The Castaways restaurant, which was part of the Castaways Inns & Suites, opened in 1971. It retained its original tiki decor until it closed in early 2013. A large tiki pole from the Castaways could be seen at Liki Tiki in nearby Colorado Springs until its close in 2019.

Opened in 2004. Kon-Tiki was a Polynesian restaurant in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Salwa, a sort of suburb of Kuwait City. It is right on the Persian Gulf. Alcohol is illegal in Kuwait, and so this was a restaurant only. The design of the restaurant was very unusual, in that it actually sat directly beneath an authentic Kuwaiti dhow, the Al Boom, which is in permanent dry-dock; the hull of the ship formed a dramatic curved wall and partial ceiling for the restaurant. It did appear to have some tikis.

Closed in 2008. Replaced by Rangoli Indian Restaurant. As of 2019, The Kimchi Korea Grill occupies this location.

The Polynesian Room was in the Yankee Clipper hotel, which opened in 1956. The hotel still stands, but has been re-named the B Ocean Resort and the Polynesian Room closed sometime in the mid-'70s. The Polynesian Room had seating for 300, and a full Polynesian floor show. The architect for the Yankee Clipper also designed the nearby Mai-Kai. The hotel still has a nautical-themed bar, the Wreck Bar, that dates from the same time as the Polynesian Room. The Wreck Bar has a window that looks into the hotel's swimming pool, and originally the hotel had "mermaids" swimming there to entertain guests of the bar. The mermaid shows were discontinued in 1965 but returned in 2006, when Marina and the Aquaticats brought back the shows as an homage to the past.

This Don the Beachcomber opened at the former Trade Winds around 1976 or so. It operated for a few years and closed in the late '70s. In later years, this location briefly became Coconut Joe's Warehouse and Hawaiian Cowboy, and the building was demolished in 1984.

Thatch opened in northeast Portland in January 2007.

It featured a sunken bar, booths rescued from a nearby original Armet & Davis Denny's, lots of bamboo, and of course, thatch. Some of the tiki decor came from the nearby Jasmine Tree, which in turn got its decor from the Portland Kon-Tiki when it closed.

Thatch closed in late spring 2012, and reopened in late August 2012 under new ownership as Hale Pele.

Polynesian was on the Redondo Beach Pier and opened in 1969.

It was open throughout the 70s and into the 80s.

Much of the Pier burned down in 1988.

By then Polynesian had become the Edge Restaurant, which was destroyed in the fire, but it is unclear when the Polynesian closed and the Edge opened (probably some time between 1983 and 1988 since the Polynesian is said to have acquired a Barney West tiki from Helen Yue in 1983 that was previously at her restaurant, the Lahani Haloha).

Pago Pago was named for and inspired by the capital city of Pago Pago on the South Pacific Ocean island of American Samoa.

It should have been pronounced "pango pango" but locals called it "paygo paygo".

The restaurant featured decor from Oceanic Arts and from Eli Hedley.

Pago Pago opened on May 5th, 1949. The name was later changed to Aku Aku in the early 60s and stayed that way until 1964-65 when a fire broke out and caused much damage. When they reopened after repairs, the name was changed to Ports O' Call and then it became a restaurant called Bali Hai Indonesian & Cantonese Cuisine sometime prior to 1980.

Exterior scenes for the 1956 film "A Kiss Before Dying" were filmed at the Pago Pago (and interior bar scenes were most likely on a studio set elsewhere). However, the lower budget "Crime Against Joe" (1956) was shot entirely on location interior and exterior at the Pago Pago (see below).

The site now houses Starbuck Design, a promotional products company.

The Kon-Tiki Theatre opened in August 1968, the first movie that showed there was "The Odd Couple" starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. The structure was a mix of Asian and Polynesian influences; there were illuminated tiki masks on the outside of the building, lava rock and abalone on the exterior, and giant clamshell sinks in the restrooms. It was owned by the Levin Theater Company chain. It had one screen when it opened, and two more screens were added over the years, at which point it was re-named Kon-Tiki Cinemas 1-2-3.

In 1987, the theater was leased to another company, who renamed it the Salem Avenue Cinemas.

Last operated by Loews, it was closed on January 31, 1999 and sat vacant until January 4, 2005.

Over time, there was extensive damage to the building, due to vandals breaking in, and some busted water pipes that left a nasty mold problem. In the end, the Levins (who still owned the property) donated the Kon-Tiki to the city of Trotwood. The city demolished the building on January 5, 2005, to allow the space to be redeveloped.

When the Mai Kai Theater opened April 10th, 1962 and it was a grand place -- it cost the Nicolas George Theaters chain $1.5 million to build, with seating for nearly 1,400 people to watch on one great, big screen. The theater was decorated in a Polynesian style, with an animated "erupting" volcano sign out front, and another volcano behind the concession stand. It had an orchestra pit, though the Mai Kai Orchestra only played there on opening night -- "Son of Flubber" was the first movie, and stars Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello were there.

AMC Theatres bought out Nicolas George Theaters in 1986, and the Mai Kai was closed a year later, in May 1987. In 1988, after half a million dollars was spent remodeling the Mai Kai into a live performance venue, it reopened as the Omni Star. It only lasted a couple of months, before it was shut down thanks to the "illegal activities" of the new owner. Again the building sputtered to life briefly as the "George Burns Theater" (the namesake George Burns himself was there at the opening) in 1992, but it only lasted a couple of years. The theater stood for another ten years, being used as overflow by the neighboring Ford dealership, before being demolished in 2003. The site is now home to a Walgreens.

The Tahitian Terrace was a restaurant in Disneyland's Adventureland. It began as part of Main Street's Plaza Pavilion, as the Pavilion Lanai, before becoming the Tahitian Terrace in the summer of 1962. The Tahitian Terrace had a daily dinner revue, complete with dancers. Clips from a performance at the Tahitian Terrace can be seen on the Walt Disney Treasures Disneyland DVD, in the special Disneyland After Dark. The Tahitian Terrace was adjacent to the Enchanted Tiki Room, which opened soon afterward.

A memorable part of the Tahitian Terrace was the 35' tall "Dineyodendron" Tree with its fiery-colored blossoms which shaded the stage and much of the audience and was the second largest in the park next to that at the Swiss Family Treehouse.

The terrace was originally sponsored by Stouffers, and later by Kikkoman's (1980-closing).

In 1993, the Tahitian Terrace closed, and in its place was erected an architecturally-incongruous Aladdin-themed building (initially for a dinner show, later used for storytelling or character meeting and called "Aladdin's Oasis"). In December 2018, Aladdin's Oasis was replaced by a new Polynesian themed food counter, named Tropical Hideaway.

Hong Kong Disneyland has a Tahitian Terrace. While it does have tikis, it is not as elaborate as the original.

Graceland is the mansion of Elvis Presley, and today it serves as a museum, with daily tours. Graceland is notable as a tiki destination for one reason: the legendary Jungle Room. This was Elvis' den, and it was decorated entirely with chunky Witco furniture, made of singed Cypress. Included is a small bar with stools, decorated with tikis. The room is also notable for its lime-green shag carpet, not only on the floor, but also on the ceiling.

Legend has it that Elvis found the furniture in a showroom in Memphis, and bought the entire set; coincidentally, that same day, his father Vernon had seen the set in the same store, and mentioned to Elvis how ugly it had been, without knowing that Elvis had bought the whole shebang.

The Jungle Room was the site of Elvis' final two studio recording sessions in 1976, when he set up a makeshift studio in the room. Tracks from the sessions have appeared on several posthumous releases.

Tiki's Bar & Grill opened in summer 2006 in Rotterdam, in the South Holland province of the Netherlands. Tiki's is located just off of Witte de Withstraat, in the heart of Rotterdam. The space is lined with bamboo, tapa designs, rockwork, and tropical scenes, and thatch covers the bar area. There is a hula girl mosaic in the ladies' room. The music is an eclectic mix of oldies, Rockabilly, and '70s punk. The food is created by a cook from Malaysia, and tropical drinks are served.
