With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and your own private beachfront, Carbon Beach Villa is the epitome of luxury vacation rentals in California. This four-bedroom contemporary masterpiece welcomes up to nine guests, offering them a sumptuous interior and enchanting exterior in the heart of Malibu.

Malibu is that quintessential southern Californian location that immediately makes you think of golden beaches, rolling surf, and beautiful sunsets across the Pacific Ocean. Running through the heart of it is the Pacific Highway, one of the most important transport links in this part of California that enables you to explore the Santa Monica mountains and the coastline towards Ventura, or the glittering highlights of LA. Malibu has its own attractions, too, such as the Getty Village, the Malibu Lagoon Museum and the gorgeous Grotto Trail. Group hiking or mountain biking tours can be arranged by your dedicated concierge.

Carbon Beach Villa stands in glorious seclusion, its white-fronted exterior and multiple sun terraces all making the most of that western aspect towards the sea. Inside, the open-plan layout allows the cool sea breeze and bright natural light to bring a sense of space. It's accented by a neutral décor that's given a flash of individuality by the various examples of artwork on the walls, and lavish furnishings. The dining area has a view of the ocean, or you can choose to eat al fresco on the terrace for some million-star dining in the evening. The kitchen is elegant and stocked with the latest high-end appliances, complemented by Shaker-style cabinets.

The four opulent bedrooms share the same mindful interior colour palette that allows the blue ocean views to come to life through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading out onto private balconies. The primary suite is exquisitely designed with a king-size bed, expansive private deck and an extra-large walk-in closet, with an ensuite that makes copious use of Italian marble and high-end fixtures. Two further guest rooms have king-size beds, while the final bedroom is ideal for younger guests with a bespoke twin bunk bed.

Outside, the infinity pool sparkles in the sunlight, but take just a few steps down some sun-bleached wooden steps, and you're sinking your toes into the warm, soft sand of Carbon Beach. This stunning villa is everything you could dream of for that idyllic SoCal lifestyle where the sunsets are endless and the surf is always inviting.
