Top tips for finding Malibu hotel deals

  • If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in Malibu, you should consider visiting during the low season. You'll find cheaper hotels in Malibu in January and February.
  • Hotel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll most likely find the best hotel deals in Malibu if you stay on a Sunday. The opposite is true for, Thursday, which is usually the most expensive day.
  • Book more than 90 days before your stay begins to get the best price for your Malibu hotel.
  • The cheapest 3-star hotel room in Malibu found on KAYAK in the last 2 weeks was $186, while the most expensive was $734.
  • How long should you stay? KAYAK users usually book their hotel in Malibu for 2 days.
  • If you are interested in more of a resort experience when you stay near Malibu, consider checking into the Westlake Village Inn. The Westlake village inn is a vast resort featuring two restaurants, a cocktail bar, a dance floor, and spa services for a fee. The grounds include vineyards, a private lake, and streams.
  • Because Malibu is a narrow strip of a city along the Pacific Ocean, accommodation tends to be quite pricey. For more affordable accommodation, hotels along Freeway 101 north of Malibu are convenient and usually much more affordable. You can reach Malibu by driving about 14 miles down Westlake Boulevard through scenic Malibu Canyon. One such hotel that fits this bill is the Hampton Inn & Suites Agoura Hills, which features freebies such as Wi-Fi, breakfast, and parking.
  • If you want to stay active during your travels to the Malibu area, check out the Homewood Suites by Hilton Agoura Hills. This venue offers both tennis courts and squash courts, as well as a Jacuzzi where you can relax afterward. The gym offers weights as well as cardio machines, and the venue offers opportunities to rent bicycles, play golf, and ride horses.
  • At many hotels in Malibu, you can enjoy stunning, unimpeded sea views without being right on the beach. Some hotels nestled further up the hill from the beach have window views and balcony views of the ocean, even though you have to cross two or three streets to get there. Malibu Escape and Malibu Magic are two such hotels.
  • If you want to uphold and maintain your dietary habits as you travel in the Malibu area, consider checking into the Hyatt Regency Westlake. This venue's Harvest Kitchen and Bar features farm-to-table cuisine revolving around seasonal produce and meats. The restaurant caters to all sorts of dietary lifestyles, including vegan and gluten-free, for every meal of the day.
  • If you want to spend your vacation on the beach, think about booking a hotel on Malibu’s Zuma Beach. The 3-star Malibu Country Inn is perfectly situated just a 2-minute drive away from this beautiful stretch of pristine white sand of Zuma Beach where you can spend time swimming, soaking up the sun or surfing.
  • If you would like to pamper yourself, why not stay in the luxury 5-star Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club. This property is located on a 200-acre ranch that is 6.21 miles outside the center of Malibu and from here, you can organize to do things in the area such as horseback riding, wine-tasting or just relaxing somewhere on the property. The choice is yours whether to venture outside the ranch or just take your vacation there.
  • If you’d like to stay along the famous Pacific Coast Highway, you could consider booking into the 4-star Malibu Beach Inn, which lies along the Pacific Coast Highway 10 miles from central Malibu and a 2-minute walk from the Malibu Pier where you can go for a stroll and stop in to one of the nearby restaurants on the way.
  • For surfers, you could think about booking into The Surfrider in Malibu. This hotel is located across the road from the famous Surfrider beach and has a guest-only roof top bar and restaurant that look out over the Pacific Ocean. You can rent wetsuits, surf boards and stand-up paddle boards at the hotel and there are places for you to store wetsuits and boards.
  • For visitors who like to hike, why not go and see the Escondido Falls and the surrounding Canyon Trail. You could stay in the 3-star Malibu Country Inn, which is a 15-minute drive away from the Falls where you can attempt the 4 miles hiking trail that will take you past these majestic falls.
