The iconic Barbie DreamHouse is back and better than ever! Located in Malibu with stunning panoramic views, this three-story Airbnb rental is a dream come true for Barbie enthusiasts. Recently redecorated by Ken himself, the DreamHouse features a vibrant and playful aesthetic that reflects the upcoming Barbie film by Greta Gerwig. Starting on July 17th at 10 a.m. PT, reservations will open up for this magical Malibu getaway.
The newly renovated “Kendom” welcomes lucky guests with a tufted seashell bed covered in Ken’s Western-themed bedding. The closet is filled with a variety of outfits, ranging from fringed cowboy shirts to animal print button downs, perfect for Venice Beach or a rodeo adventure. However, it’s important to note that these pieces are intended for dress-up only.
One of the highlights of the DreamHouse is the oceanview pool, allowing guests to enjoy a refreshing splash while taking in the breathtaking scenery. While you won’t be able to ride down the two-story slide (because, well, plastic), there are still plenty of other activities to enjoy. The pool area also features a fire pit called the Ken-ecue (since Barbie is no longer part of the barbeque), a disco roller rink with a DJ deck, and a rooftop gym equipped with jars of Ken’s Beefy Body Brine. While the workout weights may not be as heavy as in the real world, guests can still have a great time staying active in this stylish gym setting.
Unlike most Airbnb rentals, the DreamHouse experience goes beyond just accommodation. Guests will be able to take home a pair of Impala neon skates and surfboards, similar to the ones seen in the upcoming Barbie film. These exclusive items are now sold out online, making them even more coveted for Barbie fans.
If you’re fortunate enough to secure a reservation, it’s important to note that transportation to Malibu is not provided. You may want to channel Barbie’s adventurous spirit and call up Pilot Barbie for a fun-filled road trip to the DreamHouse. As Ken mentions in the Airbnb listing, Malibu is a beach lover’s paradise with endless sunshine, beautiful beaches, and numerous surf shops. Don’t forget your cowboy hat and sunscreen, as you’ll be able to enjoy activities such as sunbathing, shopping, surfing, and rollerblading along the boardwalk.
The highly-anticipated Barbie film, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, follows Barbie’s journey as she leaves Barbie Land in her pink Chevrolet Corvette convertible for the Real World. Co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, this romantic comedy features an all-star cast, including Kate McKinnon, Dua Lipa, Issa Rae, Ritu Arya, Michael Cera, and Emerald Fennell as human versions of iconic Mattel dolls. Additionally, America Ferrera, Helen Mirren, and Will Ferrell, among others, make appearances alongside the dolls in the film.
To celebrate the release of the Barbie film, Airbnb has pledged to donate to Save the Children. This donation will help support equal access to learning resources for children, families, and communities in over 100 countries. The funds will specifically aim to build girls’ confidence and help them excel in school, ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve success.
While only a lucky few will have the opportunity to experience the DreamHouse firsthand, Barbie fans can still bring a touch of Barbiecore into their own homes. Mattel and Warner Bros. continue to collaborate on various merchandising partnerships to promote the film and the Barbie brand. From Dragon Glassware’s pink drinkware collection to a Homesick candle inspired by the DreamHouse’s scent, there are plenty of options available to display your love for Barbie.
Other stylish items include a black fringe embroidered Western shirt by Rockmount, a plush embroidered bathrobe by Barefoot Dreams, and pink sunglasses inspired by the DreamHouse closet. Additionally, SteamLine Luggage offers retro suitcases and hat boxes in powder pink, which were spotted on Margot Robbie during her promotional tour for the Barbie film.
Get ready to embrace your inner Barbie with these fabulous merchandise options, and don’t forget to mark your calendar for July 17th at 10 a.m. PT to try your luck at booking the DreamHouse on Airbnb.com. Whether you’re able to secure a reservation or simply enjoy the film and its related products, the Barbie DreamHouse experience is sure to bring joy and excitement to fans of all ages.
