Fabulous ocean views, stylish homes, and dusty canyons describe this wealthy area, comfortable between Santa Monica and Malibu. Even though there is a downtown village of sorts south of Sunset Boulevard, natural land is the main draw here, attracting visitors to hiking trails or along the Palisades’ winding roads.
Getty Villa
Impressively balanced on an ocean-view hillside, this museum in a replica 1st-century Roman villa is an attractive, 64-acre showcase for Greek, Roman and Etruscan ancient times. Dating back 7000 years, they were combined by oil tycoon J Paul Getty. Galleries, peristiles, courtyards and greenly landscaped gardens entrench all style of decorations, busts and mosaics, millennia-old cut, blown and colored glass and brain-bending geometric shapes in the Hall of Colored Marbles. Other tourist attractions include the Pompeii fountain and Temple of Heracles.
The upper terrace has the best sight of the attractive courtyard garden neighboring a shiny pool – and down to the ocean – and there are plays and events in the more modern amphitheater.
Saddle Peak Lodge
Country side as a Colorado mountain lodge, and placed into the Santa Monica Mountains with a stream running underneath, Saddle Peak Lodge work for up elk, beef, buffalo and other game in a setting observed over by mounted versions of the same. Though the fittings are rustic timber, this is adequate dining, so don’t come here after a day on the trail.
Hidden Treasures
This one-of-a-kind store pops from the Topanga Canyon roadside, thanks to skeletons and dummies dressed like Egyptian eunuchs and Viking warriors, standing sentry amongst the old wagons and icon poles out front. Intimate it’s a widespread old-fashioned boutique of (mostly well-curated) sweaters and coats, sweatshirts, ponchos and wool flatteries, denim jackets and leather bombers – all the retro-hippie basics or visit Brentwood CA.
El Matador State Beach
Malibu’s most stunning beach is El Matador Beach, where you park on the hillsides and stroll down a trail to stonework rock towers that rise from bright green bays. Topless sunbathers swim through the tides, and dolphins breech the surface beyond the waves. It’s been wedged by coastal attrition, but you can still find a sliver of dry sand tucked against the bluffs.
