Experience the refreshing feel of a hike through the woods with a Pine Forest Body Polish or have your spiritual colors read for you!

Located on 243-acres in the heart of Big Sur, Ventana Inn and Spa is made up of unique one-and two-story buildings in a popular Northern California wilderness. In fact, for more than 20 years the spa's elegance has drawn famous guests to the region including Barbra Streisand, Goldie Hawn, and Francis Ford Coppola, since its opening in 1975. The inn and spa boasts classic amenities such as a small fitness center, a rustic library, a four star restaurant called Cielo (serves tasty California cuisine) and spa tubs. And you won't be able to resist hiking the grounds and enjoying the fresh air and forest. There are two outdoor pools at Ventana Inn and Spa, including the famous clothing-optional pool and deck, and next to each pool are Japanese hot baths, open all day and night, so you can soak in the moonlight under the stars.

Guests to Ventana Inn and Spa will feel the vibes of relaxation from the moment they set foot in their guest room, which are all located in natural-wood buildings along winding paths lined with wildflowers, hammocks and hand-carved benches. The rooms feature a private terrace or balcony overlooking the ocean or forest, a wood-burning fireplace, and some have a jacuzzi and/or a cathedral ceiling.

When you're ready to break away from the beautiful surroundings and indulge in a spa treatment, consider starting with the Ventana Signature Facial, which uses products made from organic fruits and flowers to balance and restore harmony and health to your skin. The El Sur Grande Hot Stone Therapy is excellent for relieving muscle and joint pain as are aromatherapy massages, and both can be performed in the inn's beautiful outdoor Zen Garden. But the real indulgence at Ventana Inn and Spa comes in the form of the BODYCOFFEE Pure Bliss Experience, which helps you detoxify with the help of Green coffee, decreasing cellulite and uneven skin texture using Dead Sea salts, rosemary, mint and citrus. And if you like the New Age, try one of Ventana's Astrology Readings or experience a color reading and gain some insight into your busy Ventana-visiting future.
