As fans gear up for the theatrical release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film on July 19, Airbnb is inviting a few lucky guests to stay in a life-size version of Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse, a pink citadel on the California coast. Recently renovated and inspired by the movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the villa sports the doll’s signature neon pink varnish. High above Malibu, the vacation home overlooks the beach and reveals a uniquely playful look worthy of the iconic character.
The colorful abode hosts two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Part uncanny dollhouse, part whimsical mansion, the three-story villa exudes “Kenergy,” with its gingham prints, leather cushions, and animal skin rugs. The home also boasts an infinity pool, a disco dance floor, a private theater, and a game room.
The stay is formally billed as an opportunity hosted by Barbie’s companion, Ken. While the beloved blonde Mattel character is away, her beau has the keys to the “Kendom” and welcomes fans to pick through his own wardrobe (per the press release, “Ken’s got quite the closet too!”) and even take home some memorabilia: a set of yellow and pink Impala skates and surfboards.
