Learn more about Malibu

Catch a wave at Surfrider Beach, where perfect breaks have made this stretch of sand legendary among board riders since the 1950s. The Getty Villa houses ancient treasures in a setting so Mediterranean you'll forget you're in California. Hike through wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains, where trails reveal panoramic ocean views worth every drop of sweat. At Paradise Cove, toes-in-the-sand dining elevates the simple fish taco to transcendent experience. Point Dume offers dramatic cliff-top vistas where, between December and May, migrating gray whales pass remarkably close to shore. The Malibu Pier provides both excellent fishing and the perfect sunset selfie backdrop, though locals prefer the less crowded Carbon Beach for their evening constitutionals.

Malibu Country Inn

8/10 Good
"great location, peaceful, quiet and beautiful! has sea and mountain views. Staff was helpful and friendly. Our room had no phones, broken blinds, no hot water heating kettle and a leaking fridge, was not cleaned inside. Balcony was not cleaned. We had to check out early, just one day: due to flood warnings and coastal high waves. But the hotel refused to refund the money. very bad. Hotels .com does not help either. Has good parking and good view, great location."

10/10 Excellent
"We had an excellent stay at SA Beach #8. The location on Carbon Beach is hard to beat—the ocean views from the suite and private balcony are incredible, and having direct beach access made the entire stay feel special. We stayed for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was the perfect setting. Waking up to the Pacific, having breakfast overlooking the water, and being able to walk straight down to the beach made for a memorable morning. The suite was clean, comfortable, beautifully designed, and exactly as represented. The Stay Awhile team was also extremely responsive and accommodating, including helping us with early access, a late checkout, and other requests throughout the stay. Great property, great location, and excellent service. We would absolutely stay here again. 5/5."
