Learn more about hotels in Malibu

Immersed in the verdant Santa Monica Mountains region of Los Angeles County, California, Malibu is a luxurious beach city that sits peacefully 30 miles west of Downtown Los Angeles. Along its dazzling 21-mile stretch of Pacific Ocean coast, Malibu sparkles with warm Mediterranean-style climates and an alluring mix of celebrity glamour and traditional neighbourhood charm.

Boasting a population of just over 10,000 residents, this beach city is home to renowned sandy stretches including Zuma Beach, Surfrider Beach, and Point Dume Beach. Equally captivating are historic landmarks that tell tales of the city's pre-colonial roots and Spanish exploration epochs, such as Malibu Creek State Park's iconic Adamson House.

Alongside natural allure and historic charm, Malibu is ever evolving. Its 20th-century development saw it transformed from the ceramic tile hub of Malibu Potteries into a prime Hollywood hideaway and scientific research ground, housing the first successful laser model demonstration in 1960. Today, the city takes steps to combat environmental issues, preserve its pristine coastlines and ensure sustainable development.
