Ventana Inn & Spa The Experience Big Sur, Central Coast
In the mountains above the sea is a place of extraordinary beauty, Ventana Inn & Spa. In Spanish, Ventana means window, and no more fitting name could be chosen. Ventana Inn & Spa is a window to the dramatic vistas of the Pacific. It is a window to the green and gold flowered hills of the rugged Big Sur Coast.
Relaxation, reflection...these are fitting activities at Ventana. The very air induces a sense of serenity and well-being. Should you wish to pursue an activity away from the Inn, you will find a beautiful world to explore just a few steps or minutes away.
