Body Painting Jam at Cypress Cove

Cypress Cove is proud to host a Body Painting Jam on January 10, coordinated by professional body painter Mandi Ilene. Painting begins at 3 pm in the clubhouse, where artists will spend about three hours transforming human canvases into stunning works of living art. All guests are welcome to stop by and watch the creative process unfold up close.

Mandi Ilene is a lifelong artist known for her bold colors, detailed storytelling, and dynamic body art. She is the founder of BASE Orlando (Body Art Showcase & Exhibit) and has produced more than 20 live body art shows since 2014. Her work has been featured and awarded at major national and international competitions, including events right here at Cypress Cove.

Mandi has invited an incredible lineup of artists for this jam, including "HUGGI" (Kahlil Caesar), a Caribbean-born artist with over 30 years of artistic experience, and "Chevy" Johnson, winner of the 2025 Cypress Cove Body Painting Competition, and an accomplished competitor and amazing artist in the body painting world, with more talented artists anticipated.

At 7 pm, the finished body art will take the stage at Lakeside Restaurant for a live showcase of these beautiful living canvases. Make dinner reservations by calling 407-933-3588 (Menu Here) and enjoy an evening where art, performance, and creativity come together in a truly unforgettable way.

Mardi Gras Date Change – Mark Your Calendars!

The Mardi Gras Committee has an exciting update to share: this year’s Mardi Gras Celebration at Cypress Cove will take place on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

Why the change? We want to make sure no one misses out! By shifting the celebration just a bit, our Cove family can enjoy Mardi Gras in the best of both worlds:

• Those sailing away on the Nude Cruise will be back in time to join the festivities right here at home.
• Those planning to head to New Orleans can still soak in the Big Easy experience—and then relive it with us, Cove-style (and clothing optional!).

Mardi Gras at the Cove is all about celebration—and this move helps ensure more members and guests can join in the parades, beads, music, food, and fun that define the tradition. If you've already made reservations for the original dates, please give us a call at 407-933-5870 to change your dates.

Mark your calendars, dust off those masks and costumes, take note of the theme: Mardi Gras — Cove Style, and get ready to laissez les bon temps rouler—Cove-style—on March 3!

Have You Seen Us Lately?

A fun weekend kickoff pool party with DJ Manny at the west pool on Friday. 

Live Music with Jon & Joy. They are both part of our Cove family, and this was the first time they did their full show at Lakeside Restaurant. 

They had a fantastic playlist that kept the dance floor full all night long. 

There is always work to be done when you work at Cypress Cove. We have such a hardworking & talented staff.

When the Big Red Bus comes each month to the Cove, our Cove Members rush over to give blood. 

The lending library in the Club House has hundreds of great books for you to enjoy while sitting around the pool getting a tan.
