At this year's first ever Coachella fashion week in Palm Springs, [Hawaiian Tropic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-tropic-products) teamed up with designers Tracey Reese, Nanette Lepore, SIWY and WHiT to offer a [calming outdoor cabana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-club-activation) to help people unwind.

Under the protection of the upscale tent, visitors were able to indulge in a number of good-for-you things, from refreshing beverages to massages and yoga classes. Since these indulgent activities are all in line with keeping bodies healthy and skin looking its best, this is a clever way to balance entertainment and sun protection.

As well as supplying people with ways to rejuvenate, the brand's presence celebrates Sarah Hyland as the new spokesperson and promotes the [Island Sport](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-island) sunscreen line. This stunt in Palm Springs marks the first in a series of events that will soon be coming to New York City and Miami.
