ALL GUESTS are invited to cap the night with a spectacular poolside after-party beneath the iconic Guitar Hotel. Sip cocktails, enjoy live entertainment, snap photos, and take in the dazzling light show. Surprises and special guests await throughout the evening.
The Guitar Hotel Light Show is a daily spectacular featuring a series of orchestrated outdoor music and lights showcasing the LED lights built into all sides of the brand-new and immaculate The Guitar Hotel. The lights are programmed to change color and intensity and are choreographed to different songs. Six high-powered beams of light accentuate the production by projecting at least 20,000 feet into the sky. The six lights mimic the strings of an imaginary guitar neck.
Join us for the after-party! VIP guests will be escorted to their exclusive private lagoon area, reminiscent of a Bora Bora ocean scene, outfitted with bungalow-style cabanas to watch the Guitar Light Show.
The Bora Bora ocean-scape is outfitted with bungalow-style cabanas offering high-end amenities, including a sofa, armchair, coffee table, ceiling fan, outdoor shower, in-water chaise loungers, private restroom, and shower.
