Celebrating Over 85 Years of Hospitality
Established in 1937, Calamigos Ranch emerged as the only luxury estate dedicated to wellness and healing in the small beach town of Malibu. Founders Grant and Helen Walter Gerson recognized a rare opportunity to immerse guests in the elegantly rustic lifestyle they both loved and lived.
Driven by the family’s desire to share their beloved Malibu ranch, Calamigos continues to set the standard for recreation in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Today, under the care of five generations of the same land stewards, Calamigos Ranch continues to be Southern California’s premier destination for special events.
From our family to yours, thank you for considering Calamigos Ranch to host your next celebration.
