Aloha keikis! (Hello children!) Get ready to shake, create and celebrate! Lapita, Dubai Parks™ and Resorts, the UAE’s first and only Polynesian resort, is thrilled to unveil Tiki House, an immersive Polynesian cultural playground designed exclusively for children.

Newly launched in September, children aged 4-12 can brace themselves for a moku (island) adventure like no other, bringing Polynesian culture to life through a wave of exciting activities. Polynesia is famous for its history, traditional dances and colourful artwork. And now, Tiki House is bringing that tropical zest straight to your little ones!

Headed by the Lapita’s Chief on Board, kids will get to bust out their moves and groove like island pros learning the hip-shaking hula,meke(Fijian traditional dance) and the drau ni uto bota toka, (a traditional song and dance style). They’ll learn the secrets behind each step, discovering the stories and legends woven into the fabric of Polynesian dance.

But that’s not all, folks! Tiki House is a treasure trove of creativity, where kids can unleash their artistic flair. Fromtali Ibe(mat-making) and arts and crafts to flag and tiki face painting as well as movie nights, their imaginations will run wild as they create their very own Polynesian-inspired artworks.

Open daily from 1.30PM to 5.30 PM except Mondays, junior in-house guests can enjoy one-hour complimentary access to Tiki House, while additional access can be purchased at AED 50 per hour for both in-house and external guests. So, gather the keikis and dance your way to Lapita, Dubai Parks™ and Resorts for an immersive Polynesian way of life. They’ll be hooked from the first aloha!
