5 California Luxury Escapes from Beverly Hills to Malibu Shores

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across this quintet, Southern California’s most coveted settings frame a shared devotion to resort-style living, privacy, and architecture that blurs the line between indoors and out. From gated Beverly Hills pedigree with commanding basin-to-ocean views to Malibu estates defined by beach rights, multi-structure compounds, tennis courts, and glass-forward contemporary design, each home is composed for hosting and restoration in equal measure. Rounding out the five is a Tehachapi homesite where oaks, wildlife, and lake views offer a quieter, build-ready counterpoint.

Beyond a gated entry north of Sunset in prime Beverly Hills, this contemporary residence—first offered since being built by an engineer for his own family—pairs modern geometry with timeless craftsmanship. A dramatic glass-and-stone arrival sets the tone, anchored by a sweeping spiral staircase, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that frame unobstructed views stretching from Downtown to Palos Verdes, all without a lengthy hilltop drive. The floorplan is notably flexible: a bright lower level with its own private secondary entry is suited for multiple additional bedroom suites, a high-tech wellness center, or an independent guest wing, complemented by a main-floor primary sanctuary and staff quarters. Daily life is supported by a Viking and Sub-Zero kitchen, 500+ bottle wine cellar, full-service elevator, and a 5-car collector’s garage with motor court. Outside, a dark-bottom infinity pool, dual cold-plunge spas, sport court, and citrus orchard complete the setting.

Beyond private gates in a coveted Malibu enclave, this Spanish Mediterranean estate unfolds as a rare multi-structure compound with resort-style ease and beautifully updated interiors. A gated motor court leads to a covered entry and wood double doors opening into a luminous two-story foyer. Formal living and dining rooms set an elegant tone, while the chef’s kitchen—marble counters, a large island, and Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Fisher & Paykel appliances—overlooks the grounds. In the family room, vaulted beamed ceilings, wood floors, a grand fireplace, and French doors blur the line between inside and out, with a staircase descending to a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Outdoors, brick terraces frame a large pool with automatic cover, an in-ground spa, pergola living and dining, a Lynx outdoor kitchen, lawns, fruit trees, and privacy hedges, plus an outdoor gym area and a full tennis court with stadium lighting.
