Alila Ventana Big Sur

Another spectacular and private option located on a mile from the venue is Ventana Big Sur. This property is very secluded up in the hills and across the highway from the equally-spectacular Post Ranch Inn. Rooms have views of the surrounding forest and feel sheltered in and amongst giant California redwoods. The hotel features a pool, spa, exceptional dining and activities including hiking and even falconry (Theo’s favorite).

One of the most luxurious options anywhere on the California coast. Rooms aren’t cheap, but the experience is memorable.
