If you’re looking for panoramic ocean views, look no further. The vistas from this Malibu home’s floor-to-ceiling glass windows are stunning, as you can see. We love the main bedroom with its private terrace and marble en-suite bathroom. Outside, there’s a large sofa set around a fire pit, a ping pong table and a Jacuzzi for watching the sunset. And of course, Malibu Beach is just steps away. This home is located in south Malibu close to some excellent restaurants, shops and attractions. Other places of interest include Santa Monica, The Palisades, Topanga Canyon, and Venice Beach. But will you want to leave this wonderful spot?

Not far from the glitz and glam of Hollywood, this family home has plenty of space to stretch out. Between the private pool, basketball court, cinema room, and array of other amenities, you'll never be bored here. The design inside is cosy and modern, and a separate guest house with its own living area, kitchen, and bedroom makes this ideal for multi-generational groups. Encino may not be in the thick of the action, but Ventura Boulevard is lined with restaurants and shops. Plus, with private parking, you'll be able to easily explore by car.

California Attitude

This beautiful home is located in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles. Lounge by the pool and work on your tan, or start your day with a dip in the cool water. The outdoor kitchen and bar are just waiting for you to throw a get-together or special event, where you can whip up some burgers or a pizza while the drinks flow. There are plenty of hideaways in the vibrant green flora of the garden where you can curl up with a good book or appreciate the natural surroundings, or gather by the fire pit as the sun sets and enjoy a late-night snack. The kids can go wild in the play area, and your four-legged friends will love the garden. Watch the stars through the telescope or get some well-deserved rest in the master bedroom with its own fireplace – the hardest part about staying here is deciding how to spend your days.

This home places you in a quiet, residential area of Los Angeles. You'll be in easy walking or driving distance of a myriad of shops and eateries, or pack the car up and drive half an hour down to Santa Monica State Beach for a day on the golden sands that everyone can enjoy. No matter what you're hoping to get out of your holiday, this home is sure to help you make memories that will stay with you for years to come.

Get set to escape reality and embrace all things Los Angeles as you retreat to this modern villa with a defined style. This home is within a short driving distance of the trails of Topanga and the famous Universal City – an idyllic spot that's perfect for exploring the vibrant and dynamic city of Los Angeles.

Taking its influences from the visual art style, Vaporwave, 80s colour schemes are combined with luxurious contemporary designs to create a modern sanctuary. Feast your eyes upon the rich velvet sofas for sumptuous relaxation and neon light fittings for graphic mood lighting. The sleek marbled kitchen is a delight for those who are culinarily inclined, whilst the wet bar is a playful spot to shake up some cocktails. 

The outside is a real focal point here – while away the afternoon stretched out poolside, taking dips into your pristine pool to cool off. Come evening, fix your group a pitcher of margarita and enjoy it on the rooftop terrace, or sink into the hot tub for bubbly indulgence. 

Located so idyllically, you’ll have a myriad of cultural options to invest in, as well as a luscious base from which to explore them all. Spend the day gallery hopping – from LACMA to The Broad, to Hauser & Wirth. If you’re seeking nature – Topanga offers an oasis for hiking lovers with plenty of trails to explore, just a twenty-minute drive from your home.

Perched on the hills of Malibu with long views across the ocean, this home opens its doors to an exceptional stay in California. 

Surrounded by fruit orchards and lush gardens, it’s the kind of space that inspires a sense of freedom, ease and openness.

Friends and families will love gathering here – the communal spaces are designed to enrich daily living with lightness and joy. And whether you’re relaxing by the pool, sitting around the table or enjoying a movie night, there’s an inspiring presence to this home that makes you want to stay.

Nice to haves

This spectacular, gated Mediterranean-style home in Pacific Palisades has sweeping ocean, city, and mountain vistas. We love the large wrap-around balcony – it's perfect for a morning coffee or sundowner. Walls of bi-fold glass doors in the living and family rooms open to a fabulous garden with fountains, a sparkling pool and a jacuzzi. As the Californian light fades, sit by the fire pit with a glass of wine and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. This place is perfect for entertaining – there's a large media room with full surround sound to keep everyone occupied as well. 

The absolute highlight for us, though, is the large master bedroom with a walk-in closet, fireplace, automated curtains and a fantastic ensuite with jetted soaking tub and incredible views. There's a spacious separate office with room for assistants or filming with its own restroom and kitchenette too.
 
When you're ready to explore, Downtown Los Angeles is a twenty-five-minute drive, or sunbathe on Venice Beach, twenty minutes in the car. For architecture buffs, the Eames House, a landmark home built in 1949, is just a ten-minute ride.

Welcome to suburbia. This modern home encourages fresh-air hangouts thanks to time spent in the pool and outdoor kitchen. There's even a sports court here for some friendly competition. Beyond the aesthetic indoor highlights, we especially love the home theatre and recreation room. For practicality, a lift can make this space more accessible to guests, plus a cold-water shower awaits in the cabana. Tarzana's international restaurants are just a stroll away, and Topanga State Park offers scenic beauty for hikers.

Treat yourself to a luxurious stay in this contemporary LA sanctuary. From the open plan living area with a fire to the winer cellar and media room, this is the ideal setting for social gatherings. The bedrooms deliver everything you could need to relax and unwind, with special highlights including the private balcony in the main bedroom. Outside, there is a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a bar and a barbecue area. Private parking is available and your host is on hand to help organise a range of extra services – including a chauffeur, a private chef and spa treatments. It’s also just a short drive into the heart of Encino and the nearest amenities.

The Valley of Wonder

Playground

Taking inspiration from Tuscany and the Mediterranean, this home makes a tranquil retreat just a five-minute drive from Ventura Boulevard. Outside, the garden is decorated with fairy lights, creating the perfect atmosphere for summer barbecues and evening drinks. There's a private pool, a play area for children, and a basketball hoop out front if you're feeling sporty. Venture inside to unwind in front of the fire, or, better yet, cosy up in the home theatre for a movie night. With eight roomy bedrooms, including a sumptuous main suite, it's a great option for large families.

Escape the everyday and enjoy life by the beach with a stay in this Palisades home. Just moments from the water’s edge, you’ll be perfectly placed for strolls along the sand and leisurely afternoons on the private terrace. There is also a hot tub, a fire pit and an outdoor grill. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed but there’s plenty of space to stretch out, socialise or catch up on work. And when it comes to adventures further afield, follow hiking trails or head into nearby Santa Monica and Malibu.

Pacific Ocean views stretch as far as the eye can see at this stunning Malibu villa. An infinity pool overlooks the horizon, multiple balconies and outdoor seating areas offer spots to soak up the sunshine, and a poolside fire pit provides the perfect place to decompress come evening. The design is influenced by Feng Shui, with frameless floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the coastal environment (and sweeping panoramas) indoors. But when you're not soaking up the scenery, you can kick back in the Dolby Atmos home theatre for a family movie night. Even better, spend your downtime at County Line Beach – just across the PCH – or nearby Trancas Canyon and Zuma Beach, a short drive away.

Pacific Portrait

Access to Beach

Overlooking the pristine (and private) Livingstone Beach, this charming oceanfront home boasts an unbeatable location. With its coastal mountains, unspoiled coves, sweeps of golden sand and legendary surfing, Malibu has long been a favoured celebrity haunt, and you can see why. From the moment you step through the front door, your gaze is immediately drawn to that unbroken view out over the mighty Pacific Ocean, so why hang art on the walls when it's competing with the best Mother Nature has to offer? 

On the other hand, suppose you can bring yourself to tear your eyes away and appreciate the little details. In that case, there are two floors with stunning marble worktops and natural wooden cabinets in the kitchens, stylish mid-century furniture in the living areas and beautiful, sculpted chairs around the dining table. The bedrooms are set back from the beach and equipped with large, comfortable beds and decorated in soothing tones. But, in our opinion, the undoubted stars of the show are the gorgeous seafront decks, where you can check the surf before paddling out. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of jumping pods of dolphins and breaching whales that call Malibu home.

Radiating style, this architectural paradise is undoubtedly one of the more glamorous and unique homes in our Los Angeles edit. It's high above the Malibu surf, so you can soak up the sunshine while watching the changing moods of the Pacific. This home conquers indoor-outdoor living, with retracting glass doors opening up the interior to the elements, allowing you to feel the sea breeze while reading a good book from the floor-to-ceiling library. The open-concept kitchen, dining area and living room benefit from bespoke features like a marble fireplace, a dazzling chandelier, and an antique Asian wall screen. 

Beyond the luxurious home comforts, you'll find the local area to be full of life. Corral Beach only takes nine minutes to reach in the car and there are surfboards in the home that guests are free to borrow. Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area sits behind the home in the opposite direction if you want to see LA's wild beauty.

High up on a bluff in Malibu with some of the best far-reaching views of Southern California is this estate perfect for an extravagant retreat or destination wedding. Aside from the endless indoor-outdoor spaces to entertain at this home, its major highlights for us were the two grand pianos and a fully equipped recording studio that are all perfect for a professional rock-star, talent in the making, or a simple music enthusiast who wants to soak up the California creative vibe. For a celebrity-style event, tents are situated nearest the sea on the home’s ten sweeping acres. If it’s just a luxurious Malibu experience you have in mind, the pool and other endless amenities are not too shabby.

We are in love with this incredible Malibu Beach home designed by American DJ Skrillex. It has the most awesome Pacific Ocean views. Set down a gated private driveway in an acre of gorgeous grounds, it offers seclusion,  yet it has easy access to the beach. Tall windows open to sublime ocean-facing terraces – relax in the Californian sun by the sparkling pool. Or hit the home gym, then challenge someone to a foosball or table tennis match in the games room. If that all sounds a bit too energetic, there's a movie theatre to chill out in.

Mix up a margarita in the outdoor bar as the sun sets and gather around the stylish fire pit. There's so much we love about this home. It's hard to choose one thing, but if pressed, it would be the master bedroom with its own private lush outdoor area with an alfresco hot tub and rain shower – the Bali vibe is utterly gorgeous. There's a private casita too for those wanting more privacy. 

If you can tear yourself away from this Malibu Oasis, County Line Beach is a five-minute stroll, while Zuma Beach is a fifteen-minute drive away.

Wine Cellar

If pure escapism is what you’re after, it doesn’t come much better than this.
 
Tucked away behind the Pacific Coast Highway, this luxury Malibu homestay is the perfect setting for your next beach vacation in sunny California. Pack your bags for a long stay at this splendid property, where you’ll have access to endless luxury amenities and breath-taking views of the sparkling Pacific. From car rentals to spa services, there’s nothing your hosts can’t help you arrange here, so sit back and relax, cocktail in hand, while they handle the minutiae of your stay. 

If you want to get out and about, head down to County Line Beach – just a ten-minute walk away – for a day of sunbathing or make the twenty-four-minute drive to Cornell Winery & Tasting Room to sample some of the region’s best wines. Back at home, modern furniture has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure maximum comfort and conviviality, so why not settle in for an evening of socialising? Chat until the early hours, then head back to your room to get some rest before you wake up and do it all again tomorrow.

Ocean views, bright open space, luxurious furnishings, and three balconies. This gorgeous home is the perfect place for a Malibu getaway. Decadence sweeps through the home, with cast iron fireplaces, chandeliers, and wooden beamed ceilings. Topped off with restoration hardware, the interior of the home is jaw-droppingly impressive. While the decor is beautiful, there’s something to be said about the home’s three balconies and lush gardens. Sunbathe in the privacy of one balcony, before enjoying an afternoon cocktail by the fire pit on another. Sunsets aren’t to be missed here – the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are unmatched. Come dinnertime, the barbecue is ready to be fired up for a delicious feast. Or, let a private chef take the reins while you put your feet up with a glass of wine. 

When you want to explore, there’s something for everyone here, from hiking, to lounging on the beach, to heading into the city. You’re just steps away from the turquoise Malibu coastline. Or, head to Surfrider beach – a five-minute drive away – where you can try out surfing, kayaking, and windsurfing. If you fancy some of the city life, Beverly Hills is just a twenty-five-minute drive away. There, you can visit trendy restaurants and shop til you drop. There are also plenty of wine tours in the area, and Malibu Wine Hikes offers something different. Within twenty-four minutes from home, you can either hike or hop on a 4x4 through the ranch, spotting animals, learning about the history of the vineyards and of course, tasting lots of wine. 

Restoration Cream

Beautifully appointed, this Malibu paradise combines Japanese-inspired design, natural materials and sea views to create a sanctuary of zen and calm along the Pacific coast.

It's right on the beach, so you can spot sightings of dolphins dancing in the ocean or pelicans diving for breakfast while enjoying your morning coffee from the dreamy sunroom. In complete isolation and privacy, this home blurs the boundaries between indoor-outdoor living, with Shoji dividers, sliding doors, private terraces and beachfront patios that open the living spaces up to the LA surf. 

Find a sunny spot to unwind with a good book in the dotted sunrooms, or kick back on the front porch while soaking up the glistening sunshine. Outside, the gardens are an oasis of Japanese plants, waterfalls and comfy seating areas – including an earthly, stone outdoor bathroom for washing off those sandy toes. 

Beyond this luxurious home, you'll find Santa Monica, a fifteen-minute drive away, if you ever get bored of this enclave of bliss (unlikely, we know).

Get away from it all in the horse community of Old Agoura in this serene countryside villa. Accented with Spanish and Moroccan flair, there's a unique room for everyone in this family home – a sprawling master bedroom for parents and an enchanting space for the kids. Find a calming spot to read in the light-filled living room, benefitting from high vaulted ceilings, vast balcony windows, and plenty of green vistas beyond that creates a relaxing ambience inside. Outside, you have a vineyard in your own backyard, pretty alfresco dining areas, and lush orange trees to pick for your morning OJ. So whether you're wandering through the grapevines or enjoying lunch under the pergola, you'll feel a real sense of tranquillity and privacy here. Secluded yet conveniently located, when you're not lounging around in the garden, other lazy days are best spent on Malibu Beach – a thirty-minute drive away – while active types may opt for a thrilling day hiking the mountainous landscape nearby. Whatever you choose to see or do in the Californian sun, it's sure to leave you at one with nature. 


Old Agoura

When presented with a view of such beauty, the only response that can really do it justice is 'wow'. That was our reaction as we stood on one of the home's many balconies and gazed out at the endless Pacific Ocean. You don't even have to head outside to take in this stunning panorama, thanks to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that take up most of the walls. With your attention naturally drawn away from the home, it might take you a moment before you can appreciate just how well the interior has been put together. The cleansing white living area and handsome wood-panelled kitchen are both boosted by a collection of impressive accoutrements, including an inbuilt Bose sound system, Miele cooking appliances and a Jacuzzi bathtub. A little more low-key but no less appreciated are three sea kayaks and fishing poles that are also available for guests to use. To reach the beach, all you have to do is descend the stairs, pass the home's deck with alfresco dining area and hey presto, you're there. Countless hours of fun await, whether you're atop the waves or out exploring Santa Monica, which is less than a quarter of an hour's drive away.

There’s a terrace complete with a hot tub and knockout views of the undulating landscape. Inside, the place is kitted out with everything you need and the sauna really ramps up the relaxation. It’s worth noting the third bedroom is separate from the main house and in order to use the loo, you’ll need to go through the covered patio and living room to use the bathroom in the hallway. Location-wise, you’re not far from highways 101 and 118, and it’s less than an hour’s drive to Hollywood.
