Alila Ventana Big Sur: Our Top Pick for Luxury Escapes in California's Iconic Big Sur

Where is it? Nestled in Big Sur, California (USA), right along the legendary Highway 1.

Why choose it? This adults-only (18+) retreat is the ultimate hideaway for romantic getaways—gazing into each other's eyes or soaking in the Pacific Ocean views—or solo reflection amid breathtaking natural beauty.

What to do here? Stay in one of 59 stylish rustic rooms, or elevate your experience with glamping amid towering redwood sequoias (photo). Unwind in outdoor Japanese hot baths, join neuro-acoustic meditation or charcoal drawing sessions, and embark on photo treks through Big Sur and the national park.
