Nobu Hotel Malibu
Nobu Hotel Ryokan Malibu is a 16-room property on Carbon Beach, built around the Japanese ryokan tradition with coastal California detailing.
Overview
Nobu Hotel Ryokan Malibu stands on Carbon Beach, a stretch of coastline known for its privacy. It is described as the world's first Nobu Ryokan, drawing on the Japanese tradition of the ryokan inn and adapting it with coastal California materials: teak, limestone and warm neutral tones. The property has 16 rooms and suites, split across three categories, Garden, Beachfront and Ocean, each fitted with a king bed.
Beachfront rooms open onto Carbon Beach from the first floor and range from 300 to 685 square feet; several have an indoor fireplace and all include a private deck. Garden rooms, between 465 and 470 square feet, face a private planted space of California palms, golden vines and staghorn ferns, with one room offering an outdoor fireplace. Ocean rooms range from 317 to 530 square feet. Bathrooms throughout feature teak soaking tubs set beneath skylights, open rainfall showers and Japanese Toto toilets.
Dining centres on Nobu Malibu, the restaurant a short distance away overlooking Surfrider Beach and the Malibu Pier, where Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's menu includes Black Cod Miso, Rock Shrimp Tempura and Yellowtail Sashimi. Ryokan guests are given preferred reservations there, and in-room dining with customized menus runs at all times. Wellness options include in-room treatments through SPIRIT Spa Services, access to the Malibu Racquet Club with its eight outdoor hard courts, and the Nobu Health Retreat programme at CURE Wellness, which pairs a consultation with a board-certified physician with IV therapy and guided meditation.
