Welcome to your California dream. While this incredible home might be up in the hills rather than right on the beach, it's exactly the type of villa that comes to mind when we think of Malibu. You’ve got the huge, airy spaces, the expansive terraces, the views. It's the whole package. The design is very LA – with white walls, pale wood and clean lines – but if you’re staying in a mansion off the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), it would be a shame if it weren’t. Walk across the road to Zuma Beach, which draws in families, surfers and sun-worshippers to enjoy a thoroughly life-guarded three-mile expanse of golden sand that's considered one of the best beaches in SoCal. Alternatively, rise early and hike the Zuma Canyon Trail – approximately forty minutes each way. After a day at the beach, challenge friends and family to a game of pool and put your cocktail-making skills to the test at the bar cart. Finally, grill dinner on the barbecue before putting your feet up by the fire pit with your finest cocktail creation in hand.
