As Life & Style previously revealed, Mariah Carey recently went on a "babymoon" for a few days of luxurious rest and relaxation before the arrival of her twins!

Now Mariah opens up about the much-needed getaway with close friends to Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, Calif.

Mariah and her guests nestled in on 102 lush oceanside acres that afford daily dolphin sightings "the setting is so indescribably beautiful," Mariah tells Life & Style. Terranea provided a breathtaking backdrop for playing rousing games of Taboo and Catch Phrase with her pals, nibbling on tasty treats from the Spa Café and indulging in as many relaxing spa treatments as possible.

"As my fans know, I love the ocean, and I love dolphins. But I never dreamed I'd be sitting fireside in a copper tub watching schools of wild dolphins passing by throughout the day!" gushes Mariah.

Mariah Carey's babies with hubby Nick Cannon are due any day now and the couple can't wait to meet them!
