Malibu’s Most Secluded Hideaway

The world’s first Nobu Ryokan is a sanctuary of true seclusion, set directly on the shores of Malibu’s iconic Carbon Beach. Honoring the traditional Japanese-style inn with coastal California nuances, its intimate 16 rooms and suites are hideaways of low-key comfort and high-end indulgence where the luxuries of exclusivity and privacy are foremost.

The iconic Nobu dining experience by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa awaits moments away, floating just above the Pacific shoreline. Guests of Nobu Ryokan Malibu are granted preferred reservations at Nobu Malibu through our concierge. For those seeking intimacy, Nobu in-room dining and customized menus are available at all times.
