Nobu Ryokan Malibu Brings Traditional Japanese Bathing Rituals to L.A.

You don’t have to travel far to give yourself the ultimate relaxing gift this year. Inspired by bathing rituals in Japan, Nobu Ryokan Malibu brought these traditional customs to your backyard with their Art of Bathing package.

The ritual of bathing dates back to sixth-century Japan and was believed to cleanse the soul— a belief that has lasted through time. Today, bathing is a time for the most calming meditation. There is truly no better way to relax and revive yourself than in the warm, tranquil water.

As we settle in for the final stretch of winter, all of this and more will be available for guests at Nobu Ryokan Malibu. After check-in, you'll be taken to the luxurious Suiheisen Suite, which features a state-of-the-art outdoor teak soaking tub. From your tub, you can enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean and goodies from the hotel's partners, Be Here + Farm, Detox Market and Slip.

When you arrive, enjoy the delicious green tea and matcha welcome cake! To set the ambiance of your first soak, make sure to light the outdoor candles and pour yourself some complimentary champagne to celebrate. The soaking tub can also be filled with custom bath salts by Detox Market to create an even more relaxing soak that will help de-stress your body and mind. During your soak, try out the custom Be Here + Farm face serum to help cleanse and refresh your face from all of the LA pollution. Even your night’s sleep will be luxurious with the Caramel Slipsilk eye mask by Slip that comes with the room!

When you aren't soaking, the on-demand yoga classes and the virtual personal Fit session with one of their instructors will be available. For dinner, remember to utilize the priority reservation service that comes with your stay and book a table at the equally renowned Nobu Malibu just steps away from the hotel. The next morning, enjoy breakfast in your room or on the beautiful beachside deck to further enjoy your stay.

The curated wellness collaborations that fostered this package make the Art of Bathing that much more soothing. This isn’t surprising when everything has been thought of to ensure every guest has a memorable and rejuvenating soaking experience.
