with Japanese soaking tubs and saunas to further promote relaxation. Dining too is an indulgent experience with a carefully crafted menu featuring Californian classics and rich with traditional American flavors. Locally sourced ingredients are used where possible and are complimented perfectly by a glass of wine selected from the award-winning list.

For the more adventurous traveler, Ventana Big Sur has introduced luxury glamping in a spectacular Redwood Canyon setting on the beautiful California coast. Placing you in the midst of nature, sleep under premium bedding in a safari-style tent and spend your evenings by the fire pit making s’mores and reminiscing of the day’s activities surrounded by towering redwood trees. Although the resort itself is adults only, the glamping site welcomes children.
