Sometimes one can forget how good it feels to be really relaxed. Two new packages at Ventana encourages individuals to do just that. With the magnificent setting of the Big Sur Coast as a backdrop and the surrounding comfort and luxury of a Ventana guest room, stress and cares of everyday routines simply drop away.

Everything about Ventana is designed to transport guests to a place of tranquility. Greeted at check-in with an offer of a glass of wine, electric carts whisk guests and their luggage silently through gardens and redwoods to the comfort of their room. Each morning begins with a hearty and satisfying Big Sur continental breakfast, while every afternoon the popular wine and cheese reception brings guests together for conversation or a good book by the fire.
The Spa at Ventana offers a variety of custom treatments from massages to facials, in a beautiful facility surrounded by nature. Cielo, Ventana's acclaimed restaurant, is an forgettable stroll through the woods, offering contemporary cuisine and spectacular 50-mile views of the Big Sur coast.
