"The Surfrider delivers all that you could want from a Malibu stay: access to the beach (it’s literally across the street!), a view (head to the roof to watch the sunset), and great food (its on-site restaurant sources ingredients from some of the best nearby farms). The rooms are done up in a beachy beige perfection with linen-upholstered seatings and rattan accents. Spend your days surfing and your nights on the hotel's roof drinking a cocktail by the fire. You’ll feel miles away from the buzz of L.A. —Lilah Ramzi, contributing editor"
