Las Flores Canyon

Where the mountains meet the sea in Malibu’s hidden hillside haven.

Las Flores Canyon is a lush, winding ravine in eastern Malibu where the mountains meet the sea. Just off the Pacific Coast Highway, its narrow roads climb from the shoreline past stands of sycamore, oak, and chaparral, revealing sweeping ocean vistas at every turn. Quiet and tucked away, yet minutes from Malibu’s restaurants and beaches, the canyon offers a rare blend of coastal beauty and secluded hillside living.

“What I’m really interested in is the way the light falls on the landscape, how the colors shift and change with the time of day and the seasons. In California, the light is so strong and the hills are so beautiful, it’s like painting with a different kind of energy.” — David Hockney
