Where to Stay: Nobu Ryokan Malibu

Winter 2022|Trends, Travel

Your night begins with a warm bath in one of Nobu Ryokan Malibu’s Japanese-inspired teak soaking tubs; you almost drift off to sleep, but you remember you have a 7 p.m. reservation at Nobu Malibu—the west coast “temple” of sushi perched just steps from the ocean (and just steps away from your room). Make your way down Nobu Ryokan Malibu’s private steps to Carbon Beach, walk along the water for a moment and in a blink, you’re enjoying Chef Matsuhisa’s iconic miso-marinated black cod. Stroll the few hundred feet back to your room and you’re lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean washing over you, the smell of wood-burning fireplaces, and salty sea air. Welcome to the ultimate sensory experience courtesy of the luxurious Nobu Ryokan Malibu, where those lucky enough to experience the oasis will forever have the memory imprinted in their minds.
