Alila Ventana Big Sur
To cap off my time in California, we made a road trip to Napa Valley to Big Sur. The final part of the drive was beautiful as we were on Highway 1 and got to see the coastline. After a stop to see Bixby Bridge, we were on our way to check into Alila Ventana Big Sur.
Alila Ventana Big Sur is a rustically romantic, adults-only resort that is situated on 160 acres of redwood forests and meadows. Every accommodation has a private balcony or patio, and a Big Sur Spa Suite has a private hot tub to enjoy.
Alila Napa Valley
Located in St. Helena, Alila Napa Valley is ideally situated for easy access to great wineries and dining options. Alila Napa Valley is an adults-only retreat that was named among the top three resorts in Northern California by Conde Nast Traveler.
While staying at Alila Napa Valley, guests will enjoy a mix of modern and traditional decor within luxurious accommodations. Suites overlook the vineyards and historic Beringer estate, which is easily accessible via a footbridge.
Meadowood Napa Valley
I was lucky enough to recently visit Napa Valley for a trip with colleagues. For my first two nights I stayed at Meadowood Napa Valley, which is situated among 250 beautiful acres. Nestled among the hillsides, Meadowood is a private retreat for visitors to the area.
During my time at Meadowood, I dined at Forum and took advantage of their fantastic in-room dining options. The Restaurant at Meadowood is currently closed, with plans to reopen with the rest of the property in 4 - 5 years.
