About Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort - Adults Only
Tucked along the hills
This rustic luxury resort puts you in the middle of Big Sur among the dramatic hillsides that line up against State Highway 1. It's surrounded by thick forestry and affords a full view of the Pacific Ocean surf as it pounds into rocky outcroppings.
A drive along the coast
The white sands of Carmel River State Beach are 27 miles away, and the coastal-hugging scenery along the way is worth the drive. If you want to get even closer to nature, a 5-mile hike along North Coast Ridge Road starts at the resort and winds through the local wilderness.
Indulgent spa treatments
A seaweed body wrap or hot stone message at The Spa at Ventana are just 2 more ways to get in touch with nature. Big Sur’s earthy vibe also shines at The Restaurant at Ventana, where seasonal American cuisine and Central Coast wines are served in a lodge-style setting.
Surrounded by ocean
The 60 cabin-like guestrooms at Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort - Adults Only feature terraces with panoramic views of the ocean or the woods. All rooms feature amenities like high-speed Internet, deep soaking tubs, and Egyptian cotton bedding.

Recent reviews
Superb 9.0 From 86 reviews
It was a wonderful hotel and gorgeous part of the world
From the drive up the mountain to the moment you leave, you will find yourself in a state of tranquility and relaxation that is unmatched. The views. The service. The wine and cheese happy hour. The spa. The guided trail walks through red woods. Yoga. We can't wait to come back.
The experience was exquisite. The service was impeccable. There was a hefty amount of disinformation that circulated when it came to the area surrounding in regards to road closures and general state of the highway. This was simply the time of year and there were storms but we would have been unable to see any of the sites or go hiking if we hadn't ventured out on our own in contradiction to what most people were telling us, in order to see for ourselves if HWY 1 was indeed closed. The hotel was wonderful though and the trip was a success.
This Hotel was great! I have never stayed in a hotel where I have never wanted to leave my hotel room. From the fireplace to the view, to the service and staff and the environment surrounding this hotel I was in awe. They treated us so special. Big Sur is truly a beautiful place but Ventanas made our first trip to Big Sur magical.
Beautifully equipped room. Views, service all A plus.
