The Perfect 48-Hours in Malibu

You’re going to drive down Friday afternoon (hello summer Fridays) and you’re going to go straight to Cielo farms for a wine tasting (beat the Saturday crowds, this place is stunning and the perfect start to the weekend.

We’ll do our boujee dinner tomorrow night, tonight you want something quick easy and delicious you’re going to go to Cholada Thai (seriously so good for a casual Friday night).

Now if you want to go out after you can hit up Nobu for a drink, Soho House or Cafe Habana has karaoke that the tiktok girlies have been loving (laid back beach vibes and owned by Cindy Crawfords husband)

Saturday you’re going to wake up and order room service with the hotel credit you get by booking your trip through Fora, or you can save and use it at the spa later and head over to Lily’s for their breakfast burrito.

Depending on the type of day you want to have there's Malibu Country Mart for some shopping (Alfreds, cafe Luxx, and sun life organics, are all in this little area too for a mid-morning coffee fix or smoothie. You can’t miss Ralph Laurens store The Ranch at the end (it’s iconic and truly invented coastal cowgirl).

For lunch I’d hit up Taverna Tony - it’s a Mediterranean restaurant and you have to order all the dips!

Now for the afternoon you can do another easy wine tasting at Strange if you like rose and then can head back to the hotel to nap and refresh before your fancy dinner or you can head over to Rosenthal's patio sit watch the sunset and wait for your dinner reservation.

Dinner options for night two are Nobu (I know you want to, it is beautiful, but it is pricey) You could go to Geoffrey’s, Mastros, or Lucky’s (which would be my preference and a celebrity sighting is almost guaranteed).

I'm hoping you’re waking up refreshed because we’re going hiking and then the beach. For hikes you can do Point Dume or Escondido falls

For the beach you can do Zuma or El matador and if a hike really isn't you’re thing I’d also recommend looking into early morning surf lessons (and then you’ll already be at the beach) or a morning horse ride which is always my favorite then laying out for the day.

and for a late lunch / early dinner as you head back to LA stop at Malibu Farms to end the weekend on a high note but if that’s too packed as parking can be a nightmare (just pay the $15 i promise it’s worth it) but if not stop at paradise cove beach cafe on your way home and Instagram the pineapple drink. I hope you enjoyed your weekend in Malibu!
