This past Saturday, Montauk was the place to be as Malibu hosted a high-energy VIP takeover at Palma Day Club, tucked inside the always-buzzing Montauk Beach House. The day party brought together an effortlessly cool crowd of New York’s top creators, press, and local tastemakers to celebrate summer’s arrival the only way we know how, sun-soaked, coconut in hand, and music pumping.

Notable guests like Alex Costa, Garrett Ray, Kayla Caputo, Alexis Lete, and Carolyn Silva mixed and mingled by the pool, sipping on an array of Malibu’s signature cocktails. From Spicy Piñas and Dirty Coconuts to crisp Malibu & Coconut Waters, and canned Strawberry Daiquiris and Pineapple Bay Breezes, the drinks were just as photogenic as the crowd.

As the afternoon unfolded, the energy hit new levels with an electrifying live performance by TWINSICK, keeping the party vibe strong and the dance floor moving. With palm trees swaying, sun beaming, and coconuts flowing, the event perfectly embodied Malibu’s “Clock Off” spirit, reminding everyone that summer is for kicking back and fully living in the moment.

Whether you were dancing poolside or lounging in a shaded cabana, this Montauk takeover was the ultimate kickoff to the season, and proof that when Malibu shows up, summer officially begins.
