Malibu Beach Inn: Pacific Passion on Carbon Beach
Experience We Love: Reconnect through life’s quieter pleasures. Start the morning with complimentary yoga, share a glass from the award-winning wine program, then let the day unfold with sunset sound baths, a good book, a favorite board game, and the monthly playlists they keep on repeat.
Love doesn’t need much fanfare. It shows up in quiet mornings, shared coffee, and time that isn’t rushed. That’s the kind of love we believe in, the kind built through small moments that stay with you.
At Malibu Beach Inn, those moments come easily. Wake to the sound of the waves, step onto your private balcony, and watch the light change over the Pacific. Wander down to Carbon Beach, or don’t make plans at all. Some of the best days are the unplanned ones.
Set along a secluded stretch of Southern California coastline, the hotel offers direct access to a beach that feels personal, never crowded. Romance here isn’t tied to a date on the calendar. Whether you’re marking an anniversary, planning a Valentine’s escape, or simply carving out time together away from the noise, this is a place where connection feels natural, any day of the year.
An Oceanfront Oasis Designed for Two
Choose from 47 elegantly appointed guest rooms, where the world fades away, and you can tune in to each other. All rooms feature a private balcony … watch the dolphins play in the surf at sunrise, or share a bottle of champagne as the sky erupts in a fiery orange sunset.
Sink into plush bedding that feels like sleeping on a cloud. Cozy up by the fireplace as the evening coastal breeze rolls in. Warm coastal tones, custom white oak furnishings, and exclusive amenities complement the serene atmosphere. Think pillow-top king mattresses, Bellino® linens, well-stocked mini bars, complimentary WiFi, large walk-in showers, Nespresso® coffee brewers, and Smeg® tea kettles.
Dining at Carbon Beach Club
Few things bring people together like an exceptional meal, and at the Carbon Beach Club, you can feel the passion behind each plate. Perched on the sands of the beach, the Inn’s signature oceanfront restaurant draws inspiration from the flavors of the Pacific and Mediterranean coasts. Seasonal menus highlight the freshest locally sourced ingredients from One Gun Ranch and nearby farmers’ markets. An award-winning wine list features world-renowned selections that pair beautifully with the menu selections. Or, let the expert mixologists craft a clever cocktail just for you.
To tempt your palate, imagine morning toast with soft scrambled eggs, salmon roe, caviar, fresh chives, and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Order oysters on the half-shell for lunch, or a roasted broccolini sandwich with fresh burrata and sun-dried tomatoes. Fresh-from-the-sea dishes and elevated pasta headline the dinner menu—for a dinner a deux, try the whole Mediterranean branzino a la plancha for two, with shaved fennel, peppery arugula, chives, grilled lemon, and chili oil.
Carbon Beach Club’s menu threads the needle between virtuous and light, while being wholly indulgent. And if you can’t bear to leave your room and each other’s company, there’s around-the-clock in-room dining.
YOUR PRIVATE BEACH IN MALIBU
Carbon Beach, literally down the stairs from your room at Malibu Beach Inn, consistently makes the list of Malibu’s “hidden gems” beaches. Depending on the tide, it can be a thin strip of sand, meaning that visitors are often more likely to try their luck at nearby Point Dune or Malibu Lagoon. Meaning: more privacy, more quiet, more romance, for you.
Serenity by the Sea
Embrace bliss side by side at the Malibu Beach Inn, whether it’s an in-room couple’s massage to the sound of the actual ocean waves rather than a recorded soundtrack, or medi-spa treatments at CURE, located just moments away. CURE’s expert therapists, based on the motto that there’s a cure for just about everything, offer a variety of integrative bodywork, skincare, youth-enchancing, and IV therapies. Sink into a hot stone massage with customized aromatherapy, and revive your skin with medical-grade facials infused with enzymes, antioxidants, and vitamins. Created by a doctor and a patient, CURE uses solid medical training with safe, evidence-based products to set you on your way to a profound sense of well-being.
Follow up your afternoon of pampering your mind, body, and soul, with a quiet walk along the water’s edge, soaking up the salt air and the soothing sounds of the ocean.
Explore the Malibu Coast: Adventures for Two
While it may be tempting never to leave your room, the magic of Malibu awaits just outside the Inn’s doors. Take a short morning walk to the historic Malibu Pier, before the world wakes up, or come back at sunset to watch surfers catch the last breaks of the day. Get the endorphins flowing with a hike in the Santa Monica Mountains, with breathtaking views of the ocean and canyons, or meet your step count after dinner at nearby Legacy Park.
Indulge in retail therapy at nearby high-end boutiques at Malibu Country Mart, the antidote to cookie-cutter shopping, or browse ancient art and architecture at the Getty Villa. Pick up surf- and skate-themed art and nostalgic memorabilia at Surfing Cowboys boutique, just steps from the Inn.
Depending on the season, you might spot migrating whales from the bluffs of Point Dume (the high, rocky bluffs at the end of Westward Beach Road make a prime viewing spot). In fact, February is prime time to glimpse California gray whales as they’re heading back north with their calves. Or, discover one of Malibu’s hidden coves for a picnic away from the crowds. The Inn’s concierge team can design a personalized itinerary that matches your interests. It’s of no matter whether you’re visiting from the opposite coast or driving up from Los Angeles: there’s an escape here for everyone.
ROMANTIC RETREAT
Slip away to Malibu Beach Inn’s oceanfront hideaway, where you’ll be greeted with sweet treats and bubbly, and end your day with an intimate dinner overlooking the waves. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape any time of year, this package includes:
The Ultimate Love Story
Planning the perfect romantic retreat requires attention to detail. Stress less about perfection with Malibu Beach Inn’s curated romance packages. These stays often include perks like champagne upon arrival, dining credits at Carbon Beach Club, and late check-out so you can linger a little longer in paradise.
For Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or proposals, the Inn goes above and beyond. Imagine entering your room to find rose petals scattered on the bed, chocolate-covered strawberries waiting on the desk, and a chilled bottle of premium bubbly on ice. You needn’t lift a finger.
Go beyond a dinner reservation or an anniversary gift and give each other an experience: the sound of the waves, the taste of the salt air, and undivided attention. Heed the call of the sea, a mirror of the depth of human emotion with its vast and powerful beauty.
