Tiki culture is a vibrant celebration of tropical escapism, blending art, music, cocktails, and mythology inspired by the Pacific Islands.
Popularized in mid-century America, it offered an exotic retreat from everyday life, filled with bamboo-clad bars, elaborate rum drinks, and the soothing sounds of steel guitars and ocean waves.
The release of The Book of Tiki by Sven Kirsten over three decades ago ignited renewed interest in Tiki culture's unique blend of fantasy and nostalgia.
People are drawn to its immersive experience—lush, tropical décor, carefully crafted cocktails (lots of rum), and an inviting, carefree atmosphere that transports them to an island paradise, no passport required.
