Carbon Beach

… Within a 20-minute stroll along the sand is a choice of acclaimed restaurants including Nobu, Malibu Farm and Little Beach House. Or hike / cycle into the rugged coastal peaks, with elegy-inducing views of the southern Californian coast – all within an easy hit of LA’s galleries, museums and nightlife.

With five bedrooms accommodating up to ten guests, exceptional features include the internal cactus-filled courtyard surrounded by spacious ground-floor living areas and kitchen.

Upstairs’ bedrooms come with fabulous bathrooms – the main bedroom has two, alongside a private terrace with its own al fresco fireplace.

There’s also a gym, book-lined office, cinema room and wraparound deck with direct access to Carbon Beach.

Naturally, all fixtures, fittings and furniture are of the highest spec; the design pieces one of a kind.
