Vacation Rentals in Malibu

If there's one legendary resort on the California coast, it's definitely the elongated coastal town of Malibu, with its palm-fringed beaches and countless chic villas in the picturesque hills. Would you like to spend your holidays door to door with Gerard Butler or Miley Cyrus? No problem, because there is certainly no lack of stylish accommodation here. From a modern furnished apartment to a vacation rental on the beach with sea view and private beach, everything is offered here what the holiday heart desires. You will find what you are looking for along the coastal road. Alternatively, you can move into a villa-like vacation rental with a palm garden, pool and magnificent views of the Hills. Even for larger groups there is enough space, after all some villas offer nearly 600 square meters of living space. Hollywood-style holidays are guaranteed.

The beautiful coastline of Malibus stretches over almost 50 kilometres and is not only dotted with endless sandy beaches, but is also known for its excellent waves. If you've always wanted to try your hand on the board, you'll be able to soak up the Malibu magic at Surfrider's Beach and take a ride in the world's first surf reserve. On the other hand, those who are looking for a quiet bathing paradise will get their money's worth at Zuma Beach. Even if it is difficult to get away from the sea, you should make a detour into the hinterland. With its mountains, gorges, wildflowers and waterfalls, the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area is a great adventure playground for nature lovers. Alternatively, at "Malibu Wine Hikers" you can take part in a guided wine hike through the most beautiful vineyards of the region - tasting included.

The south of California has its charm all year round. With up to 12 hours of sunshine per day, surfers and water rats get their money's worth between mid-June and the end of September. Those who prefer to put on their hiking boots in the Southern Californian national parks should book their vacation rental or apartment for the mild months of March, April, May, October and November. As a starting point for a city trip to Los Angeles, a vacation rental in Malibu is also worthwhile in winter.

Los Angeles, also called La La Land, is the yearning destination of countless travellers. No wonder, because the metropolis only a few kilometres away from Malibu has more to offer than almost any other city with the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Sign, the Universal Studios Hollywood, the original Disneyland, the Griffith Observatory and the world-famous Santa Monica Pier.

Those who arrive between November and April can experience a very special spectacle from the balcony of their apartment, when the annual migration of the grey whales takes place directly before the coast. Get even closer to the gentle giants on a whale watching tour. But also from May to October the trip to the sea is worthwhile, especially as seals and dolphins cavort there all year round.

The east coast of the USA is known as the melting pot of eating cultures. The selection of excellent restaurants in Malibu and the surrounding area is correspondingly large. Go to a chic beach bar and enjoy specialties like California Roll (avocado with crab meat), blackened mahimahi, tuna in sesame crust or Ceasar salad with Parmesan anchovy dressing.
