Welcome to Island Lanai, your backdoor escape to the enchanted tropics! This vibrant outdoor Tiki bar, right in my backyard, is where vintage Florida meets exotic adventures, inspired by the former legendary Tiki Gardens of South Seas Polynesian theme park in Indian Shores, Florida. My love for Tiki culture started young, and now it's a thriving project that began in early 2024.

The Island Lanai is a living project, always growing and changing with fresh treasures and authentic touches. I hunt for unique finds at garage sales and thrift shops, and let my creativity run wild to add my own personal flair. The heart of this oasis is a stunning bamboo and thatch Tiki bar, which I carefully restored from a damaged state.

Though I don't partake in alcoholic drinks, I'm committed to perfecting non-alcoholic versions of classic Tiki cocktails, ensuring everyone can savor these tropical delights. My mission is to transport you to exotic tropical locations with every sip, offering a curated menu of timeless Tiki treats, all paired with Tiki bar and classic Mid-Century Modern lounge music.

At the Island Lanai, you're stepping into my slice of paradise—a place to unwind, even if just for a bit. Immerse yourself in an exotic world of lush jungles, enticing flavors, and carefree vibes, where the Tiki spirit is alive and thriving. Join me and escape to this enchanting getaway!
