Inside Wawyé Oasis: Michigan’s New Tropical Resort & Concert Venue

GRAND RAPIDS NEIGBORHOODS waywe

Just off 129th Ave in Wayland sits a tropical destination that feels like it shouldn't exist in the Midwest. Wawyé Oasis is a 32,000-square-foot glass atrium kept at a steady 80°, filled with real palm trees, tropical plants, two distinct pools, and a full restaurant and bar setup. It's part indoor resort, part entertainment venue, and entirely worth the visit.

What to Expect

There are two pools: a Family Pool and a 21+ VIP Pool. Day passes start at $20 on weekdays and $30 on weekends. Guests can rent cabanas or day beds, each with an assigned server, and enjoy complimentary water and Coke products for up to 8 guests (cabana rentals only).

Hours:

  • Monday–Saturday: 9am–5pm
  • Sunday: 10am–7pm
    Location: 1123 129th Ave, Wayland, MI 49348

Food & Drink

The Oasis Bar & Grill offers a wide-ranging menu with classic appetizers, burgers, salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, and hot dogs. You’ll also find creative frozen cocktails, coffee drinks, and poolside classics. Popular drink picks include the Blue Oasis, Cherry Sunset, and their fresh fruit mojitos.
