Welcome to Malibu

 
Peaceful community with scenic views close to LA
 
Hugging nearly 30 miles of beautiful, sandy beaches in Los Angeles County is Malibu, a sparkling seaside oasis nestled along the Pacific Coast. With a central location close to world-class dining and Los Angeles’ metropolitan amenities yet tucked far enough into the coastal hillside to offer a sense of seclusion, it’s no surprise Malibu has become one of the most coveted areas of prime real estate in western Los Angeles. Modern beachfront homes with sprawling pools, cliffside estate retreats, and multi-story single-family homes on spacious lots created by world-class luxury designers are nestled along Malibu’s coastline and rolling hills. Stunning views, salty breezes, and sunshine are found around every corner, transforming this coastal city into a Pacific paradise customarily found only in magazines.

What to Love

 
  • Sense of privacy without forgoing access to restaurants and shopping
  • Less than 25 miles away from Los Angeles 
  • Mediterranean climate
  • Small-town atmosphere

Local Lifestyle

 
While Malibu living includes a home by or near the sea, life in this California community is more than that. Locals have a deep connection with nature, often spending their days boating, hiking, or walking along the shore. From its unblemished coast to its quiet residential neighborhoods and quaint commercial district with locally-owned shops and restaurants, there’s a semblance of tranquility anywhere you go.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

 
Celebrate a special occasion at Geoffrey’s Malibu, an upscale restaurant serving California-style fare in an immersive dining experience where every guest enjoys panoramic views of Malibu’s coastline. Enjoy five-star dishes like Maine lobster, prime rib, and grilled swordfish on a spacious patio surrounded by lush, botanical flora at this iconic eatery. 
 
Locals and visitors love Broad Street Oyster Company’s curated menu of classic seafood cuisine. Lobster rolls, clam linguine, and a fine selection of oysters are just a few of the items served in this casual, nautical-themed restaurant. 
 
At Spruzzo’s Restaurant & Bar, guests are offered top-of-the-line Italian favorites in an oceanside setting with a heated patio and full-service bar. Enjoy light options like fresh salads and hearty soups, or relish in palatable sensations like lobster ravioli, spaghetti carbonara, and gourmet pizzas. 
 
Visit famed eatery and celebrity hotspot Nobu Malibu, just one of Iron Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s incredible locales. Enjoy Japanese delicacies with a California flair, including Wagyu flown in from Kyushu, Japan, an acclaimed omakase tasting menu, and the freshest nigiri, sushi, and sashimi, in a modern, beachfront space overlooking the glistening waters of the Pacific. 
 
Set right on the coastline of Carbon Beach, also known as “Billionaires Beach,” Little Beach House Malibu is part of Soho House’s global network of creatives, thinkers, and innovators. As a member, have a drink at their indoor bar, whose walls are decorated with contemporary artworks, dine in their Dining Room, which has an open fireplace and ocean views, or take in the salt air and warm breeze on their shaded terrace. 

Things to Do

 
The perfect mix of sunshine, salt water, and sand is just steps away at Malibu Lagoon State Beach. A plethora of fun activities is available for beachgoers. Join a sandcastle building competition, enjoy a picnic lunch, take on the beach’s famous waves with a surfboard, or simply stroll along the water’s edge. 
 
Just east of Malibu Lagoon State Beach is Malibu Pier, a popular spot for fishing. Bait a hook and relax while taking in stunning ocean views or stop inside Ranch at the Pier, a quaint store offering an eclectic assortment of goods, including fishing gear, apparel, surfboards, body care products, snacks, and more. 
 
Recreational enthusiasts flock to Point Dume State Beach for a day in Mother Nature. Its beach access, cliffs, and rocky coves create an ideal backdrop for hiking, swimming, surfing, and scuba diving.
