Phuket’s beach club scene has exploded over the past few years. What started as a few bars on the sand has turned into something much bigger and honestly, much better. These aren’t just places to grab a beer anymore. They’ve become proper destinations where you can spend an entire day hanging out at some of Thailand’s most Instagrammable places.
Here’s what you need to know about six beach clubs that get it right across the Island of Phuket.
Cafe del Mar is Phuket’s slice of Ibiza, located at Kamala Beach. They lean into the iconic “day to night” concept. By day, it’s the chilled poolside lounging with a Mediterranean twist on food. By night, they shifted to an all-out space with international DJs and a big crowd.
Cafe del Mar is one of the most polished beach clubs on the island, with suites and penthouses if you want to stay right where the action is. The food menu mixes local and international flavors, and the events calendar keeps the energy high past sunset. If you want the full package which is sun, swim, food, and a proper night out, Cafe del Mar covers all the bases.
Daily, 12:00 PM – Late
Catch is one of Phuket’s originals, and it still pulls a crowd for good reason. The setup on Bang Tao Beach feels not too stiff. You’ve got oversized sunbeds, a poolside cabana setup, and plenty of space to stretch a day into an evening. Breakfast is an option here, but the vibe really kicks in as the day goes on.
Sunset is the big draw. The centre is perfectly placed, and the view is one of those “stop talking for a minute and just look” moments. After dark, the music takes over. Catch is known for its DJ nights, and they don’t shy away from making it a proper party. It’s a mix of easy-going daytime lounging and full-on nightlife when the sun goes down, which is why it stays on so many must-visit lists.
Daily, 7:30 AM – 12:00 AM
Yona Beach Club
Yona is floating on the water. That’s not a metaphor, it’s literally a floating platform that you reach by boat from Royal Phuket Marina. The shuttle boats run every 20 minutes, so it’s surprisingly convenient for something that feels like such a departure from the norm.
It could have been a gimmick, but it’s not. The 360-degree water views are genuinely impressive, and the infinity pools create this surreal moment where you can’t tell where the pool ends and the ocean begins.
Yona is definitely a place to make a day of it. Swim, lounge, eat, snap a hundred photos, and stay until the sunset show paints the sky. It’s definitely built for Instagram, but it’s not just Instagram-bait. The setting and experience actually delivers on what it promises, which is more than you can say for most “world’s first” anything.
Departure Royal Phuket Marina – Shuttle Boat every 20 minutes
Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun From 2:00 PM to 9:30 PM
Tue, Sat from 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM *except during special events
Nomad Beach Club
Nomad gets the timing right. During the day, it’s low-key enough that you can actually relax. The music is in the background but not overwhelming. The staff are easy-going, and no one comes at you with the pressure. You can grab a cocktail, find a good spot in the shade, and let the hours go by without worrying.
But sunset is where it gets interesting. The energy shifts, not in an obvious way, but smoothly. The music picks up, more people show up, and by the time it’s dark, you’re in the middle of something that feels spontaneous. It’s not the kind of party that shoves you directly, it’s the one that gradually builds up, until out of the blue, you realize you’re in the middle of the upbeats.
The backstory about two families creating a “home for travelers” sounds like marketing speak, but when you’re there, it actually feels less corporate than most places. Maybe that’s intentional, maybe it’s not. Either way, it works.
Daily, 10:00 AM – 12:00 AM
Nomad Beach Fire Show: Daily, 6:45 PM
Extra Show: Friday and Saturday, 8:45 PM
Maya Beach Club
Maya Beach Club is right on Bang Tao Beach. Maya draws inspiration from ancient Mayan/Aztec themes with modern coastal style. Spend your day stretched out on the sun lounges or book a VIP king-sized bed for comfort. You can pair the breeze with Mediterranean and South American fusion dishes.
At night, Maya will be something completely different. It is a playground of music and energy. International DJs, fire shows, and performances are the elements that put the vibe up there. You also can experience their signature occasional events, Tulum Moon and Sanctuary in the exclusive VIP sofa area where the enchantment and excitement never expires.
10:00 AM – 2:00 AM / Last food order 1:00 AM
Daily Entertainment and DJ: 1:00 PM – 1:00 AM / Fire Show – 9:30 PM
Solis Beach Club
Solis has something everyone, healthy breakfast, afternoon lounging, late-night dancing. By midday, the energy changes into the classic rhythm. You can find either a quiet corner, join the crowd by the pool, or watch your favorite game with your company without feeling forced.
As the daylight winds down, Solis becomes a place to chase the famous sunset of Phuket. It is the time to head to the terrace lounge where you can sit and sip on their crafted cocktails with the relaxed background music.
And when night falls, things get really heated up. Solis becomes the ultimate nightlife destination with live DJs, light shows and a crowd who knows how to move.
Open Daily, 11:00 AM – 11 PM
Practical Stuff You Should Know
Timing: Most places open around 10 or 11 AM. Sunset is 6-7 PM depending on the season. If you care about the sunset (and you should), plan accordingly.
Reservations: Book ahead for weekends and sunset times during high season (November-March). Don’t assume you can just show up.
Getting there: Grab works fine for most places. For Yona, you need the shuttle boat from Royal Phuket Marina—it runs every 20 minutes and is included.
What to wear: Swimwear plus something you can put over it during the day. Something nicer for the evening if you’re staying late. Don’t overthink it.
