Magical Malibu: An Insiders Guide
Its 27 miles of pristine Pacific coastline have attracted surfers and stars for decades, but Malibu is still about embracing the California lifestyle
A native of southern California, Jeff Hyland is partner at Hilton & Hyland Real Estate, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. He spoke to Luxury Defined about the enduring appeal of this most iconic stretch of sea, surf, and sand that is home to some of the world’s most enviable real estate.
Why would buyers want to live there?
Malibu, the legendary “27 miles of scenic beauty”, is home to spectacular coastline and pristine beaches, perhaps the finest of which is Broad Beach (along with Carbon Beach, it’s known as Billionaire’s Beach). Even more than simply a name or place, Malibu is really a lifestyle. Although less than 30 miles from the heart of Beverly Hills, Malibu feels a world away and has long been a refuge for celebrities, nature lovers, and surfers alike.
