Alila Ventana Big Sur, All Inclusive Adults Only

48123 Highway One
Big Sur, 93920
United States

With 59 secluded suites featuring expansive balconies, 160 magnificent acres of natural splendor on the rugged Pacific coast, and amenities and activities both private and purposeful, Ventana embodies the notion that space is luxury.

This is a place where everyone can find what they seek, from romance and emotional connection to perspective and solitary reflection.

And with so much change in the air, so much in Big Sur remains as it has always been—and as it is meant to be. The towering redwood forests. The crashing sea down below. The supportive, nurturing environment that fosters meaning, strengthens relationships, and encourages you to define your own unique path. Nothing can change the special feeling that rises within you at Ventana Big Sur—and soon, you’ll feel it once more.

    The Sur House Restaurant

    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. We have implemented additional measures for your safety and comfort, but rest assured that the 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.

    Our Culinary team takes 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.

    A 10,000-bottle cellar of small-production Central Coast wines has been carefully assembled by a team of local vintners and The Sur House sommelier. Craft cocktails and a curated selection of beer, along with a specialty bar menu, also are offered.

    The elegant, rustic setting, highlighted by natural wood interiors and furnishings, is every bit as awe-inspiring as the cuisine. And the expanded ocean-view patio and windows all overlook Mother Nature’s own melting pot of Big Sur—on one side, the infinite ocean and rugged coast beckon; on the other are mountains, sprawling redwoods and wildlife.

    Big Sur Smokehouse

    Where BBQ's Best meets West!

    Welcome to Big Sur Smokehouse, where Carolina meets California—with plenty of Texas and Kansas City mixed in for good measure. We’re the newest barbecue experience on Highway 1, and while we don’t take reservations, we do create smoky temptation.

    Where the road bends and it smells like goodness, just look for the little red homestead.

    ***The Big Sur Smokehouse is currently closed for the winter season and scheduled to reopen Spring 2021
