This sister location to the famous London Mahiki opened in the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in December, 2011. Like the London location, it became a destination for celebrities, and wannabe celebrities. A vast cocktail menu was served, and food as well. The attractive decor was upscale tiki, and had a nightclub feel. This location closed in 2018, due to “unforeseen circumstances during the renovation” of the hotel, as stated by the owners at the time.
There have been several other Mahiki locations. In 2017, Mahiki's owners further expanded and franchised the brand. In the course of that year, Mahiki Clubs have opened in Marbella, Spain (Mahiki Beach/open), in the Forte Village Resort in Sardinia (now closed), in Manchester in collaboration with Gary Neville's company GG Hospitality Management Ltd. (closed in 2018, re-opened in 2019, but closed again in 2020) and at a second London location (Mahiki Kensington, closed in 2019). There was also a Mahiki club in Gothenburg, Sweden (closed).
