Nobu Ryokan Malibu
Malibu, California, United States · Virtuoso
Drifting above the Pacific, the Nobu Ryokan Malibu is a triumph of architectural carpentry and subdued hospitality. This intimate 16 room retreat honors the traditional Japanese Ryokan, featuring teak soaking tubs, indoor/outdoor fireplaces, serene outdoor patios, timeless artwork and gracious accents. From the moment you arrive, the unforgettable views of Pacific Ocean and tranquil landscaping sets the tone for a private oasis. Exclusivity and privacy are foremost, with an emphasis on low-key comfort and high-end indulgence. A host of luxurious amenities awaits you, coupled with gracious service and Nobu comforts.
Nobu Ryokan Malibu pays homage to the traditional Japanese inn while giving it a haute makeover. Super chef Nobu Matsuhisa and superstar Robert De Niro reimagined a historic 1950s motel on exclusive Carbon Beach (aka “Billionaire’s Beach”) into a California lifestyle-conscious retreat. Tatami mats, fireplaces, and original prints inspire serenity in the 16 rooms, as do the teak tubs set beneath skylights, creating the sense of soaking outdoors. Do your sun salutation on the spacious beachfront deck, and dine in your suite with a custom menu from Nobu Malibu restaurant next door.
