The Surfrider Malibu stands as an award-winning, 20-room California Beach House along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, offering stunning views of the renowned Surfrider Beach. What began as a modest 1950s motel has been transformed into an exclusive, guest-only retreat that captures the authentic Malibu experience. Originally known as the Malibu Shores Motel in 1953, this historic property overlooked the waves where Kathy "Gidget" Korner first learned to surf and witnessed decades of cultural evolution, from the dynamic sixties through the decadent eighties, playing host to legendary musicians like The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, and Neil Young.
In 2014, the property was reborn as the Surfrider Malibu, marking a new chapter in its storied history. The reimagined space combines effortless cool with thoughtful design, creating an interior that complements the natural beauty of its surroundings while maintaining the sophisticated simplicity that defines Malibu. Today, the Surfrider continues to welcome guests with uncompromising quality, offering a place where visitors can truly unwind and experience the local lifestyle, where creativity flows freely and the spirit of California living comes alive in every moment.
