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 winning couple Beckham and Page, as well as which of the other final couples were still together. 

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."

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 including Harrison 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 watch party featured Love Island-inspired cocktails, multiple TVs airing the reunion, a DJ playing this season's hits, and decor including vibrant surfboards, umbrellas, and cabana-style seating meant to "recreate the villa's magic."

It was such a success that Pandolfo said, "We can’t wait to host more Love Island USA events." Yvonne Najor, VP Marketing NY Hotel, Tao Group Hospitality added, "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," Najor said.
