Airbnb's Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse: blend of playful chic and California glamour

In a whimsical collaboration that seamlessly merges iconic dollhouse charm with California extravagance, Airbnb and Barbie have once again captured hearts with the stunning Malibu Dreamhouse.

Nestled on the sun-kissed shores of western Malibu, this life-sized masterpiece has been given a vibrant makeover, radiating Barbie’s signature “Kenergy” and marking her momentous live-action debut in the upcoming Barbie film starring Margot Robbie.

Boasting a picturesque oceanfront location, the Malibu Dreamhouse embodies the epitome of chic living, catered to the modern-day doll and her partner, Ken. The meticulously curated design and styling of this all-pink mansion exude a harmonious blend of fantasy and reality, offering an experience that transcends conventional accommodations.

Step inside and be enveloped by the enchanting aura of Barbie’s world. The interior spaces are a seamless fusion of modern elegance and playful sophistication. The Western-themed bedroom, , captures the essence of the American frontier with its charming rustic accents and a touch of Barbie’s signature pink flair.

The large oceanfront house features a pink bedroom decorated with cowhide rugs, cowboy hats and horse-printed throws as well as a closet from which guests can borrow Ken’s fringed cowboy shirts and his guitar. Some of Barbie’s clothing, including the iconic high-heeled pink shoe with a fluffy feather decoration from the movie, also hang in the closet.

The outdoor haven of the Dreamhouse is nothing short of a paradise. The infinity pool, where the waters seem to blend effortlessly into the Pacific horizon, offers an ideal spot for relaxation and contemplation. But the real star of the show is the outdoor disco, where visitors can groove the night away under the starlit Californian sky, encapsulating the exuberant spirit of Barbie herself.

Barbie’s partner, Ken, serves as the gracious host, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience life in Barbie’s shoes. His Airbnb listing, written in a style befitting the dashing doll, invites guests to “immerse themselves in the world of Barbie” and relish the opulent lifestyle that this dreamy haven affords.

The Dreamhouse also has a bright-pink outdoor lounging area, an outdoor gym – complete with a barrel filled with “beefy body brine” – a pink outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and an infinity pool. Other details that nod to Ken’s takeover include a Western-style swing door, decorated with an image of a horse and the words “Kendom Saloon”, and a crossed-out “Barbie” sign above the outdoor kitchen that now reads “Ken”.

The Malibu Dreamhouse has garnered global attention since its initial unveiling for Barbie’s 60th anniversary. Now, with its stylish makeover, the Dreamhouse stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Barbie and her ability to continually captivate audiences of all ages. As the world eagerly awaits Barbie’s big-screen debut, the Malibu Dreamhouse serves as a tangible testament to her ever-evolving legacy.

In the heart of Malibu, where the azure waves meet the blushing sky, the Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse stands as an enchanting monument to the beauty of imagination, design, and the enduring charm of a timeless icon.
