About this event
Halloween gets a luxurious Emerald Coast twist at Hotel Effie Sandestin's rooftop jewel, the Ara Rooftop Pool & Lounge. On October 31, the sky-high bar transforms into a whimsical after-dark fete with oversized playing card decor, teacup centerpieces, and a festive atmosphere that blends Gulf Coast chic with spooky season fun.
Tickets include a welcome potion cocktail, unlimited tea party-style bites (think savory finger sandwiches and sweet treats), a souvenir 'Eat Me' cookie to take home, and croquet on the lawn. A live DJ spins from 6 to 11 PM, and a costume contest crowns the most imaginative revelers of the night.
With panoramic views of the Sandestin resort and the Choctawhatchee Bay glittering below, this is the most elegant way to spend Halloween on the Emerald Coast. Whether you're visiting for the holiday or happen to be staying nearby, it's a can't-miss night out.
