Extraordinary things happen when extraordinary people put their hearts and minds together! With 15 years of spectacular non-stop entertainment, the official opening celebration of Amber Lounge Monaco 2018 kicked off with U*NITE and a night of fashion, music and motorsport.
Amber Lounge is the ultimate VIP lifestyle experience at Formula 1’s most exhilarating Grand Prix destinations, where guests celebrate the race weekend with F1 drivers, A-listers, celebrities, royalty and sports stars. The perfect antidote to all that edge-of-your-seat spectating, it’s the place where guests can rub shoulders with the drivers as they let their hair down after a tough weekend of adrenaline-charged F1 racing. This glamorous social soiree has subsequently become Formula One’s best-kept secret.
Monaco in Monte Carlo, the home of Amber Lounge and undeniably the most iconic of all Grand Prix locations, kicked off the season with its signature high-octane celebrations. The F1 weekend marked the 15th Anniversary of Amber Lounge, a major milestone for this world-renowned, luxurious entertainment brand. For three extraordinary nights, Amber Lounge delivered a thrilling, non-stop nightlife experience, marked by electrifying moments and legendary parties.
This year, Amber Lounge also saw a new name join the scene of international world travel and Formula One lifestyle: Jet Candy. A brand built on successful synergies, Jet Candy took a small but significant place at the Amber Lounge U*NITE party, to bring wellbeing and importantly, a jet lag remedy to the glamorous gathering jetting off around the globe after the Grand Prix. Since the first Monaco Grand Prix held in 1929, the attending guests and drivers are finally able to travel the globe without the drag of jet lag!
Jet Candy works by allowing the internal body clock to function during long-haul, and also helps with dehydration, disorientation, fatigue, mental sharpness and other symptoms associated with the disruption of the circadian rhythms. The remedy comes in a travel-sized dispenser with a practical pill distributor cap, perfect for carry-on, which you can tap, twist and take on the go.
It was certainly “go” at Amber Lounge! In the esteemed presence of Prince Albert II, the opening evening raised an impressive amount for Race Against Dementia, a charity with the mission to fund breakthrough and innovative dementia research launched by famed Formula 1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart, whose wife of 54 years, Helen, has recently been suffering from the brain disease.
F1 drivers also took to the catwalk, including Pierre Gasly, Charles Leclerc and Monaco GP race winner Brendon Hartley, joined by Sky Sports F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham, BBC TV presenter Lee McKenzie, and the founder of Amber Lounge herself, Sonia Irvine.
Sonia, regarded as a pioneer of the most sought-after F1 nightlife experiences, commented on her 15 memorable years at the helm of such a special business. “This journey has been an incredible privilege,” she said. “At every event, we aim to provide our guests with the most entertaining and luxurious way to experience the true glamour of F1. Our success with Amber Lounge really comes down to creating fully bespoke venues, attention to detail and like-minded partners.”
The next stop for Amber Lounge is Singapore, the birthplace of the F1 night race. The next stop for Jet Candy, meanwhile, is quite literally the rest of the world. Since aircraft have taken travel to new heights across different time zones, with Jet Candy you can enjoy the journey and kick your jet lag forever. And as a side note, following the amazing Amber Lounge opening party, guests were reportedly delving into their cool goody bags, as Jet Candy was recommended as a great post-party remedy!
