Read moreWhen you reach the edge of the continent, where the sky, the sea, the mountains and the redwoods all converge, you find a place of unmatched beauty and tranquility. You feel the pull that has drawn artists and thinkers for centuries. And you're enveloped by the same inspiration to discover, (dis)connect and create.
You've reached Alila Ventana Big Sur, an adults only enclave tucked among the forests in one of the most iconic and dramatic landscapes on Earth.
It's a place where you see the world, and even yourself, a little bit differently. Where you can find your center, soothe your body and stir your imagination. And where romantics, visionaries and seekers find the fuel that feeds their souls.
The Sur House, high above the Pacific where the forest, mountains, and sea converge, now features a more spacious seating plan with fewer tables—along with greater exclusivity, as the restaurant is reserved for Ventana overnight guests during breakfast and dinner periods. Our new inclusive model enhances the experience even further; meals are included with your stay, and upgraded options such as alcoholic beverages are available for separate purchase. Ocean views from the terrace are as breathtaking as ever, and so is the Big Sur-inspired cuisine, which features fresh ingredients from our expansive organic garden.
Here, the culinary team takes their inspiration from this rich and fertile region, showcasing Big Sur's seasonal bounty through modern American cuisine. It’s deeply rooted in the unique styles and flavors of California's Central Coast—the perfect blend of classic preparations and contemporary flair.
