Event #1: DESERT ISLAND PARTY
Set sail for a fun, low-stress resident event with a Desert Island–themed party that brings playful, tropical energy right to your community. With just a few creative touches—like treasure chests filled with gold-wrapped candy, tropical bird décor, netting, and pops of island color—you can transform your space into a laid-back island escape complete with the allure of adventure, exploration, and treasure.
Keep the setup simple with a grab-and-go snack station featuring “pirate booty” snacks, tropical treats, and refreshing drinks. Add a little excitement with gold bar–style goodie bags for residents to take home, and consider a small prize drawing or scavenger-style activity to keep things interactive.
This theme works because it’s lighthearted, visually fun, and easy to participate in. Residents can drop by, grab a treat, and enjoy a quick escape from their day, while the playful details create memorable moments that spark conversation and connection.
The desert party can include these additional activities:
SPLASH BASH
Do this event by the pool and have a contest where your residents have to dive for treasure at the bottom of the pool!
MOVIE NIGHT
Enjoy this event with one of your favorite summer movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, an ocean documentary, and more.
JEWELRY MAKING
Trade your typical crafting event for a jewelry making or friendship bracelet workshop so residents can make their own gems.
BOOZY PAINTING
This setup is the perfect snack table for a boozy painting class of a tropical island. Just add tropical drinks, wine, or beer!
EVENT #2: Bounty bar
Create a grab-n-go bounty bar with the island's treasures and invite your residents to unleash their inner adventurer.
This also makes wonderful gifts for move-ins, renewals, and maintenance leave behinds.
EVENT #3: treasure hunt
Hide gems around your community or hide emojis within your Instagram posts.
Either way you host it, invite all of your residents to go on a fun treasure hunt, take a picture or screenshot based off your clues, and then award them with a prize!
