Facebook Tweet Pin LinkedIn

When I heard about OKANA, I expected another chaotic family waterpark. Instead, I discovered a resort that feels just as inviting for a girls’ weekend as it does for a family vacation.. Opened by the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma City, OKANA blends luxury cabanas, adults-only nightlife, and spa indulgences with late-night waterpark access. From poolside cocktails to speakeasy games, it’s the easy, unexpected escape your crew actually needs.

Highlights

How OKANA Entices You To Grab The Girls For a Weekend

Before my stay, I expected OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark to be all about the waterpark. Instead, I found a resort with thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage you to slow down and savor the weekend.

Between the adults-only pool, full-service spa, elevated dining, and lively nightlife, it’s easy to spend an entire getaway without ever feeling like you need to leave the property. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a long-overdue girls’ trip, or simply craving a relaxing escape, OKANA delivers an unexpected blend of fun, luxury, and downtime.

SheBuysTravel Tip: OKANA is a twenty-minute ride from the Will Rogers International Airport. Take a rideshare, check in for a long weekend and don’t worry about leaving the resort for anything.

Sip, Savor and Socialize at OKANA’s Restaurants and Bars

Forget typical waterpark fried foods—OKANA offers five table-service restaurants , multiple bars, and casual quick bites. The BBQ at Smokehouse Social is my top recommendation, with plenty of tender smoked meat options on the menu, but check the full dining lineup:

Jack Rabbit: Pick from a variety of elevated comfort foods at the resort’s gastropub, which is open for breakfast and dinner.
Smokehouse Social: Enjoy some friendly competition and play virtual sports while enjoying classic fall-off-the-bone BBQ.
Curveball Kitchen: Game day favorites and cocktails pair perfectly with a baseball simulator, offering a fun way to play while dining.
Chido Tacos x Tequila: Tacos, Tex-Mex favorites, and tequila unite.
Bullseye: A modern speakeasy that’s for ages 13+ during the day and 21+ after 9 pm. Sip on cocktails and try your hand at axe throwing, golf or darts.

OKANA After Hours Offers Waterpark Access Just For Adults

Adults enjoy indoor waterparks just as much as kids, and a girls’ getaway isn’t complete without floating down the lazy river. OKANA leans into this with their signature tagline: “Be a kid. Just don’t bring one.”

OKANA After Hours (10 p.m. – 1 a.m.)

Strictly 21+: Exclusive late-night access to the 100,000 sq. ft. indoor waterpark.
The Atmosphere: Just music, late-night slides, wave pool access, relaxing vibes and music.
Extras: On-site pizza, drink specials, lawn games, and private cabana rentals.

SheBuysTravel Tip: The OKANA gift shop offers last-minute extras to enhance your girls’ getaway, such as waterproof phone cases for the waterpark. It’s a must for capturing your memories without worry.

Escape to Adults-Only Spaces at OKANA Beach

OKANA recognizes the need for quiet escapes. I recommend making a reservation for a cabana at OKANA Beach (or at the indoor waterpark) before your trip .

Cabana Cove: A dedicated, shallow 21+ pool designed specifically for sunbathing with a cocktail in hand.
Swim-Up & Poolside Bars: Two poolside bars and one swim-up bar surround the lagoon to keep drinks flowing without you having to leave the water.
Private Luxury Cabanas: Reserve a private cabana stocked with chilled beverages, private TVs, and dedicated server service.

My Recommended Drink Order: Try the Spiked Watermelon Lemonade—a sweet, boozy, and refreshing poolside favorite.

Unwind at The Spa On Your OKANA Girls Getaway

When I picture a waterpark resort, I usually imagine nonstop energy, crowded attractions, and a packed schedule of activities. What I didn’t expect at OKANA was how easy it is to slow down. For a girls’ weekend, that’s exactly what makes the resort so appealing. Instead of feeling like you have to be on the go, you can spend the morning lingering over coffee, slip away for a spa treatment in the afternoon, and meet back up for cocktails before dinner.

Morning: Linger over coffee and a relaxed breakfast at Jack Rabbit.
Afternoon: Slip away for a soothing treatment at The Spa at OKANA .
Evening: Reconnect with your crew for craft cocktails before dinner.

Spa Menu Highlights: Swedish massages, hydrotherapy treatments, body wraps, custom facials, and full salon services.

SheBuysTravel Tip: Don’t want to leave your lounge chair? Book an in-cabana massage right at the outdoor lagoon and let the spa come to you.

Spread Out in Luxury Suites

Hosting a group getaway doesn’t mean you’re giving up space. OKANA’s suite options allow your crew to get ready comfortably and be within walking distance of every onsite experience:

Junior Suites: Flexible king or double-queen layouts.
Multi-Room Suites: Feature dedicated living areas, separate bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms (a huge perk for groups getting ready for dinner).
Views: Choose between sweeping views of the 4.5-acre outdoor lagoon or the Oklahoma River and downtown OKC skyline.

Beyond the Resort

While you could easily spend your entire weekend without ever stepping foot off-property, you’re ideally situated to explore a bit of OKC. Just next door, the First Americans Museum offers incredible Indigenous art, immersive exhibits, and Native-inspired dining—a perfect cultural stop for groups.

If you’re craving a change of scenery or a night on the town, downtown Oklahoma City and the lively Bricktown Entertainment District are just a quick ten-minute rideshare away.
