Dream of being a Barbie girl in a Barbie world?
Through booking site Airbnb, travelers can make their childhood fantasy — a stay at a full-sized Malibu Dreamhouse-themed mansion on the coast of southern California — come to life.
In celebration of the iconic brand’s 60th anniversary, the glamorous Barbie Dreamhouse Airbnb Experience boasts amenities such as an infinity pool with a water slide, an open-air meditation room, a small movie theater, third-floor basketball court and panoramic views of the Pacific.
With Barbie’s aesthetic in mind, the decor is chic, modern and, naturally, awash in pink.
Along with the dreamhouse, Airbnb has been opening up its reservations to other experiences, including a night on the Goodyear Blimp and a stay at the Jim Beam distillery in Kentucky.
Lucky guests will also have the opportunity to take part in just the sort of culturally enriching hobbies Barbie enjoys, led by other impressive women like herself: Fencing pro Ibtihaj Muhammad will be on hand for private lessons; Jill Meyers, an aerospace engineer, is offering in-depth tours of the Columbia Memorial Space Center; and local chef Gina Clarke-Helm can teach you how to cook with California’s farm-to-table fare.
There will, of course, be no shortage of makeovers at the Barbie Dreamhouse Airbnb Experience, with hairstylist-to-the-stars Jen Atkin dropping by with a team of stylists, Mane Addicts Creator Collective.
In honor of Barbie, Airbnb will also make a donation to the Barbie Dream Gap Project GoFundMe initiative, which aims to encourage young girls to pursue any career path they choose and increase the representation of women in all fields.
The doll company has lately ditched Barbie’s high-heeled aesthetic for something a little more inspirational, launching dolls in the likenesses of icons such as Rosa Parks and Sally Ride as well as a gender-neutral doll and “Judge Barbie.”
Reservations are surprisingly affordable at $60 per night, to commemorate her 60th year. The Barbie Dreamhouse on Airbnb will open for booking on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. for a maximum of four guests and a two-night stay between Sunday, Oct. 27 to Tuesday, Oct. 29.
