What Makes Malibu Stand Out

Premium Build with German Roots

Malibu, now a distinct brand within the respected Carthago Group, has developed a solid reputation since being introduced as its own marque in 2013. Today, their motorhomes strike a perfect balance of elegance, quality, and practicality.

Innovative Double‑Floor Construction

One of Malibu’s hallmark features is the double-floor design, a rarity even among luxury models. It provides superb insulation in varied weather and generous underfloor storage, making it ideal for UK touring. Practical Motorhome and Which Motorhome? have both praised Malibu’s excellent thermal performance and spacious layouts.

Versatile Range of Models

Whether you’re drawn to nimble coachbuilt units or sophisticated A‑Class motorhomes, Malibu offers models to suit every preference:

Coachbuilt / Semi‑integrated: Lightweight (≤ 3.5 t) and Comfort (≈ 4.2 t) versions built on Fiat Ducato or Mercedes‑Sprinter platforms.
A‑Class: Luxury interiors, panoramic views, dropdown beds, multi-access storage, and refined ambience.
Malibu Genius: A smart, compact van-style built on a Sprinter with rear extension — offering SuperMax bathrooms, spacious garaging, swivel lounges, and even optional 4×4.

Attention to Detail

Across all models, Malibu delivers:

Comfort-centric features: ambient LED lighting, soft-close drawers, high-end furniture, and heated flooring.
Functional storage: XL double-floor compartments, large garages, and clever access points make packing and living on the road seamless.

Built for Trust and Performance

British consumers value reliability and Malibu delivers. Their engineering heritage, high build standards, and competitive pricing have helped earn a strong foothold, even in the face of supply chain challenges. The result? Growing popularity and increasing brand recognition across the UK.

Award-Winning Models

The Malibu Genius 641 LE won praise at the 2025 Motorhome & Campervan Design Awards, impressing judges with its clever use of a Sprinter base, rear pod design, and thoughtful layout in a compact 6.43 m frame. Additionally, the Genius 641 LE was named the most luxurious campervan in the 2025 Practical Motorhome Awards.

Benefits of Malibu for UK and European Travellers

Malibu’s unique build means their motorhomes remain highly manoeuvrable on UK roads, whilst still offering plenty of space inside with full washrooms, generous kitchens and multiple sleeping areas. Recent data from the National Caravan Council (NCC) shows a 15% rise in winter motorhome bookings over the last few years. Malibu’s clever design makes cold weather touring not just possible, but pleasurable, so no matter the weather you are covered in Malibu motorhomes.
