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

Set in Central Malibu, this sprawling abode offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and direct access to Escondido Beach. The main living space opens onto a deck for an alfresco tipple, and the sleek kitchen has everything you need for rustling up your favourite suppers. Those mixing business with pleasure during their stay will be pleased to know there is a home office here. If you fancy exploring, Santa Monica is a twenty-five-minute drive away. Just make sure you’re back in time for sunset – it’s a sight not to be missed.


Escondido Bliss

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'

Step into paradise at this lavish villa, jam-packed with amenities to ensure a luxurious and entertaining stay. Malibu Lagoon State Beach is a short drive away, and the private pool, outdoor seating, and fire pit all boast stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Large friend groups and families will have a blast here, whether it's the at-home spa, movie theatre, or wet bar that takes your fancy. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking up sumptuous feasts, while the wine cellar ensures you'll have plenty to sample on a balmy evening. Children can enjoy their own space in the double king room, and there's a spare bedroom for even more room if need be.

The Sunshine Vineyard

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. 

A Slice Of Heaven

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

Set back from Escondido Beach, this home sits on a 2.5-acre estate facing the Pacific Ocean. If the waterfront views don't win you over, the pool and tennis court surely will. But the outdoor fun doesn't end there. Up on the roof terrace, a summer kitchen makes barbecuing (and stargazing) easy. Head inside and you'll find a cinema room and home gym, plus a sumptuous main suite with its own office and marble bathroom. Hiring a car is a must here, but great access to the Pacific Coast Highway puts road trips on the cards.

Ocean on the Horizon

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

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

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

Inspired by the tranquil traditions of Southeast Asia, this gorgeous haven oozes peaceful serenity and relaxation – the ideal recipe for a perfect getaway. It's decorated with plenty of natural materials, including stylish wooden panelling, a huge number of houseplants and a stunning black bathroom with quartz crystal mounted like a museum exhibition. Your hosts have poured an enormous amount of love and attention to detail into their boutique Balinese-inspired home – all you need to worry about is whether to relax on the daybed by the pool or to slide open those retractable doors and spend an entire day in bed. On your doorstep, you'll find the quiet neighbourhood of Encino, with vibrant Ventura Boulevard just a few blocks away. On the weekend, join residents as they flock to Encino Commons, a stretch of restaurants and boutiques that serves as the neighbourhood's downtown. Its weekly farmer's market is one of the best in LA and only a fifteen-minute walk away. Fancy venturing further afield? Both Hollywood and Santa Monica are approximately a twenty-minute drive.

Wayan Calm

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.
