The inaugural Sensory Scapes event will take place on Saturday, 2 November 2024 from 4 PM - 8 PM at Arriba and will take on a heartfelt theme of El Día de Muertos (the Day of the Dead); a traditional Mexican celebration, celebrated annually on 1-2 November, that brings family and friends together to honour and remember loved ones who have passed.

As night falls, Seabass will take guests through a diverse selection of tunes ranging from Balearic, disco, techno, house, rock, pop, and psychedelic music, embodying the festive spirit that makes El Día de Muertos a heartfelt celebration in Mexican culture. the ears, and the palate.
Specially-Crafted Cocktails by Aditya Yonida
Arriba’s Bar Manager, Aditya Yonida, will elevate the festivities with two exclusive cocktails crafted specifically for this event, featuring Don Julio Blanco tequila. Made from the finest blue agave and distilled using a time-honoured process, Don Julio Blanco is tequila in its purest form. Often called “silver” tequila, its crisp agave flavour with subtle hints of citrus make it the perfect base for creating innovative and refreshing cocktails.
WIND’S WHISPER (IDR 160,000++ / glass) is a tribute to El Día de Muertos, inspired by the wind— a wandering spirit that drifts between worlds as the boundaries between the living and the departed fade. With a Don Julio Blanco tequila base, this cocktail combines the delicate sweetness of lychee, the warmth of agave, and the crisp brightness of clarified citrus, all elevated by a refreshing splash of soda water. Each sip honours the spirits returning to celebrate with the living on this special day.
LA SANGRE VIVA (IDR 160,000++ / glass) draws inspiration from the marigold petals that guide the souls of the departed back to the living, and the vibrant ofrendas (altars) filled with offerings. This cocktail symbolises the beauty and joy of life with a bold mix of Don Julio Blanco tequila, agave and tomato juice. Deep red like blood, the tomato juice signifies life itself, adding richness and intensity to the drink. It’s a cocktail that celebrates life and serves as an offering to the spirits, meant to be savoured while remembering and honouring those who came before
In addition to the bespoke cocktails above, guests can also enjoy exclusive drinks promotion on the day:
