Why don't you go and enjoy xxx by yourself?

It is Kansai dialect. Since the context is not shown, I cannot be too certain, but to me it sounds like the speaker is implying he/she has no intension of doing the activity with the asker, though he/she doesn't mind the asker doing it.
If possible, please add more context.

Oops, of course \"intension\" is meant to be \"intention.\" Sorry!
Peer comment(s):

agree Kurt Hammond : Right. Important is that the speaker is telling the listener to go and do by him or herself. "自分で" can be thought to be assumed.

Thanks.
agree Tenten D : depending on the context, 'enjoy' is not necessary, though. But as Kansai-jin, I guess this is the best one. これでええんとちゃう?

Thanks for your comment. I put "enjoy" there because I felt a hint of "cynicism" in it. But of course that depends on the context and/or how it was said.
agree SenQ : why not... (the dialect of Kansai district)

Very many thanks.
neutral Kurt Hammond : i'm not sure if this matches the nuance of the original.

neutral Mariko Kobayashi : If only suggesting (not replying to a suggestion or repeating a suggestion), the sentence would stop at してきたら, I think, though it depends largely on the context and how it's said.

I don't mind if you do that.

Hidden message is "I won't, though".
This is a roundaround way to say "no, I don't want to".
Japanese don't like to say "NO", especially Kansai-jins".
