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.

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.

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).

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?

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.

Nestled in the Santa Monica mountains, this Malibu getaway is perched high above the beaches, providing truly incredible views of the ocean from the open living space and each of the bedrooms. We would love to start every morning with a coffee on the terrace overlooking the sea as the sun shines down upon it before heading to the beach for the day – reachable in just eleven minutes by car.

As well as stunning views and great proximity to some of Southern California’s most famous beaches, this area also offers great hiking trails, fantastic restaurants, and even shopping, so there’s plenty on offer for every kind of traveller. Or, if you would rather have a more relaxing break, then lounge in the Californian sunshine, breath in the fresh air and admire the nature and views all around you. 

After a busy day, why not dine together with the bi-fold doors of the living room wide open so you can truly appreciate the panoramic views on offer as the sun sets over the sea. Then, on chilly evenings, snuggle up in front of the fire or indulge in a relaxing bath in the main bedroom’s en-suite, which also showcases ocean vistas to enjoy while you soak.

When you have an ocean view at your disposal, the best homes really make the most of it and that's certainly true of this property overlooking the Malibu coastline. Big windows make the interior feel bright and airy, while there's also a gorgeous deck area from which to savour the panorama of endless blue. This space comes with a comfy lounge area arranged around a firepit and an alfresco dining setup complete with a barbecue, so guests really can spend each and every hour of the day breathing in the salty sea air. Just around the side of the home, there's a small green where you can practice your putting. Back inside, we also loved the Japanese-style round bathtub — ideal for washing off the sand after a day at the seaside. And you won't be short of options, with La Costa Beach only seven minutes' walk away. Even closer to the home — about a minute's walk, in fact — is Duke's bar and restaurant, which serves Hawaiian-inspired cuisine with similarly stunning ocean vistas.

Beautiful Malibu escapes don’t get much better than this. With incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, this summery home is the perfect beach house. It’s just one block away from popular La Costa beach, so you can spend every day on the soft sand, working on your tan and splashing in the surf. Just off the Pacific Coast Highway, this home is in a fantastic location for LA adventures. It takes twenty minutes to drive to Santa Monica, and thirty minutes to reach Beverly Hills. 

The house itself is gorgeous. Huge windows let light flood in and ensure that those stunning sea views become part of the decor. You can happily spend hours just gazing out at the ocean. Everything you need is to hand here, and it’s a great space for families – the kitchen and dining space set-up is perfect for cooking up a storm and sharing meals with loved ones. Whip up a feast, grill up some goodies on the barbecue, or order in from one of the fantastic restaurants nearby – our vote goes for Nobu. If you're musically inclined, you'll also be happy to hear that there's a piano in this home.

Of course, this is a beach house, so you’ll likely spend most of your time outside. In the garden you’ll find a Jacuzzi and some sun loungers – you can really relax here. We also love the terrace off the master bedroom. You’ll wake up to the sea breeze, and be able to head straight outside to drink in those views.

Far-reaching sea views, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore below, and direct beach access – what’s not to love about this Malibu home? Perfect for friends and families alike, it’s impossible not to relax here. If you’re not paddling in the Pacific, a mere 100ft walk away, hop in the car to see the sights of LA. Malibu Pier and Venice Beach Boardwalk are within easy reach, or take around a twenty-minute drive to Topanga State Park where hiking trails and stunning vistas await.

One of only six homes located directly next to the Malibu Pier, this beach cottage boasts a dream location. With direct access to the 21-mile stretch of white sand and heaps of deck space, you’ll likely spend most of your time outside, making use of the stand-up paddleboards and surfboards provided. Your host can arrange surfing lessons, bike and kayak rentals, and sailing excursions. There’s also a board rack, beach shower, and an indoor-outdoor bar. The cottage is tranquil, with ocean views enjoyed from almost every angle. Peaceful and pretty, this Malibu home is memorable for all the right reasons.

Combine a Topanga location with mountain views, outdoor living, and a designer’s touch, and you’re onto a winner. Set across two acres, this multi-level home is perfect for hosting – with an outdoor lounge, dining terrace, firepit, and an outdoor gym. Hosting isn’t just restricted to the outside – with a chef-ready kitchen, Sonos sound system, and smart lighting to match the mood. The master suite has a soaking tub with views over the valley – the perfect spot to unwind after a hike in the Topanga State Park. Just a short drive from Malibu, this home is ideally located for exploring L.A.’s beaches, canyons, and, of course, the city.

Dew Drop combines relaxed West Coast living with the best of Cape Cod's design, for a beach-front home that is sure to put its guests at ease. Its position between Santa Barbara and Malibu means that it’s a little bit quieter than your standard California beach retreat, but the centre of Oxnard is still easy to reach. The gentle, nautical colour scheme perfectly matches the home's impressive views and provides a comfortable and homely space in a serene setting. Whether you want to make yourself at home in the living room and snuggle up with a great book or spend your time exploring the beach and its surroundings (Alfred provides beach chairs and body boards), Dew Drop has something for everyone.

This showstopper is here to attract the architectural fans — so don't tell us you haven't noticed the deconstructed minimalism and the statement furniture to go with it. Smoking Pixels is a treat for the eyes, filling every corner of the home, as well as its considerable exterior with something beautiful. If you choose this home, you'll be greeted by the sun as soon as you wake up. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit in the perfectly manicured garden, then go for a swim in the saltwater pool and admire the symmetry of your holiday home. Keep relaxing or try out take the car out to Palm Springs or Indio. When you're back, get the fire pit going and wait for the stars to show, then retreat to the majestic lounge and watch a movie together with your loved ones.

Wild Rocks is one of those homes that always appears effortlessly chic. Designed by Oller & Pejic, it’s an architectural gem set against Yucca Valley’s rugged desert terrain. The sliding glass doors blur the lines between the inside and outside, allowing you to enjoy home-cooked meals on the terrace, gaze at the stars, and relax in the hot tub. We also loved the enormous record collection, which features some of the host Joann’s all-time favourite tunes. Found just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, there are plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you.

Wild Rocks

With two fully equipped kitchens, several lounges (inside and outside), and three en-suite bedrooms, this stunning home caters to those looking for a combination of privacy and social spaces. 

The Spanish hacienda-style home dates back to the 1950s, but it’s received a modern update with a healthy dose of mid-century modern furniture (you are after all in Palm Springs). The backyard is, without a doubt, the heart of the home. We loved the pool with jaw-dropping mountain views, and the fire pit that sets the scene for many nights spent stargazing in great company.

Wake up feeling energised and embark on challenging early morning hikes within a mile of your home, returning in time for brunch in one of the innovative farm-to-fork restaurants that you'll find tucked away in Downtown, a five-minute drive north. Afterwards, while away your days soaking up the sun by the saltwater pool, setting up a table football tournament in the games room and tucking into tantalising home-cooked meals beneath the pergola.

Like a spaceship that's just landed in the desert, this home is an extraordinary stay. Surrounded by hundreds of windmills, the rugged San Jacinto mountains and expansive valley views, the most dominating element of this home is dome-shaped annexe with expansive windows offering unbeatable, panoramic views. Inside, the owners have gone to town with the otherworldly theme. In the kitchen, sleek metal kitchen countertops like the exterior of a rocket ship are paired back by warm brick walls. In the living room, egg shaped chairs sit opposite a honeycombed bookshelf, with a wood-and-metal floating spiral staircase that leads up to the loft bedroom. All three bedrooms have deluxe double beds, luxurious bathrooms with walk-in showers, and uninterrupted desert views. Joshua Tree National Park - and its miles of remote hiking routes - is at your fingertips, or if you're ready to re-enter reality, Downtown Palm Springs, with its glitzy shops and trendy restaurants, is a short drive away.

When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

Live the jet-set lifestyle at this Palm Springs villa of grand entrances and epic proportions. On arrival you’ll discover an elegant Spanish colonial-style home, sprawling out luxuriously across one level. Slide open its French doors to reveal interiors worthy of a design magazine cover – vaulted ceilings, lofty bedrooms (each with their own bathroom and patio), and an achingly-cool living space that begs to be lounged around in. 

Carrying on outside, through magnificent gardens, you’ll discover a contemporary two-storey pool house that brings this place right into the 21st century, with one of the most well-equipped gyms we ever did see. But the star of the show has to be the pool and gardens. With 360-degree mountain vistas, soaring palm trees, lush lawns, and hummingbirds busy going about their day, there is no better place to be. Start the day with a few lengths in the pool and soak in the spa, before settling down on one of the many sun decks to catch some rays. 

When it’s time to rustle up a meal, fire up the barbecue in the impressive outdoor dining area, while friends gather around the fire pit. Or let a private chef take over in the gourmet kitchen, complete with a wine fridge and built-in coffee maker to cover off all the essentials. And should you be tempted to stray from this desert retreat, you’ll find downtown Palm Springs a mere fifteen minutes drive away. Though why you’d ever want to leave is anyone’s guess.

The Grand Entrance

Fitting more than ten guests into a single home is tricky, so this estate is comprised of three — all luxurious and equipped with everything you might need for a great stay. It's situated in the middle of California's wine country, making it easy to visit the nearby wineries to sample the local vintages. For those who prefer staying in and relaxing, there's plenty to do at home too. You'll find the sparkling private swimming pool surrounded by plenty of sun loungers, where you can splash around or catch some rays. There's also a barbecue area and a fire pit, ideal for keeping your guests cosy and well-fed after dark. Plus, there's plenty to explore in the sprawling grounds – including your own vineyard, fruit orchard, and even an equestrian centre. It's hard not to form lifelong memories when you're in such a special place – we think you'll love sharing your days in this idyllic slice of California with your family or friends.

If the interiors of this minimalist home appear to have jumped straight out of the pages of a glossy magazine, you’re not far off. This home, designed by Palmer and Kriesel is hidden away in a Palm Springs cul-de-sac and has previously graced the pages of the New York Times. Homage to all things mid-century, with Eames chairs, Nelson lamps and a vintage Malm fireplace in the master bedroom.

We were wowed by the open living area, designed with socialising in mind and with great views of the backyard. Out in the garden, reclining by the shimmering turquoise pool is the perfect way to unwind, but if you need to take your relaxing to the next level, there’s also a hot tub to bubble the night away in. Dine alfresco under the endless desert sky, then end the evening around the flickering fire pit with a glass of something strong as the sun sets behind the mountains.

When you want to venture out, downtown Palm Springs is only a five-minute drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park, roughly an hour away, is a must-see for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Visit The Palm Springs Art Museum, an eight-minute drive away which features complex sculptures, glassworks, and photographs by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol and Diane Arbus.


Splash & Chill

In the centre of downtown Paso Robles, this stylish apartment puts you close to shops, restaurants and, of course, wine tasting rooms. The hills around Paso are filled with California’s best wineries where Zinfandel and Petit Sirah grapes grow plump on the vine. Indulge in a warming Pinot Noir in the living room, where faux fur cushions invite you to cosy up on the mid-century-style sofa. The sleek, black kitchen has everything you need, including plenty of room for a few bottles of Chardonnay in the big American-style fridge. If you want to switch it up a bit the cute bar trolley is set with everything needed to mix up a few Martinis and when sleep beckons, the huge king-size bed in the master bedroom awaits.

The Viticulturalist

Located in buzzing Orange, this stylish apartment has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay right at your fingertips. Not only are you surrounded by shopping centres and restaurants, but the building has tons of swoon-worthy amenities, too. Break a sweat in the 24-hour fitness centre, spend lazy afternoons lounging in the cabanas by the resort-style pool, enjoy an evening soak in the hot tub before warming up by the outdoor firepit or challenge someone to a game of billiards in the communal lounge. 

Barbecues, ping-pong tables, business centres, even a 24/7 coffee bar – this place has it all, and the apartment itself isn't too shabby, either. There's a relaxed vibe inside with shades of bright whites and cool blues, making it the perfect respite from a day in the California sunshine. When you're in the mood to cook, the kitchen is stocked with cutlery and cookware to make self-catering easy – just pull up a stool and enjoy a meal around the breakfast bar. We also love the private balcony, which is a sweet spot to nurse your morning coffee before heading out for the day. Speaking of exploring, this is a great locale for day trips – Disneyland is a ten-minute drive, Newport Beach is reachable in twenty minutes and downtown LA is only a half-hour by car.

Go to bed after watching the spectacular sunset over the Pacific and wake up to the sound of the crashing waves at this jaw-dropping beachfront home in the surfside city of San Clemente. 

Contemporary coastal cool is the order of the day, with plenty of light wood, fresh blue furnishings and pristine white walls, all accentuated by the sunlight that pours in 342 days a year through large windows and retractable glass doors that look out over the ocean.

There's plenty of space for all the family, with large open living spaces, a stunning modern kitchen with eye-catching quartz worktops, a dedicated games room with a billiards table, plus a lovely office to make the idea of working while on holiday a little more palatable. 

Sleeping arrangements are taken care of across five spacious bedrooms. A large loft room packed with games and a console allows you to leave the kids to it as you enjoy a glass of something cold out on the covered terrace, or lay out on a lounger on the promontory pointing out to sea.

If the call of the ocean proves too much, you won't have to walk far to access Lost Winds beach below. With consistent surf, volleyball courts, and the opportunity to jog or cycle along the 2.6-mile beach trail, there's plenty on offer here. However, seasoned surfers might want to check out nearby breaks including Trestles, T Street and San Onofre. Lowers (at Trestles beach) is the best of the bunch and the home of high performance surfing. Sometimes it's best just to sit back and marvel at the pros.

After a day of adrenaline-pumping activity, cooking may well be the last thing on your mind. Handily, San Clemente is home to a wide array of restaurants serving everything from American comfort food, farm-to-table fare and creative Mexican classics washed down with a mescal.
