Originally named Tiki Village, the Tiki Hotel is an iconic Apartment Hotel located on the banks of the Nerang River at the end of Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise, Australia.

Built by Bernie Elsey (around 1965), who also built the Surfrider Hotel and the Surfers Paradise Beachcomber. Bernie's in-house entertainments were legendary. The pyjama parties and Hawaiian nights pushed the edges of the law, filling national papers with copy and his establishments with patrons. He also famously introduced the Surfers Paradise Meter Maids, clad in gold bikinis and armed with sixpences employed to rescue motorists from expired parking meters. They became internationally famous and still operate, nearly fifty years later.

Tiki Village was the first purpose built Timeshare Resort in Australasia and ran as such from 1982 until December 2018 when it was relaunched as a Full Service Hotel and renamed the Tiki Hotel Surfers Paradise.

Tiki Boom opened some time around or before September 2020. It replaced the previous bar, La bodega de la soif, that was in this location until October 2019.

Opened in 2010, this is a tiki-themed bar and nightclub in Gandia, Spain.

Opened January 2018.

“Tiki’s all about escapism,” says owner and general manager Christopher Straub. “We really want people to feel like, when they come in the door, this is a portal to a new world.”

Inside the dining room, there are bright blue vinyl-seated rattan bar stools and orange-tufted vinyl banquettes, hand-painted scenes by Boston artist Joanna Ciampa, tiki masks on the walls, and a wall of scallop shells—culled by Straub’s mother in Chatham—near the restrooms.

One lounge area features several Design Toscano tiki head tables (one of which is a design based on the signature tiki from the Crown Plaza/Hanalei Hotel in San Diego, California).

The kitchen serves Polynesian-inspired food like sushi, Crab Rangoon, and barbecue skewers, with classic and proprietary tiki cocktails made with fresh juices, homemade syrups and eccentric garnishes.

Live music acts play here on occasion.

This simplified 20-unit pueblo deco complex opened in 1947 and featured exposed red brick buildings and attached carports. The original art deco sign was discarded in the mid-20th century when the property was renamed the Tiki Motel. It was replaced with a sign in the shape of a Polynesian war shield and mask outlined with neon.

In the years since its heyday, the front pool was filled in with dirt and fenced off. The red brick was covered in stucco and most of the side windows covered over (many fitted with window a/c), leaving only the front and back windows for each unit. Industrial spike-out fencing lined the exterior and only a couple of palms were left.

Although the exterior paint on the buildings and the roofs had been maintained and it presented as a maintained motel, reviews warned that the low daily room prices attracted an unsavory clientele.

As of February 2021 the motel was listed for sale on loop.net for $900K.

The sign was the only thing tiki about this otherwise dated and bottom-tier motel. However, in November 2021, the Tiki Motel sign came down and was donated to Tucson Historic Preservation, thus ending this site's current interest to tikiphiles, but preserving the history.

Opened in 2013.

The venue has a raised stage at the back and is known for its live music. The large main room can have tables and chairs moved to easily accommodate a large crowd.

Each tiki flanking the main bar weighs an estimated 500 kilograms and was specially designed for the occasion by the Regensburg Tiki artist Kai Sarnes (alias Haikai). This artist friend is also responsible for their house tiki mugs.

From their Facebook page: "The original Tiki Bar in Athens established in 2007. We offer the best exotic cocktails & delicious food inspired by many different cuisines! Our djs spin uplifting music from all decades and during the winter we have a few selected live gigs!"

Tiki Rock Bar opened in January 2019.

From Tiki Hideaway: "Welcome to our exciting tiki hideaway - situated upstairs at Call Lane Social. A 1950's inspired tropical slice of Tiki goodness for urban beachcombers. It’s escapism at its best – and the ultimate destination for the cocktail lover with its tiki décor and zombie cocktails set alight for you!"

In March of 2023, Tiki Hideaway opened a second location at 71a Seel Street, Liverpool, L1 4AZ. This new location is dubbed a "lair", hidden within the existing Mean-Eyed Cat Bar, though with its own exterior and entrance.

This tiki themed bar and nightclub opened August 27th, 2015.

Owned by parent company Tokyo Industries which was established by Aaron Mellor in 1997 and operates 32 bars, clubs, and other venues in the U.K. They strive to be a forward-thinking chain of deliberately unbranded music venues, not believing in the ‘cookie cutter’ approach to generic nightclubs.

Decor supplied by Cheeky Tiki.

Closed around February 2019.

This location opened in 1959 as a tiki themed coffee shop belonging to the Spencecliff Corporation which owned many classic tiki themed unique architectural sites. Today it is Flamingo. There were at least two other Tops locations, one in Waikiki and one in Waipahu.

Tiki Tango opened in January 2019.

Tiki Tango was a 3-level tiki lounge in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. Each level had a distinct island vibe and mood (Flamingo Room, Tiger's Den, and Tango Room). Previously known as The Lava Lounge, new owner Scott McCray employed tiki interior designer and artist Frank Simotics — better known as The Tiki Rancher — to assist with the bar’s tropical transformation.

Tiki Tango announced its closure for Sunday, June 19th, 2022 due to the sale of the block for another high-rise apartment building in midtown.
