Brilliantly bright, this apartment in Calabasas is a treat for a couple or solo traveller looking to be close to Malibu and within easy reach of breathtakingly beautiful nature trails.

Inside, tall vaulted ceilings create a cathedral-like impression with large windows running along the sides of its walls. An eclectic blend of furniture, colourful paintings and gem-toned upholstered chairs give the dazzlingly white space plenty of character. At the same time, an elegant dining set waits to cater celebratory dinners and hearty breakfasts ahead of a day of sightseeing.

Open up the door here to step out onto a private balcony, giving way to woodsy cul-de-sac views. This is the perfect spot to retreat to with a glass of California wine as you watch the stars come out to play in the night’s sky.

Alternatively, fire up the popcorn machine for that authentic cinema experience, or use the peace and quiet of your location to catch up on work at the office space.

When you’re not chilling out in your stylish home, go out and explore your surroundings. The iconic Malibu Beach is just a fifteen-minute drive away, while Santa Monica is reachable by car in thirty. Alternatively, the gorgeous Las Virgenes Creek trail is just waiting to be discovered, just a few miles north of your location.
