The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, a luxury residential-style resort on Oahu, recently announced a new flower drop at sunset offering just in time to celebrate National Lei Day on May 1.
Debuting on National Lei Day, a longtime statewide tradition to celebrate the spirit of aloha, the nighttime flower drop was created to showcase the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and mark a new wave of experiential programming at the resort, which opened in July of last year.
On Mondays and Fridays at sunset, guests and locals alike are invited to gather around the stunning eighth floor infinity pool as thousands of fresh flower petals are delicately released from a higher floor.
From crisp dendrobium orchids to fragrant plumerias, with the gentle Hawaii breeze guiding the bright petals to the ground, along with views of the Pacific Ocean in the background, this special ritual offers a great opportunity to capture that awesome Instagram photo or video. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach is the only resort in Hawaii to offer a flower drop for guests and plans to offer the experience nightly beginning in the summer.
To cap off the experience, guests can sip on handcrafted Hibiscus Margaritas – the resort’s signature cocktail –made with Herradura Silver tequila, wild hibiscus, Cointreau, and lime, while taking in the iconic Hawaiian sunset. The new signature cocktail is available at BLT Market.
The sunset flower drop will be one of many distinctive experiences to come at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, all of which will embrace the island spirit and natural beauty of Hawaii.
