A few years ago, the Malibu DreamHouse was listed on Airbnb and it’s now back on the vacation rental site in celebration of the Barbie live-action film release on July 21. The mega mansion has gotten an all-pink revamp and there’s a surprising twist this time around—Barbie’s beau Ken’s playing “Airbnb host” while she’s away making her film debut. The ground floor is, by far, the most intricate, pink, and best out of the mansion’s three floors. The infinity pool flows out, rolling over the hills, and—if you squint—it appears to be part of the ocean.

This is our ‘Barbie’ era: From a dream house to Margot Robbie and Issa Rae Barbie dolls

The newly renovated Malibu dream house sports Barbie’s signature pink polish, this time with a revamped Kenergy. Ken has decked out the house with his personal touches, like cowboy gear, guitars, games, and more. The beachfront mansion previously came to Airbnb in 2019 for Mattel’s celebration of the doll’s 60th anniversary.

Finally, we head up the steps to the top floor, which has a gorgeous view of the ocean. Ken’s telescope will give you a closer look at the wonders beyond the DreamHouse. The doll’s gym sits atop the house, with equipment that is perpetually in motion—the basketball is always in the net, the dumbbells already lifted. "I've added a few touches to bring some much-needed Kenergy to the newly renovated and iconic Malibu DreamHouse," Ken said. The Barbie film is already set to be the cinematic event of the year, but there are plenty of other on-screen locations you can stay at, from those featured on Succession to The White Lotus.

The brand also makes a cameo in the real-life Barbie DreamHouse, where the hat box can be spotted in Ken’s closet. This washable chevron rug from Ruggable’s official Barbie collection is inspired by the iconic Mattel doll’s original black and white dress. Dreams will come true for up to four people on Monday, July 17 starting at 10 a.m. PT, when reservations open up for the Malibu DreamHouse on Airbnb.com.

Up for grabs are two free one-night stays for up to two people each night on July 21 and 22. Mattel ran a fictional listing of Barbie’s Malibu Dream House in 2013 on Trulia, including a legitimate real estate agent for the campaign. Ken’s rollerblades rest somewhere on the disco ball-lit dance floor—maybe I’d try those on too, if I wasn’t so afraid I’d fall and crack my head open. I wish I’d invited some friends to throw on the Barbie soundtrack (or some horse noises?) and dance the night away. The film was recently in the news as it made "the world run out of pink", while a recent book explored Barbie's Dreamhouse through the ages.

Airbnb users will soon have the opportunity to live in a Barbie world. Mattel has listed its Malibu Dreamhouse to celebrate the doll’s 60th anniversary. Take a closer look above and you’ll see a pair of white cat-eye sunnies peeking out from the DreamHouse closet.

Aligning with the initiative, Barbie has also released many career dolls that emulate these high-power, high-intelligence careers in recent years, such as Judge Barbie, President Barbie, and Doctor Barbie. Profits from the coveted trip will support The Barbie Dream Gap Project, an initiative in partnership with GoFundMe that "gives girls the resources and support they need to continue believing in themselves." But even though the trip to Barbie heaven may be a short stay, the trip will be packed with absolutely perfect perks. Introduced in 1959, the Barbie doll has been criticized over the years for promoting unhealthy beauty standards and lacking diversity. Mattel has attempted to address these issues by releasing a wider array of dolls, including, most recently, a Barbie with Down syndrome. The ‘Barbie’ film used so much pink paint that it depleted the global reserves of its supplier, Rosco, which were already limited by supply chain issues.

Below, shop some of the official movie merch and other popular pink picks inspired by the film, and don’t forget to set your alarm for July 17 at 10 a.m. Anyone who’s played with Barbie dolls has probably dreamed of living in her Malibu DreamHouse. It has everything—all pink details, an epic pool slide, amazing ocean views, and enough space and amenities to host fun and glamorous parties. Well, some very lucky guests don’t have to dream anymore—they can make it a reality thanks to Airbnb. The company also says “everyone in Barbie Land” can request to book Ken’s room in the Malibu DreamHouse beginning July 17 at 10 a.m. The real-life version of Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is available for a limited number of overnight stays this summer on Airbnb — and while Barbie is busy promoting the upcoming “Barbie” movie, Ken is taking over hosting duties.

Airbnb will celebrate the film with a donation to Save the Children to support equal access to learning resources for children, families and communities in over 100 countries. The funds will help “to build girls’ confidence and help them excel in school – ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to achieve success,” per a release. The hot pink wonderland is full of fun details, including an infinity pool with “Ken” pool floats, a pink waterslide and plenty of Ken and Barbie-approved accessories, from surfboards to a life-size horse. A life-size replica of Barbie’s hot pink house in Malibu, California, will be available to book for two individual one-night stays this summer, Airbnb announced June 26.

Guests can enjoy nearby activities such as shopping, surfing and roller blading on the boardwalk, and will also get to take home their own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboard. The house, which was previously listed by Airbnb for Barbie's 60th anniversary in 2019, has had a recent update to give it more "Kenergy" and mark Barbie making her live-action debut in the Barbie film starring Margot Robbie. "Barbie is encouraging guests to explore her walk-in closet and journey through 60 years of incredible fashion that reflects her many successful careers," the statement read. Sadly, this SoCal home is only available for a limited time — a one-time, two-night stay — from October 27 to 29 with check-in starting at 11 a.m.

Try booking Christian Louboutin's quiet and understated new hotel in Portugal instead, or jetting off to Karl Lagerfeld's luxury Macau option for a fully five-star holiday. There are two one-night stays available for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22, so a total of four guests can stay at the house. “We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” Ken said Monday in a statement. Margot Robbie was recently spotted toting SteamLine Luggage’s retro carry-on suitcase ($550) and hat box in very on-brand powder pink while promoting Barbie in her native Australia.

In October 2019, the residence was briefly available to rent for $60 a night. Fill your space with the Barbie-approved aroma of raspberry, strawberry leaves, brown sugar, crushed mint leaves and “plastic doll accord” with Glasshouse’s Barbie DreamHouse Stawberry & Dream candle, which comes in a chic lidded glass vessel. Only a few lucky Barbie superfans will get to snooze at the pink-powered seaside property, but these cool Barbiecore finds let you recreate the whimsical experience at home. Videos and images of a mysterious Barbie house gained attention online Sunday, when a local news helicopter spotted the house from the sky. The house is by El Pescador State Beach in Western Malibu, a beach community known for wealthy residents and high-end homes—neighboring houses to the east and west of the house are estimated to be worth more than $5.2 million, according to Zillow.
