about

The Surfrider Malibu is an award-winning, 20-room California Beach House located on the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, overlooking the world-famous Surfrider Beach. Originally an iconic 1950s motel, we reimagined the historic property and created a thoroughly unique hospitality experience in a guest-only setting. Surfrider is more than a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to experience Malibu the way the locals do – where anything could happen and the creative spirit flows. The epitome of the California dream.

More About Us

Bedrooms & Suites

Each of our 20 bedrooms and suites are designed with the native landscape of Malibu in mind - from the textures of the canyons and mountains to the cinematic colors of Malibu and depth of the ocean. Raw woods, natural stone, organic linens and an open, airy design lend to a sense of grounding and relaxation.

Rooms feature custom designed furniture, handwoven hammocks, collected works of art, spa rain showers and Parachute waffle robes – we’ve considered every detail to leave you revived and inspired.

Roof deck

Our Roof Deck Bar and Restaurant is infused with the spirit of Malibu. The fresh, coastal menu focuses on locally sourced, seasonal, and organic ingredients, each dish inspired by our verdant land and sea and the abundance of herbs and produce that grow right here in Southern California. Exclusively available to guests only, we serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and all things in between. This is the spot for spritzing and daydreaming, for long and languid barefoot lunches with friends, for writing your next novel or whiling away the hours watching surfers catch our famous first point wave.

NEighborhood

Malibu is uniquely positioned along the Pacific Coast Highway where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. The protected coastline is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and you’re never more than a couple miles from a hiking trail winding up and away from it all. Naturally wild, rich in history, and home to one of California’s oldest surf communities. Malibu has a little bit of everything you need––salty air, hazy sunsets, slow peeling waves, and a clock that seems to tick just a touch slower than the others.
