Ojai Valley Inn, the historic resort located on 220 acres in the idyllic Ojai Valley, debuts a new design of its iconic villa, Casa Elar, alongside a brand-new luxury experience featuring private flights, a champagne and caviar experience, golf and spa treatments, and more in collaboration with Southern California-based private charter company, Sun Air Jets.
Originally built in 2006 by the hotel’s owners as a private residence, Casa Elar has evolved into a popular destination for family reunions, intimate weddings, and celebrity escapes. The 10,147-square-foot villa’s new design was dreamt up collaboratively between hotel ownership and Interior Designer Natalie Konstant, reflecting a bright, airy, and modern version of the Tuscan-style villa with classic California style touches. The 44,000-square-foot compound is sprinkled with fruit groves and wild herbs, including olive and lemon trees, alongside aromatic rosemary and lavender.
Casa Elar features two primary suites with his and hers bathrooms; two large bedrooms with full bathrooms and fireplaces; a private guest apartment over the garage with a full living, kitchen, and dining space; a Great Room and dining room that seats up to 14; a library and entertainment room; spacious chef’s kitchen; and indoor and outdoor fitness areas. Throughout the space, custom local art graces the walls alongside archival photos of Ojai Valley Inn, hand-carved wood furniture, and other tasteful finishes from Ojai-based furniture stores and showrooms including Dekor & Co., Down Home Furnishings, and Cercana. For outdoor relaxation, the villa boasts an outdoor pool and spa area featuring sweeping views of Ojai Valley, a barbecue terrace with a stone Mugnaini pizza oven and gas grill, and four hand-carved limestone fountains.
To celebrate Casa Elar’s renovation, Ojai Valley Inn has teamed up with Southern California-based private charter company, Sun Air Jets, to debut an ultra-luxe escape package inclusive of round-trip chartered private flights and ground transportation; a three-night stay at Casa Elar; a Petrossian Caviar Masterclass and Champagne tasting; unlimited golf at Ojai Valley Inn’s award-winning championship course; one spa treatment per guest at Spa Ojai; in-flight amenities; and more. The exclusive package starts at $60,000 and accommodates up to ten guests.
“We’re excited to debut a refreshed look at Casa Elar, Ojai Valley Inn’s private villa retreat that feels like a luxurious home away from home,” says Chris Kandziora, Senior Vice President of Ojai Valley Inn.” We worked closely with both ownership and Interior Designer Natalie Konstant of Konstant Home, to create modern spaces that stay true to the elegant simplicity of the Ojai Valley. We’re equally excited to introduce this refreshed look of Casa Elar alongside Sun Air Jets and bring our distinguished guests an exclusive, private travel experience at Ojai Valley Inn.”
