Morphology
The meaning 'an event unlike any other' is directly and transparently derived from combining the adjective 'unique' (one-of-a-kind) with the noun 'experience' (an event or occurrence); the adjective–noun compositional pattern yields the intended sense without metaphorical shift. This construction is cross-linguistically common and follows basic English grammar, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase unique experience comes from a simple picture: unique means 'one of a kind' and experience means 'something you live through'. So it describes 'an event unlike any other'.
