LIFE IN PLASTIC, IT'S FANTASTIC Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse is available to book on Airbnb with a revamped portion of the house dedicated to Ken

This July, it’s Ken’s turn to take hosting for a spin. That’s right! Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is back by popular demand on Airbnb—with a twist.
While everyone’s favorite doll makes her live-action film debut in Barbie, Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is handing over the keys and hosting an overnight stay in the newly renovated and iconic Malibu DreamHouse.

Barbie is everything, and he’s always been “Just Ken”—until now! He has revamped part of Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse with everything he loves (rollerblading, anyone?). And though guests can clearly see his, ahem, Ken-ergy, Barbie’s signature pink remains ever-present throughout the life-size, toy-inspired home, as she’s done her own redecorating since the last time the Malibu DreamHouse was available for guests.

“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” said Ken. “But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind—dare I say, one-of-a-Ken?—digs.”

Ken is adding hosting to one of his passions in celebration of the release of the highly anticipated Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig, written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.

Located in sunny Malibu, the oceanfront mansion features panoramic views and serves as the perfect backdrop for Ken’s picture-plastic paradise. Fans will be able to request to book Ken’s bedroom in the Malibu DreamHouse for two individual one-night stays for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22. All stays will be free of charge because Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse. After all, Ken’s thing is beach, not math!

While in the DreamHouse, guests will have the opportunity to live in technicolor by taking a spin through Ken’s awesome wardrobe to find their best beach fit. Look out Barbie, Ken’s got quite the closet too! They may also be able to channel their inner cowboy and learn a line dance or two on Ken’s outdoor disco dance floor or perform a sunset serenade on Ken’s guitar. They may challenge their fellow guests to a “beach off” with plenty of sunbathing and chillaxing by the infinity pool and even take home a piece of the Kendom with their very own set of yellow-and-pink Impala rollerblades and surfboards.

Everyone in Barbie Land can request to book Ken’s room in Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse beginning July 17 at 10 a.m. PT at airbnb.com/kendreamhouse. Guests are responsible for their own travel to and from Malibu.
