^{ADVENTURE AT EVERY TURN
(AND WITH EVERY STAY)}

Ventana Big Sur is a place for exploration both outside and within, whether it’s a hike through the breathtaking natural landscape just beyond your door or a creative journey that expands your perspective. Our complimentary Ventana Signature Activities, included with all stays, are designed to empower you on whichever path you choose.  

These semi-private experiences offer ample distancing for safety—and ample enjoyment, too. Please reserve activities prior to your stay by contacting your Leisure Concierge. All offerings and schedules are subject to change. Participation numbers are limited.

Yoga

Each morning, we offer a complimentary yoga class to help you greet the new day and awaken fully in mind, body, and spirit. All yoga classes, whether private or small group, will have additional spacing. Yoga mats are also available for in-suite practice.

Meditation

There’s no better place than the forest for quieting the mind and finding balance. Join our instructor under a protective canopy of redwoods for a time of reflection and mindfulness.

Tai Chi

Strengthen your spirit and reduce stress with this ancient Chinese practice, led by an expert instructor each morning in a scenic spot overlooking the Pacific.

S'mores

Enjoy nightly s’mores among the redwoods at private firepits set perfectly for two.

Property Hike

This guided low-intensity hike, perfect for all skill and fitness levels, is a 1.3-mile loop that winds through the Ventana property. You’ll see redwoods and other local flora, and maybe even Big Sur wildlife such as condors, eagles, and red-tailed hawks! The hike leaves from the lobby each morning at 10.

Social [Distancing] Hour

Join us every afternoon from 4-5 on the Social House upper deck, where you can soak up the sun, feel the coastal breeze, and enjoy the selected drink of the day. It could be a craft cocktail, a rosé tasting, or anything else our mixologists can think up. There’s plenty of space—and plenty of scenery, too.
