Malliouhana's 'Sea & Stars Adventure' Illuminates Anguilla's Night Sky and Young Minds

Anguilla's Premier Resort Celebrates 40th Anniversary and Impact of Groundbreaking STEM Education and Stargazing Experience

ANGUILLA, BWI (November 13, 2024)-Malliouhana, Anguilla's premier luxury resort, concluded a week-long educational and experiential series from November 4 to 9, 2024, marking a stellar highlight in the resort's 40th Anniversary Season of Celebration. "The Sea & Stars Adventure" featured an innovative program that seamlessly blended STEM education, citizen science, and stargazing.

Showcasing Malliouhana's commitment to luxury hospitality and expanding scientific engagement in the local community, the events set a new benchmark for experiential travel in the Caribbean.

Educational Outreach and Community Impact
The adventure began with an island-wide school outreach program that touched the lives of hundreds of Anguillian students. Dr. Franck Marchis from NASA-affiliated partners SETI Institute and Unistellar led an international team of experts in visiting local schools, inspiring young minds with:

• Engaging presentations on STEM career opportunities
• Hands-on space demonstrations
• Rare displays of moonrocks and meteorites
• Introduction to Malliouhana's new smart telescope

"Our goal was to spark curiosity and expand interest in the exciting possibilities of science, technology, and space among Anguilla's youth," said Dr. Marchis, Chief Scientific Officer at Unistellar and Senior Planetary Astronomer at the SETI Institute. "The enthusiasm we witnessed was truly astronomical."

VIP Reception and Community Engagement
Malliouhana hosted an exclusive VIP reception attended by the Governor of Anguilla, government ministers, and other distinguished guests. This event underscored the resort's commitment to community engagement and its role in promoting Anguilla as a destination for luxury and educational tourism.

Public Stargazing Events: A Celestial Success
The week culminated in two public stargazing events at Leon's at Meads Bay, featuring:

• An expert panel discussion on the future of science and space exploration
• Hands-on experience with Unistellar's cutting-edge smart telescope and app
• Live feeds from volunteer citizen scientists across the globe

"The Sea & Stars Adventure at Malliouhana exemplifies how luxury hospitality and science can create unique, enriching experiences," said Laura Rose, Managing Director at Storey Hotel Management Group. "We are so grateful to the dedicated team of experts for their time, commitment and passion in creating this groundbreaking experience."

Ongoing Celestial Experiences
In a move that will continue to captivate guests long after the event, Malliouhana unveiled its newest permanent fixture-a state-of-the-art Unistellar ODYSSEY smart telescope. This addition allows guests to:

• Engage in ongoing citizen science projects
• Enjoy unparalleled views of the cosmos throughout their stay
• Participate in a unique blend of luxury and scientific discovery

As Malliouhana celebrates its 40-year legacy, "The Sea & Stars Adventure" has set a new standard for experiential luxury in the Caribbean. By integrating cutting-edge technology and scientific discovery into its offerings, the resort continues to provide guests with unforgettable experiences that transcend traditional resort amenities.

"This event not only celebrated our past but also illuminated our future," said Logan Miller, Malliouhana's Managing Director. "We're committed to offering our guests unique Anguillian experiences that are innovative and highly experiential, setting us apart in high-end hospitality on the island."
