Fall down the rabbit hole this Halloween and step into an enchanting Alice in Wonderland–themed Halloween party like no other. On Oct. 31, the iconic Ara Rooftop Pool & Lounge at Hotel Effie Sandestin, Autograph Collection, transforms into a whimsical world of wonder, mystery and playful mischief.

Sip a “welcome potion” cocktail, feast on tea party–style bites available from 6-8 p.m., and take home a sweet “Eat Me” cookie as you explore a rooftop wonderland filled with glowing décor, live beats, and a festive atmosphere. Dance the night away to a live DJ from 6–11 p.m., challenge friends to croquet on the lawn, and strut your best look for a costume contest worthy of the Queen of Hearts.

Tickets are $65 per person (plus tax) and include valet parking, treats and entry to the night’s spooky-chic festivities.

Post your costume on Instagram, tag @HotelEffie with #hoteleffiehalloween and #ararooftop, and see if you’ll be crowned the winner live at 10 p.m.
