• Relax on-property with massage-to-go services from Malibu spa Cure Wellness and morning beachside yoga (backed with a healthy breakfast from Carbon Beach Club)
  • Malibu’s oceanfront location and slower pace make it a perfect destination for wellness travelers.
  • Take in a tranquil bike trip, or clear the mind with mediation in one of Malibu’s hidden corners or mindfulness centers.

The blue skies, the expanse of sand, the casual atmosphere, the ocean breeze. If Malibu Beach Inn’s guests could use one word to sum up the Malibu vibe, that word is likely “relaxing.”

That shouldn’t be a surprise, considering how much of Malibu life is based around some of the country’s most stunning outdoor vistas (both beach and mountains). But beyond the setting, Malibu also features a thriving wellness scene, with plenty of chances to decompress, either as a vacation theme or after a day out. In fact, the Inn is currently offering a package, Vitality Ritual, which includes a Vitamin B Infusion, a foot reflexology session, and even Pressed Juicery electrolyte beverages throughout your stay – a perfect combo to recover from cheering on your favorite international soccer squad during this summer’s global football championship. With just a few moments of pre-planning, you can arrive in town with an idea how to maximize your relaxation.

Here are some ways to make wellness the central tenet – or an important side quest – of a trip to Malibu.

The Malibu Spa Experience – In House or In Room

Malibu Beach Inn partners with the best, and in Malibu that means working with Cure Wellness Center. The membership wellness club is just steps across the Pacific Coast Highway from the Inn’s front doors, and it has a special menu for our guests that includes massages, full body scrubs, facials, and even eyelash and eyebrow care. For those looking to include a massage in their stay, the Malibu spa will even come to your room for in-suite service—a nice perk for anyone who’s been jumping, singing and shouting in the stands during a match.

Practice Balance with Yoga on the Beach 

Walk along the shoreline and, at some point, you’ll certainly see locals and visitors alike stretched out on yoga mats, holding asanas in the ocean breeze. Each morning, Malibu Beach Inn hosts a class in the sand at Carbon Beach, giving guests the chance to wake up and start the day in a state of Zen peace. Even better: it’s mere steps from the hotel, where a delicious breakfast or brunch at Carbon Beach Club awaits, featuring plenty of options that will maintain that healthy glow through the day.

Stress Free Coastal Biking

If your version of serenity involves some sort of movement, Malibu Beach Inn makes a perfect starting point for a bike ride. There’s a two-mile dedicated bike lane along the PCH near Zuma Beach, but if competing with car traffic isn’t your idea of calming, then picking up the Marvin Braude Bike Trail is crucial. The path runs an astonishing 22 miles from Will Rogers State Beach in nearby Pacific Palisades all the way down to Torrance County Beach, through famed neighborhoods and towns like Santa Monica, Venice, and Manhattan Beach. Rent two wheels (and a helmet!) and follow the coast.

Find Your Zen

Malibu is a town of nooks and crannies, of bays and trails, places where you can decompress – even if for just an hour. And accordingly, it’s also a place that loves meditation, that practice of quieting and focusing the mind. If you’ve got your own practice, there’s plenty of hidden beach space where you can hide from the wider world. If you’re a beginner or just prefer a guide, there are plenty of options in town as well, including dedicated studios and more general wellness centers.It’s no surprise that a town with 20 miles of coastline specializes in whole-body wellness. Whether it’s meditation alone or a couples massage, Malibu has plenty of options for the wellness traveler. And with the calming sounds of the surf acting as the unofficial soundtrack of Malibu Beach Inn, it’s the place to seek serenity.
