Thank you so much to our guest Frances for this wonderful 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay 🌄

“The hilltop setting offers stunning views, and the sunsets are absolutely beautiful. Everything is impeccably clean, and the property is lovingly maintained. It’s only a quick drive into town, so you can easily enjoy Ojai’s shops and restaurants, then return to the serenity of the inn at the end of the day. That balance is what makes this place so special...I can’t recommend Ojai Retreat & Inn highly enough.”

There’s just something about Ojai — the mountains, trees, golden light, and energy — that makes you pause and inhale a little deeper 🌿 For decades, people of many faiths, backgrounds, and walks of life have been drawn to this valley as a place for reflection, connection, and exploring ideas that matter.

That spirit is at the heart of the Ojai Retreat Cultural Center, founded in 1993. Through cultural and educational events, we welcome artists, musicians, speakers, authors, and thought-leaders who invite us to consider everything from world peace and human connection to our shared future.

On International Day of Peace, we’re grateful to offer a serene setting for gatherings and conversations that encourage understanding and help create a more harmonious world 🕊️

Imagine saying “I do” with the mountains as your backdrop 🌅

Set on a secluded, wooded hilltop, Ojai Retreat offers three outdoor spaces for weddings and intimate celebrations, each with its own setting and character.

⛰️ The Mountainview Patio opens to sweeping views of the Ojai Valley and surrounding mountains — a beautiful setting for a ceremony, dinner, or dancing under the stars.

🌄 The Pink Moment Terrace offers another unforgettable vantage point, especially as the landscape takes on Ojai’s signature golden-pink glow at sunset.

⛲️The Waterfall Garden offers something more intimate, with lush greenery and the peaceful sound of flowing water.

With the full-property package, all 12 guest rooms are yours for two nights, so your wedding party can stay together and enjoy the whole experience from wedding rehearsal to last dance 💍

We can also connect you with local wedding planners, caterers, and other trusted vendors to help bring the details together 💫
