Top 8 Romantic Restaurants in Phuket

Phuket offers everything you need to create a romantic atmosphere: the sea, sunsets, and lush jungles… If you’re planning a romantic date, it couldn’t be easier. The island is full of venues — each more romantic than the last. We’ve put together our top 8 places for the perfect date in Phuket.

1.L’Arôme by the sea

Undoubtedly, one of the most romantic restaurants on the island. It features an elegant interior and panoramic windows that offer breathtaking views of Kalim Beach and the endless sea horizon.

L’Arôme by the sea is also a fine dining restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide. It’s not just the refined ambiance that stands out, but also the unique and inventive cuisine. The restaurant’s concept blends sophisticated culinary techniques with a deep respect for nature. The focus is on using the highest quality ingredients. Here, the finest flavors of Asia and Europe come together: Japanese wagyu and sea urchins, French oysters, and Thai vanilla ice cream.

You can try the chef’s tasting menu or relax on the terrace and order à la carte. Either way, an unforgettable and deeply romantic evening at L’Arôme by the sea is guaranteed!

2.Dinner in the Sky Phuket

This is a date he or she will definitely never forget! If you want to impress your special someone and promise them cloud nine (and actually mean it!) — welcome to Dinner in the Sky. At this unique restaurant, you’ll dine literally in the air. Guests are lifted on a special platform 50 meters above the ground. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset!

The dinner is accompanied by gourmet dishes, cocktails, and music. You can choose from light snacks and drinks or a full-course meal. Any experience can be booked with a 10% discount through Phuket Insider. You can do this via WhatsApp or Telegram.

3.Malika Sky Bar

Another perfect spot for a romantic date. This rooftop restaurant offers mesmerizing views of the sea and the island, and if you manage to grab a table right by the edge — it’s pure magic.

The food and drinks at Malika Sky Bar are just as stunning as the views, and the mixologist crafts true cocktail masterpieces. The romantic atmosphere is enhanced by carefully curated music. Celebrating an anniversary or birthday? You’ll be treated to a special gift from the restaurant. Nice touch, right? Absolutely!

4.The Sundeck

An atmospheric bar-restaurant perched on a hillside, offering breathtaking views — especially at sunset. The staff is used to guests snapping photos against the stunning backdrop and will happily take a picture of you and your date.

The menu at The Sundeck features both European and Thai cuisine — everything is refined and delicious, including the cocktails. It’s best to book a table in advance (you can do it online), as this spot is very popular among romantics.

5.PRU

The first and only Michelin-starred restaurant in Phuket. This is the place where you can (and should) show off your best outfits — flip-flops and shorts won’t get you through the door, even if your pockets are stuffed with baht. PRU has a certain image and high standards for its guests, but truth be told, you’ll want to dress up for a place like this.

You can eat your fill at any Phuket night market, but PRU is where you go for a true culinary experience. In the open kitchen, chefs craft masterpieces from seemingly incompatible ingredients. The dishes are unique, unexpected, and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression — exactly what kind of impression is up to each guest. One thing’s for sure: you and your partner will have plenty to talk about after dinner.

6.The Kata Rocks Clubhouse

A super Instagrammable spot! The views here will sweep any girl off her feet, setting the perfect tone for your date. You can grab a seat right by the pool and enjoy the sound of water and the reflection of sunset colors dancing on the surface.

The Kata Rocks Clubhouse features live music, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff. Yes, some might say it’s a bit mainstream — but that’s only natural with views this stunning. We recommend booking a table in advance.

7.Boathouse Restaurant

A seaside restaurant where you can dine right by the water. If the weather isn’t ideal, opt for a table indoors or by the pool at the bar. No matter where you sit — the setting is beautiful everywhere.

The menu at Boathouse Restaurant offers a blend of Southern Thai and Western cuisine. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and organic options available. And a special mention goes to the outstanding wine list, which has received prestigious accolades from Wine Spectator.

8.Phuket Romantic Dining

The name of this restaurant speaks for itself — you won’t find a more romantic place! If you’ve ever seen those dreamy proposal scenes in dramas, this is exactly that kind of setting. A table by the water, twinkling lights, champagne, the sound of the sea… and just the two of you. Privacy is a top priority here — no one will interrupt your moment.

This unique restaurant is part of the Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa, located on Nakalay Beach — one of the last private beaches in Phuket untouched by the island’s growing commercialization.

There are several menu options to choose from, depending on your taste (and budget): from light bites to premium wagyu steaks.

Phuket is full of romantic spots — and they don’t have to be expensive or fancy. After all, what could be better than a beach sunset? Make your own unforgettable memories, and let Insider help you discover the island’s top locations! You’ll find them waiting for you in the Instagrammable and Panoramic selections under the Cafes & Restaurants section.
