The Spotlight on The Surfrider Malibu

Chill Coastal Vibes Just Steps from the Music

Modern, beachy, and effortlessly cool, The Surfrider Malibu brings a boutique hotel experience right across from iconic Surfrider Beach and Malibu Pier. With a design that channels California surf culture and an exclusive guest-only rooftop deck, this is a spot where laid-back luxury meets oceanfront relaxation. Whether you're catching a show in Malibu or heading down the coast to Santa Monica or LA, this hotel puts you within scenic reach of some of the area's most intimate and iconic music venues.

Each room is thoughtfully styled, with some offering stunning sea or mountain views—perfect for unwinding after a high-energy concert night.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 17 miles from LAX and a short drive to West LA venues, The Surfrider Malibu offers a peaceful retreat after a show. The calm of the Pacific helps balance out the buzz of live music, and while it’s not in the heart of the city, its quiet beachfront location is a big win for fans who want to recharge. The complimentary surfboards and paddle boards are a fun daytime bonus before heading out for evening performances. While check-in is at 3pm and check-out at 11am, the hotel’s intimate size makes for a smooth, relaxed arrival and departure.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want to combine music and Malibu beach time
- Solo travelers seeking a peaceful base near LA shows
- Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
- Fans looking for a serene, stylish post-show escape
- Budget-conscious travelers may want to splurge a little here, but the experience delivers

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s rooftop deck bar and restaurant is reserved exclusively for guests and offers fresh, coastal Californian fare with unbeatable ocean views—ideal for a pre-show bite or a laid-back nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, morning coffee is complimentary, and plenty of Malibu’s best restaurants are just a short walk or drive away. Late-night dining is more limited in the area, but the rooftop’s ambiance more than makes up for it.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music itself, its proximity to Malibu’s casual bar scene and scenic hangouts makes it easy to keep the vibe going. For those willing to drive or rideshare, venues in Santa Monica and West Hollywood are within reach. Back at the hotel, the rooftop bar is the perfect place to sip a local wine or craft cocktail under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the chic coastal design, ultra-friendly staff, and unbeatable location across from the beach. Reviews consistently mention the peaceful atmosphere and the rooftop as standout highlights. Many appreciate the thoughtful amenities like beach gear, complimentary WiFi, and morning coffee that add to the relaxed, home-away-from-home feel.

Areas for Improvement

While loved for its tranquility, The Surfrider isn’t for those seeking a party vibe or late-night food on-site—Malibu quiets down early. Rooms are on the smaller side, and parking can be tight. But for concert-goers wanting a more serene, scenic stay, it’s a worthwhile trade-off.

The Bottom Line

For music fans seeking a stylish, oceanside escape with a laid-back vibe, The Surfrider Malibu hits all the right notes.

Fantastic

Liked: The property was perfect very clean with beautiful furnishings and a very comfortable room. The staff member we dealt with was very knowledgeable and had great suggestions on where to visit in Malibu. Also the property is very green with wild flowers.The room was excellent really enjoyed the ambiance and relaxing feel. The bed was great had a super night’s sleep. The bathroom was great with a powerful shower and high end wash gels.
Disliked: There wasn’t much to dislike for a short stopover however there could be more options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast options were very limited and lunch and dinner was unavailable.The room doesn’t have coffee making facilities but has a full minibar. No gym facilities or swim facilities which could be easily installed.

Lovely beach resort, clean and...

Liked: We received a warm welcome from the staff. We were escorted to our room and given the tour. Loved this property and will visit again.
Disliked: The recent fires and mudslides / closure of PCH caused the staff shortage which meant no dinner on property. But we understand.
