This old school Malibu motel was recently remodeled as a boutique hotel with an ocean view, rooftop restaurant and really sweet rooms and porch hammocks. It is located right near the center of town, a very short walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants.

Calamigos is a short drive from the PCH and tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains. They have a delicious restaurant and a beautiful pool and spa.

The Nobu Hotel is located right on the shore and a short walk from the center of town. It is stunning.

Much like The Surfrider, the Hotel June was once a rundown landmark Malibu motel that has recently been converted into a chic boutique destination. It is located on the northern side of Malibu, which has a more quiet, local feel, iconic beaches, and its own little shopping center.

This is one of those places that feels too good to be true. It is a health nut’s dream. Ice cream, smoothies, milkshakes, tacos, salads, sandwiches, bowls, all cooked with high-quality, gluten-free ingredients. Hard not to order everything on the menu. But if you did, you would still leave feeling guilt free!

Local chef, Helene Henderson, brought the old run down Malibu Pier back to life with her restaurant and cafe. Located on the scenic PCH overlooking the ocean, this farm fresh locally sourced restaurant is one of Malibu’s finest.

A staple for all Malibu locals, Vitamin Barn has been around forever and so have all their lovely employees. It’s the place to go for your supplement and health food store fix. The Pamela Smoothie (named after Pamela Anderson, of course) is out of this world!

This family-run, second generation Malibu Farm is where you will find all the locals on Saturday mornings shopping for organic produce for the week. They sell my mom’s biodynamic produce from One Sun Farm and her cult favorite granola that is addictively delicious.

When Broad Street Oyster Co. opened up, I was over the moon! Oysters are my favorite and I was so glad not to have to venture far for really delicious, fresh shellfish.

Abierto is my favorite shop in Malibu. It is so perfectly curated and carries some of my favorite skincare brands including C & The Moon. It is the perfect place to shop for a gift for anyone and everyone while waiting for a smoothie from Sunlife Organics.

Hiptique is located at the far north end of Malibu across from Zuma Beach. They have a great selection of clothing and swimwear with a West Coast feel.

This shop is located at the end of the Malibu Pier across from the Malibu Farm Cafe. The Pier is a picture perfect tourist destination with a rich history. The shop has everything from luxury cameras and clothing to toys for kids.

This Malibu-based brand makes the softest clothing that are perfect for every occasion. They truly embody the Malibu lifestyle.

This crystal and book shop has been around for as long as I can remember. It is one of few local shops that has remained over the years. It is a Malibu staple and a go to for all things metaphysical.

The Mindry is a meditation space located in the heart of Malibu. I wish every town was lucky enough to have a Mindry; it’s such a special place to be in community and drop into meditation with guidance and sacred space.

This is one of my favorite places to be in Malibu. In the springtime, the daisy bloom is breathtaking. If you sit on the bluff long enough, you will see dolphins and maybe even whales depending on the time of year. It’s a great place for a sunset stroll and a fun place to bring kids.

The Ranch is a profoundly rewarding experience that challenges the body and mind in the best way. This fitness retreat includes long daily hikes through some of the most stunning ocean view trails, nourishing healthy meals, daily massages, and a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel.
