By Invitation Only – Ocean Blue WORLD

Sushi & Sake With
Ocean Blue World

VIP partners, influencers and private guests of Ocean Blue World gathered last week over a Sushi & Sake Lunch hosted at the trendy Nicksan Palmilla. This chic and intimate afternoon as part of Ocean Blue’s exclusive events unlocked a magical experience with notable personalities, entertainment, and of course, extraordinary culinary creations.

In the secluded sanctuary of Nicksan Palmilla, where the essence of Japanese culinary artistry is seamlessly interwoven with the zest of Mexican heritage, guests of Ocean Blue were greeted with a “Tequila Tease” cocktail, an elixir that marked the commencement of the #OceanBlueExperience. Attendees interacted with special guest El Charro González who arrived in his signature Day of the Dead aesthetic while a graceful geisha walked amid the guests offering a perfect photo opportunity. Adding more beauty to the day, artist Rodrigo Azanza Zepeda orchestrated a live painting titled “Golden Symbiosis” of a blooming gold orchid and a pink-toned eclipse in a ceramic plate.

To the rich melodies of a classical string duo, guests were led to their tables where the narrative of taste was about to unfold. A trio of courses, the Sushi & Sake Lunch, beckoned. Each bite a fusion of cultures—be it the Sashimi Bluefin, Maki de Langosta, or Huachinango Sellado accompanied by Sake Bull Rider Junmai Daiginjo. The sweet finish? A lemon cake paired with Sake Sparkling Shirakabe.

The entertainment continued with an interactive origami-making experience and a luxury raffle with gifts from Gallery, TOP 10´S and Hayet Abdala. The lantern-designed #OceanBlueSwagBag featured Asian-inspired gifts for all to enjoy as well as the 34^th edition of Ocean Blue Magazine featuring David Beckham #OnTheCover.

Celebrated alongside Nicksan’s 30th anniversary, this Sushi & Sake Lunch took guests on a unique culinary adventure swooning with unique style, creativity and bespoke excellence. Ocean Blue World would like to thank Nicksan Palmilla, Chef Ángel Carbajal, Carmen Carbajal, El Charro González, Rodrigo Azanza Zepeda, Gallery, TOP 10’S, Hayet Abdala, and the coordinated efforts of the Ocean Blue team led by Vanessa Fukunaga, Owner and CEO of Ocean Blue World and Engel & Völkers Snell Real Estate.

A WHOLE LOT OF FASHION, JEWELRY AND DESIGN AT OCEAN BLUE’S TRENDING TEA PARTY

No matter how one prefers tea to be served, there’s something to be said about the act of gathering in good company and enjoying a cup of tea. Ocean Blue World unveiled their own playful spin on the classic tea party experience with a whole lot of fashion, jewelry and design…and of course, all the trimmings of a dreamy teatime. The sweet spot? Dalia. Located inside the renowned Viceroy Los Cabos resort, Dalia restaurant became the unique tea room offering lavish surroundings, plush furnishings and a delicate menu of traditional treats. Whisk yourself away for an afternoon of trendy tea and go behind the scenes at yet another spectacular #OceanBlueExperience.

By invitation only, the women who wow in Los Cabos were invited to a five o´clock sitting of afternoon tea with white glove service from Viceroy´s finest. Dressed in elegant vintage attire with fabulous fascinators of all colors and kinds, guests were greeted by soft music and waiters in trimmed blazers pouring chilled mimosas and Bellinis. True to the customs of a tea party, the charming outdoor garden space was staged to perfection and fit for a royal indeed. Table settings, décor and event design by Los Cabos Warehouse Rentals took attention to detail to a whole new level, including the Ocean Blue Glam Lounge with its blue-themed cozy furnishings. Pretty pastel shaded florals by Lola del Campo dressed every inch of this dreamy location defining a “Field of Wild Flowers” theme.

And so “Teatime” commenced. Served in artistic ceramic pieces that were as beautiful to look at as they were to use, classic teas such as Jazmin, Ruby Red, English Breakfast and Matcha were gracefully sampled and enjoyed. The menu offered a wide range of both savory and sweets. The egg salad sandwich, chicken coronation, Victoria sponge cake and warm scones went down a treat. As the ladies sipped and top media including Foro TV, Reforma Moda, Glamour Magazine, QPR and Ocean Blue Productions prepared their coverage, the fashion show began. Sonia Falcone, founder and president of the AMA Foundation dedicated to saving the seas, presented her spectacular AMA Designs pop up fashion show — an exclusive collection of dresses, swimwear, blouses, accessories and handbags all made with 100% natural materials. The simply exquisite Daniel Espinosa jewelry was incorporated into the show as well as some furry friends including @caboava. Fashion and design were having a moment and it was hats (fascinators) off in recognition of these iconic artists.

A ONE OF A KIND #007 EXPERIENCE

It was as good as it gets. Ocean Blue World´s #007Experience in partnership with Nicksan was an iconic evening full of entertainment and style.

As the first hints of a new Ocean Blue Event season are starting to rise from a place of pause, here´s an in-confidence sneak peek at the year´s first socially safe #ByInvitationOnly event.

Sublime floral decorations by Lola del Campo complemented the table settings and surrounding living spaces bringing to life the vibrancy of the occasion.

Tea was served. Luxury French tea masters Dammann Frères presented an exclusive tea tasting experience taking guests on a private sensory journey. As waiters served the selected teas including Coquelicot and Rooibos Vainille in gorgeous ceramic teapots, heavenly aromas of hibiscus, caramel, green tea and passion fruit filled the air. It wouldn’t be an authentic afternoon tea without all the traditional spreads catered and served by Casianos. Elegant serving trays brimmed with teatime treats of freshly baked pastries and dainty finger sandwiches. Then, care for something sweet? Miniature puddings of chocolate-mousse tarts, salted-caramel choux pastries, and exquisite OBW tiered cakes undeniably stole the show. On to the drinks menu, Ocean Blue World launched their own signature Bubble Bar in partnership with Home Ossy Bar delivering refreshing cocktails and a unique mixology experience.

As the event rolled on into the evening, a myriad of luxury giveaways were presented from Dammann Frères, Cypres, Tanya Moss, Casianos, Craic Yacht, and of course Ocean Blue. Adding to the trendy flair, guests let their gaze wander to the stunning Cabo Chic AMA designs by Sonia Falcone – an exclusive collection of blouses, shorts, dresses, accessories and handbags all made with 100% natural materials. When it was time for a touch up, Ocean Blue World´s Beauty Bar made for a flirty find in the home´s oversized powder room. Before departure, guests were able to take their memories home with the perfect photo opportunity at the charming green forest-like arrangement.

“For all luxury tea enthusiasts, this was the event to attend.
