The most exquisite beach house on the Pacific Coast Highway
There is something undeniably magical about Malibu. The Welcome Sign says 21 miles of scenic beauty, and it’s not wrong. I have twice seen a pod of dolphins, as well as a seal frolicking in the surf, and some of the most iconic sunsets of my life; it’s a dream.
The Surfrider sits on the Pacific Coast Highway, almost directly opposite the infamous Malibu Pier, overlooking Surfrider Beach, which allegedly: “is the place to go for the ideal Southern California surfing experience”.1 As a non-surfer, at least on this trip, I can’t vouch for this but I can say that it was very enjoyable to be immersed in the culture for 48 hours.
While it is a far more sumptuous beach house than a typical motel, the layout across two floors, the neon sign and the location just off the Pacific Coast Highway give The Surfrider a golden-aged, typical American feel.
The notes of warm and welcoming luxury, however, come from the consideration and thoughtful touches for guests. As you enter your room you are greeted with the most incredible scent (they light one of their candles for your arrival - I ended up buying ours, so it makes for effective marketing too).
There are coffee table books on hand (surf-related, of course), Parachute linen robes and Grown Alchemist toiletries in the handsome stone bathroom that instantly make you feel at home.
