Cafe del Mar Phuket

What is Cafe del Mar Phuket like?

Daybeds by the pool and the sand, two outdoor stages and an indoor club, and a soundtrack that builds as the sun goes down. DJ Mag ranks this Kamala beach club #37 in its Top 100 Clubs for 2026, with room for 600 to 3,000.

The day is sunbeds and lunch, the evening is the sunset and a fire show from Friday to Sunday, and the Club Room keeps it going late, Wednesday to Saturday.

See our Phuket holidays for the rest of the week, or ask Tanner where it fits your trip.

Big dates this season

The past year's line-ups included Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Bonobo, Fatboy Slim and Dixon, DJ Mag says.

Dates are from the club's own events page (checked 29 October 2026). Big nights are ticketed apart from the beds, and the best tables go first.

Ask Tanner to hold your table for BLOND:ISH.

What are the hours and set spend?

Café del Mar Phuket prices for beds and cabanas aren't published, EVE Phuket says. The daytime credit depends on the package you book, and it all goes on food and drink, the club's FAQ says.

Ask Tanner for the figure on your date.

The menu

The Cafe del Mar Phuket menu runs from noon to a 10:30pm last food order, the club's own page says, so lunch, sunset cocktails and dinner can all happen on the same bed.

For a group, the daytime credit goes fast once the champagne comes out. Ask Tanner to set the bottles before you arrive.

Walk in or book?

Cafe del Mar Phuket booking is done on the club's own site: sunbeds and beach sofas can be booked ahead, and tables should be, especially for the sunset and the fire show, its FAQ says.

Sunset and the fire show are when the front row goes. Tanner's pick for twelve: one cabana or a row of beds, booked for 4pm. Ask Tanner to book it in the group's name.

Is it worth it?

For the sunset, yes. It's a DJ Mag Top 100 club, and the sunset, the food and the music are why.

Midweek evenings are calmer. For the full party, go on a Club Room night, Wednesday to Saturday, or Friday to Sunday for the fire show. December to March is Phuket's core dry season, the Thai Meteorological Department's normals show. Ask Tanner which night suits your dates.

Closed on some dates?

The club opens daily. On the five Buddhist holy days, ordinary bars and shops stop selling alcohol, but licensed entertainment venues and hotels are exempt, so Tanner checks those dates first.

The club says seasonal hours can change. Ask Tanner to confirm before you go.

What to wear and what to bring

The club doesn't publish a dress code. Swimwear and a cover-up work by day, and smart casual fits in after sunset.

After 10pm the club admits guests aged 20 and over, and outside food and drink aren't allowed, Café del Mar's FAQ says (checked October 2026). Bring ID.

Insider tip: book the bed for 4pm. You get the pool in daylight and the front row for the sunset.

Ask Tanner to hold the beds before you fly.

With a group

The classic Phuket day: a yacht in the morning, sunset beds at Café del Mar, then Patong for the late clubs.

A cabana holds everyone in one place, and the van outside takes the group on to dinner or back to the villa.

See our Phuket yachts, Phuket pool villas and private drivers.

Plan it with Tanner.

From Patong, and back

Kamala is the next bay north of Patong, so Café del Mar Phuket is an easy first stop before the late clubs on Bangla Road.

The best plan is the sunset at Kamala, dinner, then Patong after 11. See the best clubs in Phuket.

Ask Tanner for a van that waits all evening.

Where is Cafe del Mar Phuket?

The northern end of Kamala Beach, on Phuket's west coast, DJ Mag says.

Flying in? See Bangkok to Phuket.

After midnight, a car booked ahead beats hunting for a taxi. Ask Tanner to have it outside at closing.
