Where Will Your Wanderlust Take You?
Let Your Adventure Begin
Where will your wanderlust take you?
Tiki Wanderlust is for tiki aficionados, searching for great bars near home – or planning a getaway with unforgettable stops along the way.
So put on your aloha shirt, mix up a Mai Tai, and find your next adventure.
Aloha Fellow Wayfarers!
Tiki Wanderlust was created to help fellow Tiki enthusiasts discover fun, immersive destinations wherever their travels may lead.
As a travel agent and lifelong trip planner, I’ve always loved researching routes, stops, and hidden gems – especially when they include great Tiki bars, vintage motels, and places that keep the spirit of escape alive.
Like many of you, I’ve spent plenty of time searching multiple sites and scattered listings to piece together the perfect itinerary. Tiki Wanderlust exists to bring all of that information together in one reliable, easy-to-use resource.
Here you’ll find curated listings for Tiki bars, tropical lounges, mid-century and vintage hotels, and other Tiki-adjacent stops – designed to help you plan trips that are as relaxing as they are memorable.
If you notice a location that’s closed, outdated, or missing, I’d love to hear from you at [email protected]. Your input helps keep this project accurate and useful for everyone.
