Our Story

Rooted in Nature. Grown with Heart.

A Legacy of Hospitality, Reimagined in Nature.

Calamigos Ranch began as a vision to share the peaceful, rustic charm of Malibu’s untouched canyons. What started over 80 years ago as a family retreat has grown into a premier destination rooted in wellness, community, and timeless California beauty. Guided by generations of thoughtful stewardship, Calamigos is more than a place—it’s a feeling.

THE ORIGINAL CALAMIGOS “STAR C“ RANCH HAS REDEFINED AS THE PREMIER DESTINATION RESORT CENTERED AROUND REFINED TRANQUILITY,  WELLNESS AND COMMUNITY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ICONIC MALIBU, CALIFORNIA.

Proprietors Grant and Helen Walter Gerson foresaw a unique opportunity to immerse and expose guests to an untouched, and elegantly rustic lifestyle that they both lived and loved.

FUELED BY A MULTI-GENERATION FAMILY'S DESIRE TO SHARE THEIR UNIQUE CORNER OF MALIBU, THE LAND STEWARD’S FOCUS HAS RESTORED, BUILT AND CREATED A SANCTUARY FOR GUESTS AND MEMBERS TO ENJOY.

Operated by a world class leadership team, with an extensive background and combined 40 year experience at some of the most celebrated brands (Auberge, Belmond, Bulgari, Patina Group, Virgin), the new operational team has transformed Calamigos into the #1 rated resort in Southern California, and amongst the top in the World.

As an award winning destination, featuring a unique guest hotel and beach club, and as a top event venue - Calamigos is proud to invite you to a different place- one that celebrates a lifestyle of quiet elegance, and unparalleled natural beauty. As the setting for your next vacation, or your special event, we invite you to experience 80 years of hospitality for yourself.
