Romantic Hotel Big Sur

My favorite in the Monterey Carmel area. – Lunch and a stroll at the Ventana Inn. They have an outdoor patio that overlooks the Pacific. Ventana Inn is a pricey resort and spa but you can experience the feel of it and the beautiful view of the Pacific with a very reasonably priced lunch on the patio. Then afterwards take the stroll on the path back toward the resort or up the hill behind the restaurant. If you can afford it, spend the night there for one of the most relaxing (and romantic) places on the coast.

Nestled on a hillside overlooking Big Sur’s dramatic Pacific coastline, Ventana offers the ultimate in accommodations for those seeking a romantic getaway, luxurious escape or a relaxing vacation. Spacious suites, villas and guest rooms are elegantly rustic with thoughtful appointments. Located on 243 acres in the heart of Big Sur, the Inn’s unique one-and two-story buildings blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings.

Award-winning Cielo restaurant offers inspired lunch and dinner menus with “views to forever” of the ocean and rugged Big Sur coastline. The restaurant features a legendary terrace with outdoor fireplace. Relax by one of two pools, soak in Japanese hot baths, re-center at Allegria spa or just contemplate the sky from your own private hammock. Complimentary daily yoga classes and a sumptuous Big Sur breakfast complete the Big Sur experience at Ventana.
