AirBnB announced on Monday that the DreamHouse in Malibu will be available for fans to book two free one-night stays for two guests apiece on July 21 and July 22.
The stays will be free of charge because, according to an Airbnb press release, ‘because Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse.’
Fans can start to request a room at the DreamHouse on Monday, July 17 at 10 AM PT at AirBNB.com/KensDreamHouse.
The press release – which features photos from photographer Joyce Lee – even includes a quote from the fictional Ken – played by Ryan Gosling, who just embarked on a global press tour with co-star Margot Robbie.
‘We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,’ said Ken in his statement.
‘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,’ he added.
The DreamHouse is located in Malibu, California, an oceanfront mansion that, ‘features panoramic views and serves as the perfect backdrop for Ken’s picture-plastic paradise.’
Fans who stay in the DreamHouse will be able to explore, ‘Ken’s awesome wardrobe to find their best beach fit.’
They will also be able to learn some line dancing on, ‘Ken’s outdoor disco dance floor’ or the musically included can perform, ‘a sunset serenade on Ken’s guitar.’
Guests will also be able to sunbathe and relax near the infinity pool, and they will even go home with some impressive souvenirs.
Fans will get to take home, ‘their very own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboards’ after the stay.
Airbnb will also honor the upcoming movie’s themes of girl empowerment by making a one-time donation to Save The Children.
The Save The Children organization, ‘provides learning resources and support to children, families, and communities in 100+ countries to build girls’ confidence and help them excel in school – ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to achieve success.
This isn’t the first time the DreamHouse was opened up to Airbnb guests, with the home’s private owners posting it on the site in October 2019.
Back then, fans could pay $60 a night for the stay, commemorating Barbie’s 60th anniversary.
Those stays included fencing lessons from world champion Ibtihaj Muhammad, makeovers from celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin and a cooking lesson from chef Gina Clarke-Helm.
The private owners of the home have not been revealed, though the home was listed for $25 million back in 2013.
