What to Expect

A high-energy, celebratory, and uninhibited weekend in the desert. Sticky Rice is designed specifically for gay Asian bears and their admirers to fully let loose, connect, and be themselves—through body-positive pool parties, a warm community vibe, and a space where you can entirely belong.

✦ THE PANDA OASIS

Hosted at Casa Oliver, a stunning private estate hidden in the heart of Warm Sands. Think swimming oasis under the hot desert sun, and maximum privacy to let loose.

✦ NO APPS REQUIRED

Skip the shallow digital noise. This is a warm, welcoming space built for big laughs, real chemistry, and making genuine friends who actually get it.

✦ CELEBRATE THE THICKNESS

Leave the body standards behind. This is a clothing-optional, judgment-free zone dedicated to radical self-love and appreciating thick, unapologetic Asian bodies.

✦ PURE FREEDOM

A naturally playful, sexually liberated vibe with zero pressure. Flirt the afternoon away, lounge poolside, and let the weekend flow exactly at your own pace.
