Think Pink! It’s Barbie’s Favorite Color

Pick a Stay in Barbie’s Hometown
Fun Fact: Barbie is from Malibu! If a destination bachelorette was on your mind, there is nowhere else that would complement a Barbie-themed party better than Malibu, California. Known for its stunning coastline and picturesque views, Malibu sets the stage for a truly memorable celebration where you can rock your own story. The sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear waters create a dreamy backdrop that perfectly complements the Barbie aesthetic. You can read more on the best spots to stay here.
Don’t worry if Malibu is out of your budget. Barbie believes that choosing the right location is like finding the perfect photo-op backdrop for your party. Remember, the goal of the party is to promote positive memories and provide ample opportunities for fun and laughter. So, really think about the type of atmosphere you want to create and let the venue reflect your vision. Sometimes, the most unexpected places can be the most memorable.
