The Surfrider Hotel | Malibu, California
Perched above the legendary Surfrider Beach on the Pacific Coast Highway, The Surfrider Malibu is an intimate, award-winning 20-room retreat that reimagines a classic 1950s beach motel into a modern California haven. Designed exclusively for guests, it offers more than just a place to stay—it’s an invitation to live Malibu like a local, where the days are spontaneous, the surf is always near, and the creative spirit drifts on the ocean breeze. This is the essence of the California dream, distilled.
Each of the 20 rooms and suites at The Surfrider Malibu is thoughtfully designed to reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape—from the sun-washed textures of the canyons and mountains to the rich tones of the sea and sky. Raw woods, natural stone, organic linens, and a breezy, open layout create a calming, grounded atmosphere.
Custom furnishings, handwoven hammocks, curated artwork, spa-style rain showers, and Parachute waffle robes are among the considered details that elevate each stay, offering a sense of renewal and quiet inspiration.
Roof deck
The Surfrider Malibu’s exclusive Roof Deck Bar and Restaurant captures the laid-back essence of coastal California living. Reserved for guests only, the space offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between—served with panoramic views of the Pacific and a fresh, seasonal menu rooted in locally sourced, organic ingredients. Each dish draws inspiration from the rich bounty of Southern California’s land and sea, infused with herbs and produce grown nearby.
Whether it’s a sun-drenched spritz, a leisurely barefoot lunch with friends, or quiet moments spent watching surfers at iconic First Point, the Roof Deck invites guests to savor the slow, soulful rhythm of Malibu.
Neighborhood
Nestled along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the sea, Malibu is a place where nature and culture intertwine effortlessly. This protected stretch of coastline is home to some of the world’s most breathtaking beaches, with hiking trails just minutes away that wind through sun-dappled canyons and into the hills beyond.
Wild at heart and rich in history, Malibu is also the cradle of one of California’s oldest surf communities. Here, the air is salty, the sunsets glow in soft hues, the waves roll in slow and steady—and time itself seems to move just a little more gently.
