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.

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.

Access to Beach

Beach Essentials

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).

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.




Mountains of Luxury

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.

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?

The Infinite Sea

XBox

Breakfast Included

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

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. And with infinite facets to discover, this is a wonderful place to experience the richness and beauty of life. 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. 

Days can be spent following the Pacific Coast Highway to the beautiful hiking trails and beaches of this coastline – Escondido Beach is only a four–minute drive away. And for a touch of retail therapy – Malibu Country Mart is only a ten–minute drive.

Private Pool

Outdoor Kitchen

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.

Mediterranean Manor

Ice Machine

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

Jacuzzi

Sauna / Steam Room

Underfloor Heating

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

Nearby Studio City & Universal Studios, this estate is a nice choice for large families or group get-togethers who want to get out and explore some of LA's hot tourist spots. You'll be in northern Topanga, within easy access to the 101 freeway so you can skirt around town in a jiffy. This home certainly won't win any prizes on the character front as it lacks a consistent design aesthetic, but it's huge and comfortably sleeps 14 – so perhaps it'll be just the ticket for your large group. 

Muchos Amigos

We are really smitten with this stunning beach-front home. Charming coastal interiors, a massive kitchen, twenty-foot high ceilings, a hot tub, ocean views galore – it’s hard to know where to stop. This is an ideal home for a large group of friends or family, looking to spend quality time with one another in a peaceful location. And for those that want to get out and explore, it’s just a two-minute walk to great grocery stores and restaurants. Oh, did we mention that guests have access to a private beach? We’ll leave you with that thought. 

Beauty and the Beach

Joan Didion once wrote of Malibu, stating that its very name is a ‘kind of shorthand for easy living’. While much has changed since the days Didion lived in a beach house nearby, this basic truth remains – and this beautiful and secluded home with access to a private beach is the perfect place to experience the ‘easy living’ for yourself. 

What could be more idyllic than stepping out onto a vast terrace directly facing the ocean, listening to the waves gently rolling in below and admiring the views of Catalina Island? Here, the ocean and sunshine are part of the décor – thanks to the huge windows, you’ll be able to catch the glimpse of them from every part of the house. Step inside and get immediately embraced by the warm and welcoming ambience – we love the light, comfy furnishings which invite you to kick off your shoes and relax with a good book (Didion?) and a glass of wine in hand. Rustle up delicious meals in the modern kitchen and enjoy them with your friends and family at the handsome dining table. To keep things cosy no matter the weather, there is also a charming fireplace here. 

Step into the world of sweet dreams, courtesy of the bright and plush bedrooms, which carry the promise of restful sleep. Welcome a new day with a cup of coffee on the deck, where lush plants and comfy garden furniture will tempt you to pass those lazy afternoons with friends. There is even a fire pit here for those Malibu nights – why not do some stargazing or head down to the beach for a bonfire. During the day you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to local activities – from surfing those world-renowned waves to kite surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. If you're lucky, you'll spot dolphins playing in the water right in front of the house.  


Quiet Days in Malibu 

Single-Level Home

Nestled in the heart of Encino, this home invites you to live like a local during your stay in LA. The warmth of the neighbourhood is felt throughout this homely and lovingly curated home. As you walk through the door, you are welcomed by the light and spacious interiors. A soothing palette of white with hints of colour, ensure the open-plan living and dining area feel serene. The floor-to-ceiling sliding doors fill the space with natural light and also offer tempting views of the swimming pool. As you move upstairs, you’ll find tastefully decorated bedrooms with large and comfortable beds promising a restful night’s sleep. The home is in a great location to experience the best of LA living. Close to parks, cycle tracks and local markets, with easy freeway access for when you want to explore further afield. At night, you’ll love curling up on the sofa or gathering with friends around the dining table. Better still head out to experience  the glitz and glamour of LA's best nightlife.

Outdoor Shower

Situated high in the mountains above Malibu overlooking untouched mountainous parkland, this home really is something to marvel at. Organically hidden amongst the greenery of the mountainside, you'll feel at one with nature. California culture is all about embracing outdoor living, and that's exactly what you'll be doing here. Whether you want to hike around Santa Monica Mountains National Nature Reserve (a twenty-two-minute drive) or stay put at this wonderful home, you'll be able to admire the beauty of this Los Angeles region from wherever you are. 

Each room in the house provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape, but it's the 3000sqf patio that is the star of the show. Feel like a contestant on Love Island as you lounge on the daybeds and splash around in the pool during the afternoon, before retreating to the outdoor bar for a pina colada followed by an evening spent warming up around the fire pit. Despite being in the serenity of the mountains, the great thing about this home is that it's only a ten-minute drive from central Malibu, where you'll be able to admire its incredible homes and white sandy beaches. Maybe you'll even spot a celeb or two!

Scout's Treehouse

Paid Parking On Street

We wouldn’t be surprised if the host of this century-old cottage was in fact a fairy godmother and the home itself were to turn back into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. There's a distinct fairytale feel to the interior, which is bursting with folkloric design, a whimsical colour scheme and charming architectural features — chandeliers hang from the ceiling and gilded mirror frames sit on the wall waiting to be asked who's the fairest of them all. The one-time hunting lodge is tucked away in the rollings hills of Topanga, and surrounded by lush woodland and majestic mountains, further adding to this most magical setting. Topanga State Park can be reached in five minutes' drive, while Las Tunas Beach only takes ten. There are outdoor adventures to be had without even leaving the home, however. Just step outside into the huge, multi-level garden and you'll find lots of pretty places to take a perch and a recently installed hot tub, as well as some friendly neighbours — the mini pigs. They're looked after twice a day by a caretaker, but you can feed them over their fence, too.  It’s not every day you come across such a special home, but for those who enjoy magic and fairytales, you'll find it completely spellbinding.

Princess Charming

Tucked close to Santa Monica, this family home overlooks the shimmering ocean and surrounding canyons. With Malibu sprawled at your feet, you can get to the pier and beach in minutes or sample nearby restaurants. Though staying in to admire the coastline from almost any vantage point in the house isn't a bad idea either. Though the views are the crowning glory, the home boasts a bright and modern interior. The kitchen is an avid cook's dream, and the pool table can supply hours of entertainment – especially with a cold beer in hand. 

Malibu Dreamin'

This special home enjoys a stretch of prime Malibu beach just off the legendary Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and is backed by the Santa Monica Mountains. Welcome to your dream summer getaway. The beachside abode, made up of two adjacent homes, boasts not one but two enormous decks that will be the focal point of your stay here. 

Spend your days lounging seaside, eating alfresco and watching sunsets from your privileged position overlooking the Pacific. Inside, the muted decor ensures that none of your attention is diverted away from that view. Get distracted for even a second, and you might miss a chance to catch a glimpse of breaching humpbacks and surfing dolphins that are frequently spotted off the California coast. 

Though Malibu is, of course, best known for its beaches, those mountains behind you are crisscrossed with trails for all levels of hikers. Afterwards, you can refuel at Neptune's Net, a kitsch seafood diner that serves a mean clam chowder less than five minutes' walk from your home. At the end of each day, mix up a cocktail and listen to the waves roll in as the sun dips slowly below the ocean.

Fenced Property

An architectural show-stopper, this secluded home in Topanga Canyon is the crème de la crème. With clean lines, designer furniture and truly spectacular vistas of both the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains from the many terraces, this place is a masterclass in indoor-outdoor living. There's even a separate studio with a kitchen, living area and bedroom that's perfect for those craving a little extra privacy. Wake up each morning and watch the sunrise over the jaw-dropping landscape, then whip up a delicious breakfast in the modern kitchen, which has stainless steel countertops and plenty of culinary gear. Then, head outside and bask in the mountain breeze with a dip in the infinity pool, or just lounge on the deck chairs with a chilled drink in hand and admire the stunning surroundings. In the evenings, fire up the grill for a mouthwatering dinner before ending the night with a soak in the hot tub as the stars pop out overhead. When you can pull yourself away from this private paradise (though we don't blame you if you can't), there's a myriad of trailheads nearby that will please any hiker, and Topanga Beach is about a twenty-minute drive away.

The Glamper

Balcony / Patio

This newly renovated beach getaway is your ticket to a quintessential Malibu stay. Being newly furnished the home feels spic-and-span throughout, and the plentiful windows mean the interiors feel like an oasis of light during the day. Listen to the soothing sound of the waves lapping into the shore, with views out over the ocean from the living area. In the evening time, the blissful oak hot tub is the perfect place to unwind after a day on the beach. With so many beach amenities available for guests to use, you'll have free access to a 2-person kayak, a surfboard, 3 boogie boards, adult and kids life jackets and a stand-up paddleboard! All of that – plus there's an outdoor hot shower on the deck to rinse off in privacy following a day of water sports. Come sundown, drive down to the local shops and restaurants to sample the local cuisine, or rustle something up in the kitchen at home, if you'd rather a more quiet end to a fun-filled day in sunny Malibu.

This dreamy Malibu gem is a work of the renowned architect Pierre Koenig – and you’ll notice his masterful touches at every step. Situated right on the beachfront and surrounded by lush greenery, it would be hard to beat this home’s location. You’ll enjoy direct access to Broad Beach via an electric drawbridge, while the home’s generous outdoor areas include a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, as well as a range of private and shared balconies with unparalleled views. The inside is no less impressive, with huge glass walls and beautiful design – there’s even a private cinema room here. Do bear in mind that the home is not suitable for small children and may be challenging for guests with reduced mobility due to the many stairs. 

Malibu Dreamscape 

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.

Malibu Fizz

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.
