More on Wawyé Oasis

In the palm of West Michigan, the Wawyé Oasis is a destination unlike any other in the Midwest. A beautiful glass atrium will house over 32,000 square feet of paradise with live palm trees, tropical flora and other features kept at a sublime 80°. This venue will feature two distinctive pools, a 21+ VIP Pool and a fun-filled Family Pool. Guests can lounge in the private cabanas, take a trip to the snack bar or swim-up bar and enjoy a leisurely play beneath the bright, natural light.The energy shifts after sunset as spotlights and shimmering LEDs transform the resort into a state-of-the-art concert venue. The tropical scenery takes on new life as the performers take the stage, inviting you to move to the music and embrace the moment. The Wawyé Oasis is an experience that promises to bring you back again and again.
