Raise a Mai Tai: These 9 Homes With Tiki Bars Are Lit!

Tiki bars may prove to be the hottest amenity this summer. With vacation plans scuttled and large gatherings at the beach frowned upon, a backyard paradise that evokes tropical vibes looks as appealing as a well-mixed mai tai.

These backyard paradises feature huts with thatched roofs and a belly-up-to-the-bar setup with stools, counter space, and an area for mixing drinks. Throw in some space for grilling, and a tempting Tiki bar may be key to surviving a summer of social distancing.

Floating on dreams of pineapple juice and ice, we set out to find homes for sale with Tiki bars. We found nine properties for sale across the country packing a tropical punch. And the amenity spans all price points, from $229,900 to $3,950,000, leaving you with cash to stock the bar with cocktail spirits, paper umbrellas, and ceramic Tiki mugs.
