About

“Oase” is a word in Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, German, and Norwegian languages, where it conveys the idea of a shelter or haven— a peaceful refuge from the rush of everyday life. In Italian, the word is spelled “oasi,” and in English, we know it as “oasis.”

How is it pronounced?

Pronunciation varies across all regions of the world. In Korea, it sounds like “oasiseu,” while in Lithuania it carries a soft z‑tonality, “oaze.” Because the word has many cultural variations, we encourage you to pronounce it in whatever way feels most natural.

If you have trouble finding a suitable pronunciation, you can consider the Norwegian tonality, which carries a sense of awe and breath‑catching wonder. It can be expressed as: “ooo • aaah • suh.”

Why Malibu?

The founder of this company once lived and worked in Santa Monica, navigating the constant congestion of greater Los Angeles—where traveling just two miles for dinner could take half an hour. Malibu became the perfect weekend escape from that daily grind.

It offered ocean air, scenic drives along Pacific Coast Highway, and a stretch of coastline from Reel Inn (now lost to fire) to Neptune’s Net that felt timeless. With minimal commercial development, Malibu carried a vintage, almost 1970s atmosphere—at least before the devastating wildfires of January 2025 reshaped the region.
