The cast of Love Island USA took New York City by storm to celebrate the season 6 reunion.
Stars like Olivia "Liv" Walker, Kaylor Martin, Rob Rausch, Andrea Carmona, Leah Kateb, Serena Page, JaNa Craig, and Kenny Rodriguez descended upon the Moxy Chelsea ahead of the season 6 reunion episode as hundreds of fans gathered outside.
Walker and Martin even enjoyed a private pizza party in the hotel's sky-high Mondo Suite, which they documented on social media. Harrison Luna and Kordell Beckham were also in attendance, and like Walker and Martin, had so much fun that they asked to extend their hotel stays.
Fans eagerly anticipated interactions between Martin and Aaron Evans, who had a tumultuous relationship on the show, especially after Evans' dalliance with Casa Amor's Daniela Ortiz Rivera. Many were also excited to see which of the final couples were still together, and how things were going for the other halves of the beloved PPG — "Power Puff Girls," which refers to besties Kateb, Page, and Craig.
Throughout the week the season 6 stars stayed at the hotel while conducting private interviews, photoshoots, and more. "I noticed Love Island USA was taking off this season, so I wanted to create space for fans of the show to gather at Moxy," said Julia Pandolfo, the Sr. Director of Marketing for Lightstone. "We were originally inspired to partner with Bradley Kearns, who hosted a finale watch party that drew in over 300 fans, with a handful of ex-Islanders in attendance."
Everything was leading up to the premiere of the reunion episode. On Monday, August 19, over 500 fans assembled for a sold-out watch party at Magic Hour Surf Club's Moxy Times Square. They were joined by Love Island stars past and present, including Luna, Kyle Darden of season 5, Chanse Corbi, Phoebe Siegal, Chazz Bryant, Sereniti Springs, and Bella Barbaro of season 4, and season 1 winner Zac Mirabelli.
"The reunion watch party was an even bigger success... prompting us to move it to our largest venue in the hotel! It's been an incredible journey to watch fans find community and friends at these events. We can't wait to host more Love Island USA events," Pandolfo said.
The watch party featured Love Island-inspired cocktails, multiple TVs airing the reunion, a DJ playing this season's hits, and decor including vibrant sunflowers, surfboards, umbrellas, and cabana-style seating meant to "recreate the villa's magic."
"This summer, Love Island USA fans experienced the rollercoaster of love and friendship in Fiji from the comfort of their couches. Magic Hour Surf Club provided the perfect setting for a nostalgic reunion watch party, allowing fans to fully embrace an endless summer vibe," said Yvonne Najor, VP Marketing NY Hotel, Tao Group Hospitality.
