The M Malibu

Laid-back Beach Vibes Steps from the Malibu Music Scene

The M Malibu is a relaxed, retro-modern hotel located right off the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, just 492 feet from the beach and a short walk to the Malibu Pier. With an outdoor pool, coastal views, and casual California charm, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to pair surf with sound.

Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, custom bath products, and mini fridges, with select rooms offering partial ocean-view balconies. The hotel also includes free WiFi, complimentary parking, and a friendly 24-hour front desk.

Why Concert-goers love it

The M Malibu’s location makes it ideal for shows at local beachside venues and events around Malibu. You’re just a 13-minute stroll to the Malibu Pier and under 30 minutes from larger venues near Santa Monica. The area is walkable, with plenty of nearby restaurants to grab a bite before or after the show. While the hotel is close to everything, it's tucked just enough off the highway to offer a quieter place to crash post-concert.
