The Best Hotels in Malibu

"Quietly nestled on a 200-acre estate in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains, this nature retreat has been owned by the same family for five generations. Access to their beach club is worth the booking alone, but if you need more reason, consider the Ranch’s restaurants that source from their own organic farm, and their three separate pools, meaning you can always find a chaise to lounge in. Room categories include cottages, bungalows and estate rooms, each designed with sustainability and integration of the surroundings in mind. Private cottages boast outdoor rain showers, cloud-like Walker beds, and private courtyards to marvel at nature from your doorstep." - Krista Simmons
