Barbie fans and Hot Wheels collectors, get ready — this summer, two of the most iconic brands are joining forces for an epic takeover at Cove Manila! From 5 April to 25 May 2025, Okada Manila transforms its luxurious indoor beach club into a world of vibrant color, playful nostalgia, and high-octane excitement.
The Barbie x Hot Wheels takeover at Cove Manila is the ultimate family daycation event. Under Cove’s massive UV-protected glass dome, guests can enjoy crystal-clear pools, chic private cabanas, and immersive experiences inspired by the legendary toy brands.
On one side, Barbie brings her signature sparkle to the beach club, complete with glamorous fashion runways, fabulous photo installations, and life-sized Barbie Dreamhouse displays that invite guests to play, pose, and dream big. Kids and grown-ups alike can express their style and creativity in themed play areas that celebrate everything bold, bright, and empowering about Barbie.
On the other, Hot Wheels revs up the action with high-speed race tracks and interactive zones designed to thrill. Whether you're a casual fan or a seasoned collector, there’s plenty to explore—from epic stunts to toy stations where you can find exclusive collectibles.
So whether you're looking to unleash your inner fashionista or test your speed on the track, Cove Manila is the place to be this summer.
Don’t forget to snap a few photos with the larger-than-life displays and soak in the beach vibes—without even leaving the city!
