[Award Alert] Book Now: Alila Ventana Big Sur Suites Open Across Several Dates

It is no secret that Alila Ventana Big Sur is a bucket list destination amongst award travelers. This all-inclusive luxury resort, nestled along California’s coastline, is as beautiful as it is expensive.

What’s not so easy is finding decent award availability — that’s where we come in.

We’ve found solid availability scattered over the next 12 months, with some standard rooms starting at just 45,000 World of Hyatt points — and even wider availability for suites.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Rare Alila Ventana Availability

The Alila Ventana Big Sur is located in Big Sur, California, perched on a hill overlooking the beautiful Pacific coastline. The hotel is stunning, but this luxury property is extra special because you can book it with points, and it’s all-inclusive.

Aside from Miraval properties, points and miles fans don’t have too many options when looking for an all-inclusive vacation in the U.S. While the price does not include alcohol, it does include everything else you might need.

The only downside to this property is that finding award availability can be extremely difficult. With cash rates often over $3,000 per night, snagging a room (for 2 people) for only 45,000 World of Hyatt points is a steal, especially when you read what is included, and can apply Suite Upgrade Awards (SUAs) to your stay.

Right now, we are seeing a few dates available starting in June 2025 at 45,000 points, but the majority of availability is for suites from January through June 2026.

With cash rates creeping up around $2,900 after taxes for the same dates, using points for a suite is a no-brainer.

For just 66,000 points per night, you’re redeeming your World of Hyatt points at a rate of 4.4 cents each for this 2-night stay, which is almost 3x our valuation of World of Hyatt points of 1.5 cents each.

Finding Award Availability

There is no arguing that finding this availability can be frustrating. Fortunately, we have done most of the heavy lifting, so now you can narrow in on some dates that work for you.

We recommend starting with a free tool like Rooms.aero, PointsYeah, or MaxMyPoints, which will make searching large parameters much easier. Much of the award availability we are seeing is for 2 nights, so be sure to add that setting during your searches.

Once you find dates that work for you, you can transfer some points from Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Rewards to your Hyatt account and start planning your trip to Big Sur! And don’t forget, you won’t need to pay taxes or resort fees when booking award stays with Hyatt, which makes booking with points even sweeter.

Final Thoughts

The Alila Ventana Big Sur remains one of our absolute favorite Hyatt properties — and its popularity continues to rise.

We’ve found not only standard award nights available for multiple consecutive days, but also sought-after suites bookable with points. Suites can be reserved outright for 66,000 points or by applying a suite upgrade award to a standard booking at 45,000 points.
