Description

Deep in the forest with spectacular ocean views.
The luxurious adults-only Ventana Inn & Spa was built as a place to escape complete with roaring fireplaces, Japanese hot baths, a rustic restaurant, two pools and plush bedrooms (which include binoculars to help spot migrating whales). Big Sur is famed for its stunning, rugged beauty and whilst there are some remarkable hikes to many of the great beaches, it’s also just an hour’s drive from Hearst Castle and right on the path of plenty of redwood nature trails.
