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.

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. 

Pacific Sunbeam

Child Friendly

As the ocean runs along the coast by Malibu and Pacific Palisades, your waterside retreat is right on the border between the two. Stepping into your apartment, the sleek, modern interiors offer white as the main colour – a perfect blank canvas for the windows and doors opening up to views of the sapphire waters of the Pacific Ocean, and blue Californian skies. Whether you’re relaxing on the L-shaped sofa inside, or savouring a glass of organic chardonnay on the private balcony, coastal scenery comes as standard. Thanks to touches like sliding glass doors, huge mirrors, and Starck ghost chairs in the dining area, this home feels wonderfully spacious and bright. But as the host provides beach towels and you're just six minutes from Ratner Beach, there’s no excuse not to meander to the coast for a lazy afternoon. Another easy ten-minute walk will take you to the Getty Villa. This hilltop marvel is a museum of antiquities where you can find bronze statues relaxing in gardens and pools, and admire over forty thousand items in the collection. To end the day, take a fifteen-minute taxi to Santa Monica Pier – with funfairs and classic eateries, it’s worth staying until long after sunset.

Welcome Hamper

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.

Beach / Pool Towels

This Palisades pad has it all – bright, modern interiors, stunning Pacific Ocean views, and a great location, too. It's practically next door to the Getty Villa, and it's just a ten-minute walk down to Ratner Beach and a short car ride to the iconic Santa Monica Pier – doesn't get much better than that. 

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows show off the sweeping scenery and rolling tides, while the breezy living space is perfect for socialising. Throw open the doors and you'll hear the waves crashing on the shore – it's the perfect soundtrack to your stay, whether you're lounging on the L-shaped sofa or tucking into a delicious meal around the dining table. The sleek, granite-topped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a delicious feast and the stylish bedrooms are ultra-comfortable. That said, our favourite spot to relax has to be the balcony. Savour your morning cup of coffee with a side of fresh sea air, then, in the evenings, pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and enjoy a front-row seat to some truly incredible sunsets on the water. If you ask us, this is California living at its finest.

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.

Bathrobes

Between Malibu and the Palisades, this coastal home is right on the sapphire shores of the Pacific Ocean. Despite being just a ten-minute walk from the antiquities collection of Getty Villa, the interiors here are quite the opposite. This spacious, modern house has muted brown wooden floors alongside a colour scheme of whites and neutrals, which feels clean and fresh. But little touches such as fluffy cushion covers and a cream-tiled fireplace bring warmth if you need it. 

The understated and minimalist decor emphasises the striking backdrop – take in wide ocean vistas from the enormous windows and doors opening to your private balcony. Sip your iced latte here in the morning as you take in the Pacific breeze. 

Just six minutes away, Ratner Beach is a perfect spot for a sunrise swim. Grab a beach towel (kindly provided by your host) and head to the shores. Palisades Village is just over ten minutes by car, where you’ll find restaurants and boutiques. Or take a fifteen-minute ride to Santa Monica Pier to enjoy the funfair by day, and a corn dog under the glow of neon lights by night.

Papiri Bronze

Ping Pong Table

Featured in the New York Times, this architectural gem blows us away with its canyon setting. Surrounded by unspoiled woodland, the terrace is the spot for sunset-watching and playing ping pong. If you like mid-century style, you'll adore the minimalist interiors, high ceilings, and giant windows framing the views. Your host can also arrange private yoga sessions in the downstairs studio for an extra fee. While this home is an unparalleled hideaway for yogis and nature lovers, you can get around easily via the Pacific Coast Highway and the 101 Valley Route. Imagine hitting the hiking trails or surfing at Topanga Beach.

Topanga Sun

Outdoor Audio

Just an eleven-minute drive from the striking coast of California’s iconic Route One, this mountain escape offers the best of the land and ocean. Set on a serene mountain vineyard, you can just as easily hike to beautiful summits as spend afternoons on the beach. See for yourself, with panoramic views of the ocean and the Malibu mountains from this charming retreat. With multiple terraces and balconies, you can look out to every corner of Cali (and to your private outdoor gym at the bottom of the hill), but there’s a certain outdoor space that we’re sure you’ll love. A hot tub, fire pit, barbecue grill, sun loungers, and dining space come together to make one of the most memorable deckings we’ve ever seen. Pour everyone a glass of pinot noir and say cheers to your new hilltop abode. Keep sipping as you head inside to check out the home. We love the bright and modern interiors, with lofty ceilings, chandeliers, and luxurious marble floors and sinks. The overall theme is sophisticated and stylish, with luxury everywhere you look. Of course some indoor amenities include a very spacious wine fridge, and an elegant full-sized pool table.

Grapevine Heights

Outdoor Shower

Hammock

Artists and craftspeople have long been drawn to Topanga Canyon for its natural beauty and inspiring landscape. And it's this quality of magic that dances in the air and draws you into this stunning five-acre mountainside retreat.

As you step inside, there's a sense of harmony with the natural elements that feels deeply restorative. The large windows in the open-plan living and kitchen area fill the space with light, whilst also offering panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains. This is one of the best spots to watch the sunset. 


Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a deep sense of relaxation. Outside there’s a hot tub, meditation deck, and plunge pool. Spend lazy afternoons swinging in a hammock, or cook with locally sourced ingredients in the outdoor kitchen. You’ll love gathering with friends in the garden or simply enjoying the stillness this setting provides. 

As the day draws to a close enjoy an outdoor shower overlooking the canyon, or soak in the copper tub. Wherever you are in this home, it inspires a deep appreciation for the magic and beauty of life. 


Earth & Water

Perched overlooking golden-hued Topanga Canyon, this creative retreat offers visitors a private Eden. Though Santa Monica is only a short drive away, this home seems world’s away from the buzz of the city. Retreat from the mundane everyday and relax in a home that brings you closer to nature. This three-story home seamlessly flows between the indoors and out. Large sliding doors open up to spacious balconies on every level; here you can find various secluded seating areas, a hammock or outdoor bed that offers unbeatable panoramic views. Sunshine streams into the open-plan exterior, creating a space that is both light and airy during hot summer days. The artistic elements of the home create the perfect space for rest and reflection. We especially love the healing crystals and plenteous house plants.

Parking On Premises

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

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). 

Malibu Zen

Sauna

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. 

Pacifico

Piano

Rain Shower

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. 

A Martini In Malibu

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.

Outdoor Kitchen

Treat yourself to postcard views of the San Fernando Valley. This mid-century home is the vision of a renowned architect, promising an indoor-outdoor flow. With an interior split between the main house and a guesthouse, this layout is ideal for teens craving privacy. From dining alfresco to gathering at the fire pit, you'll love itinerary planning here. Taking a break from the special services? The hot tub and pool table offer simple pleasures. And while a car is necessary, The Getty and Santa Monica Beach aren't far to drive.

The Mountain Home

Balcony / Patio

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.


El Matador

Whether you’re local or from out of state, this smart home is the perfect base to return to after exploring the best of Los Angeles. You’ll need a car here, especially if you want to visit Hollywood and Downtown LA. Inside, it’s a little bit luxurious and plenty comfortable, with a chef’s kitchen and temperature-controlled bedrooms. There's even a small, private gym for fitness enthusiasts. Head outside to find an oversized pool, a cabana and a fire pit for enjoying a sundowner or two with your nearest and dearest.

The Art of Summer

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.

California Dreamer

Located at the top of the Brentwood Hills, one block from hiking and mountain biking trails – this five-bedroom modern villa is a real showstopper. If you want a gorgeous, luxurious place to hang out like a celebrity in, then you'd better call your family and friends – as this villa will have you living the California dream. With easy access to good hiking and dreamy views that sweep from the hills to Century City and Santa Monica across to the ocean, it's not just the exceptional design aesthetic that impresses here. But we do love the plush and contemporary interiors found in the lounge and home cinema rooms – you'll feel like you're sinking into a cloud on the enormous corner sofas in particular. Demonstrating how indoor to outdoor living should be done, a wall of glass at the back of the house opens up the kitchen to an outdoor living area with those breathtaking panoramic views. If you like being out in the sun, you'll have the choice of relaxing in the pool, spa or hot tub in the secluded back garden. When you're ready to venture out, a wealth of wildlife awaits in the surrounding nature at the likes of the Westridge Canyonback Wilderness park or Mountgate Country Club golf course - both within twenty-minutes driving distance away. 


Hill Haven

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

Cafetiere

Occupying a plum spot in Pacific Palisades – home to celebrities, influencers and other affluent types – this five-bedroom apartment suits a large family group. Fluffy pampas grass, leather chairs and navy cabinets make this an eclectic take on the farmhouse style, with a long dining table providing the perfect setting for games night. Heading out? A spare, industrial-style vanity is a stylish setting for your toilette – one of the sinks has three taps, so there'll be no fighting for space. Jump into the free-standing tub that sits right in the window.  An office corner comes with plenty of space for storing papers and files, should you need to catch up on work. Wind down in your minimalist bedroom with a light read.

The homely charm makes this perfect for families, as well as adventurers looking for a quiet home base.

Spend your days in the glorious Californian sun at the home's own beach, before heading out to tread the boards of the Santa Monica Pier, and relaxing on the neighbouring Santa Monica beach, listening to the gentle whoosh of melodic waves as the sun beats down. Within a short fifteen-minute drive, you can also reach the star-studded streets of Beverly Hills, where opportunities for fine dining, cocktail sampling, shopping and sightseeing can be found around every corner, and the chance of bumping into your favourite celebrity become very real.

The Valley of Wonder

Games Room

This gorgeous home lies in Los Angeles, close to a host of lush parks and the El Caballero Country Club. Boredom will become a thing of the past – does a basketball half-court, private pool, workout equipment and blackjack table sound like enough entertainment? Not to mention the billiards table and outdoor seating for alfresco dining and soaking up the sun. You may not find wi-fi here, but if you're looking for a scenic spot an easy drive from Universal Studios and Sunset Boulevard, look no further.
