Hollywood Hills Luxury Japanese Zen Retreat with Views, Hot Tub & 3 Bedrooms

FIFA World Cup 2026 • Now accepting bookings for an exclusive, romantic Hollywood Hills Japanese-inspired Zen retreat, an intimate hideaway for couples, honeymooners, and discerning travelers seeking a unique luxury Hollywood Hills vacation rental in Los Angeles.

Entering Merkaba Home is like stepping into a quieter rhythm of Los Angeles. The sound softens, the air feels clear, and natural light moves gently across warm wood and stone. Designed in the spirit of modern Japanese architecture, this architectural, design-forward home offers a sense of spacious calm and refined simplicity. It is a sanctuary for guests who value privacy, presence, and thoughtful design, and a romantic backdrop for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, and meaningful time together. A true romantic getaway in Los Angeles and a peaceful Laurel Canyon retreat.

The Space
The interior is open and unobstructed, with clean architectural lines, curated furnishings, and a seamless indoor–outdoor connection. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites the canyon landscape inward, creating harmony between the home and its surroundings. The atmosphere is soft, minimal, and restorative. Nothing is excessive; everything supports ease of living in this modern Zen retreat.

A fully equipped kitchen, meditation-friendly common areas, and quiet corners for reading or reflection create a home ideal for unhurried mornings and restful evenings, whether you are sharing a slow breakfast for two or winding down after a day exploring the city.

Sleeping Arrangements
The home offers three private suites, each designed for rest, privacy, and a calm, Zen-inspired atmosphere.

Panoramic Suite & View Loft (Upper Level):
King bed, private balcony, fireplace, and direct access to a 450 sq ft sundeck with panoramic canyon views. The suite includes a Hinoki-style soaking tub for spa-inspired bathing, creating a serene, hotel-style retreat perfect for romantic stays, honeymoon nights, sunrise coffee in bed, or stargazing together under the night sky.

Canyon & City View Spa Suite (Lower Level):
Expansive suite with king bed, stunning canyon and Los Angeles city views, and a Japanese-inspired spa bathroom featuring a Hinoki soaking hot tub, and a walk-in shower—a private lower-level retreat for restoration after a day in the city.

Zen View Wellness Suite (Lower Level):
A tranquil suite with a full-size bed and beautiful canyon + Los Angeles city views, created for deep rest and daily wellness rituals. Equipped with a meditation cushion/seat and two Japanese Zen yoga mats, it’s ideal for sunrise stretching, breathwork, or unwinding in quiet. The suite includes a private full bathroom with a basalt-stone walk-in shower for a grounding, spa-like experience.

Bedding is hotel-grade, selected for comfort, breathability, and softness.

Bathing & Wellness
Bath spaces draw influence from Japanese bathing culture: warm water, quiet lighting, natural materials, and elemental calm. Smooth stone surfaces and deep Hinoki-style soaking tubs create spa-like bathrooms that encourage slow bathing rituals and restoration—perfect for an extended soak after a day in the city or a spa-like, candlelit bath shared with someone special on a honeymoon or anniversary.
Exclusive wellness option: Merkaba Home partners with Tomoko Spa to offer in-residence Japanese massage treatments, available by advance reservation for guests seeking deeper relaxation and a private couples’ spa experience at home. This makes Merkaba Home feel like a private wellness retreat in Los Angeles.

Outdoor Spaces
Terraced outdoor areas are designed for stillness and reflection.

Zen courtyard with seating and water feature
Upper Kyoto-style deck with open sky and sweeping views
Lower cedarwood hot tub deck, surrounded by canyon greenery and city views

Morning light here is gentle. Evenings glow in muted tones of the hills. These outdoor spaces are ideal for meditation, yoga, tea, or quiet conversation, as well as romantic sunset moments, a glass of wine under the stars, or a peaceful soak together in the hot tub overlooking the canyon. This Hollywood Hills vacation rental with views offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to nature.

Location
Situated in historic Laurel Canyon, the home offers rare privacy while remaining minutes from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, the Sunset Strip, and local markets, cafés, and dining. It is close to everything yet protected from everything, ideal for guests seeking Los Angeles FIFA World Cup 2026 accommodations and World Cup 2026 luxury lodging in a calm, private setting.

Who This Home Is For
Ideal for guests who appreciate architecture and design, minimalism and restorative environments, slow mornings and quiet evenings, privacy, presence, and natural surroundings. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic, intimate setting for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals, or other special moments, and for travelers looking for a luxury Japanese-inspired villa and Zen sanctuary in the Hollywood Hills.

Not suited for events or large gatherings. This is a sanctuary for stillness.

Parking
Two mid-size vehicles may park inside the enclosed private garage. One additional parking space is available directly outside the garage. Please avoid using any other spaces on Rugby Pl. Additional parking is available on Beech Knoll Rd as available.

Merkaba Home is not just a place to stay, it is a space to exhale, reset, and return to yourself. A thoughtfully designed retreat for those who appreciate calm, beauty, romance, wellness, and the quiet luxury of simplicity in the Hollywood Hills.

Beyond our expectations.....

Our experience with this property was truly sublime, an incredible home, with no detail missed. It is a perfect mix of edgy cool and comfortable beauty. We feel lucky to have spent time in this magical home. Tamir and David were everything you love about people; warm, generous, and gracious. It is a top dollar rental and worth every penny.
