Do you want to escape to a tropical paradise but don't have the time or budget? Well, you can still be transported abroad without ever leaving the city.

If you're looking for things to do in Toronto this summer, this venue deserves a spot on your list.

One of the 6ix's most popular outdoor venues officially reopened this month, bringing with it a stacked lineup of artists and DJs.

Cabana's official launch party took place on Sunday, June 1, giving visitors a first taste of the refreshed space.

Cabana Toronto feels like a resort straight out of The Bahamas, complete with a swimming pool, deck chairs, private cabanas, and a lively bar. The entire space radiates Caribbean energy.

Located at 11 Polson St. on the island of Ookwemin Minising (formerly Villiers Island) in the Lower Don Lands, Cabana Toronto offers a dreamy setting with panoramic views of the Toronto skyline.

June's lineup is already jam-packed with tons of well-known artists and DJs.

On Saturday, June 7, the Italian-inspired Vero Fest will kick things off with performances by Italian rapper Tony Effe, DJ duo A-Clark and VINNY, plus DJs Matty P, TIFI, and CROOKEDD from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

On Sunday, June 8, English DJ James Hype will headline the day's festivities.

If you are a Jersey Shore fan, Pauly D will spin the decks on Saturday, June 14. The following day, Belgian DJ Lost Frequencies — known for his hit "Are You With Me" — will perform.

The rest of June includes Rosé Days (June 21), Ship Wrek (June 22), James Kennedy (June 28), and legendary DJ Steve Aoki on Sunday, June 29.

Looking ahead, former Migos rapper Offset is set to perform on Saturday, July 5, with popular DJ MK playing on Sunday, August 10.

The summer season wraps up on Saturday, September 20 with 'Pink Summer' by Last Wave.

You can even arrive in style thanks to Cabana's partnership with Pirate Taxi, which offers a 10-minute boat ride across Lake Ontario — meaning you can avoid that heavy Toronto traffic!

Cabana also offers a VIP experience, with options to reserve private poolside cabanas or premium tables, complete with bottle service and personal hosts. From the mezzanine balcony, you can enjoy stunning views while sipping cocktails by the pool.

Get that swimsuit and sunscreen ready, Toronto!
