1. A Romantic Dinner at a Scenic View Restaurant
A romantic dinner is a classic choice. But what if you made it anything but ordinary? Consider not just restaurants, but wow-level dining experiences.
Dinner in the Sky
Geo on Google Maps (Karon)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 10:00 - 22:00
Website | Menu
Booking: WhatsApp, Telegram
Dinner in the Sky Phuket is a restaurant that literally takes romance to a whole new level.
A platform with a table and seats is lifted about 50 meters above the ground. Before you unfolds a 360-degree panorama: the island’s lush greenery, the Andaman Sea, the lights of Phuket — and, if you choose the right time, one of the most beautiful sunsets of your life. During dinner, the platform slowly rotates several times so that every guest can admire the island from different angles.
The culinary experience does not fall short: dishes are served in a thoughtfully curated sequence, cocktails enhance the atmosphere, and the music sets the perfect rhythm for the evening. It’s the kind of dinner that’s hard to replicate — and that’s exactly why it becomes a memory you’ll cherish for years.
Tip: It’s worth booking a table for February 14th in advance — there are always more people eager to experience this feeling of flight than there are seats.

Malika Sky Bar

Working hours: Mon - Sun: 17:30 - 23:00
Website | Menu | Book a table
A rooftop bar with panoramic sea views. The seats at the edge of the terrace offer the most stunning views of the horizon and the water!
Unlike many other venues of this kind, Malika Sky Bar isn’t just a “for the view” restaurant — the food here is also delicious.
The menu is a blend of international cuisine and creative interpretations of classic dishes. To start, you might choose light appetizers like tuna ceviche, while main courses include duck confit, Black Angus beef ribs, or pasta. The centerpiece of the table could be the barbecue tower with lobster and tiger prawns — an unforgettable experience is guaranteed. For each dish, the bar offers cocktails crafted by a mixologist specifically for Malika Sky Bar.
Service is another strong point of the venue: the staff are attentive, professional, and at the same time unobtrusive.
Practical details also matter for a romantic evening: booking via WhatsApp with a 50% prepayment ensures the best table and peace of mind, which is especially important during peak hours.
Baba Nest

Working hours: Mon - Sun: 17:00 - 20:00
Website | Menu
If you imagine the perfect Valentine’s Day scenario in Phuket, Baba Nest fits right in without any adjustments. This scenic cafe is located on the rooftop of the Sri Panwa Phuket hotel (and, by the way, you can stay there overnight afterward if you wish).
It’s important to understand: Baba Nest is primarily about the atmosphere and the views. The food and drinks are secondary — not bad, but the true value of the evening lies not in the cuisine, but in the experience itself.
From the rooftop, there’s an almost 360-degree panorama: the Andaman Sea, islands on the horizon, and the sky, which turns into a living postcard at sunset.
This spot is popular with couples and small groups, so reservations are a must, especially on special occasions. A deposit of around 1,000 baht per person is usually required (on certain days it may be higher — it’s best to check in advance).
A small tip for photography lovers: the tables on the right side are considered the best for views and photos.
2. A Date in the Jungle
Phuket isn’t just about the sea and beaches — it also has dense jungle foliage. If you want to escape from it all and truly experience the tropical atmosphere, the venues listed below are perfect.
Three Monkeys Restaurant
Geo on Google Maps (Phuket Town)
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 10:00 - 01:00
Website | Menu | Book a table
One of the most photogenic restaurants on the island. The restaurant is located within the Hanuman World rope park and is literally immersed in greenery. Its multi-level wooden structure with terraces and bridges makes Three Monkeys one of the most photogenic spots in Phuket.
Here, you really feel close to nature: the interior uses only natural materials — wood, leaves, straw. The menu focuses on fresh local ingredients, and the chefs bring out their flavors with exceptional skill.
Undoubtedly, the main highlight is the atmosphere: a true island vibe, picture-perfect views, and an ideal spot for a special occasion. Be sure to book in advance — the restaurant is extremely popular.
Black Ginger

Working hours: Mon - Sun: 10:00 - 01:00
Website | Instagram
An avant-garde restaurant set in an elegant Thai mansion on a tiny island surrounded by jungle. The interior blends the aesthetics of the Ayutthaya era with modern design, turning every dinner into a full cultural and culinary experience.
Chef Anongrat Meklai (better known as Chef Piak) preserves classic Thai techniques while presenting dishes with a modern twist. Highlights include crispy tempura prawns with cha-plu leaves, crab or pork spring rolls, and signature desserts.
Black Ginger is for those who want more than just a meal — it’s a place to experience the philosophy of Thai cuisine in every element of the dinner.
Don’t forget the dress code — smart casual attire is required to ensure the evening is stylish from start to finish.
The Tree House in Anantara

Working hours:
Website | Book a table
This Japanese restaurant is literally “built into” a tree: a spiral staircase winds around the trunk to reach it, and from above you get panoramic views of the lagoons, gardens, and the resort’s tropical greenery.
The restaurant follows an omakase format: the chef takes full control of the menu, serving dishes in a perfect sequence — from delicate flavors to richer ones. Each course is accompanied by a brief explanation of the ingredients and pairings.
The menu offers two sets — 8 or 12 courses — and rare sake and cocktails perfectly complement the atmosphere. Seating is limited, making the dinner feel like a private gastronomic performance. It’s ideal for couples who appreciate aesthetics and attention to detail.
Other venues in Phuket that are also great for a romantic dinner are included in our “Romantic” selection — the choices are extensive.
3. Budget-Friendly and Romantic: A Beach Picnic
Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all. Just the two of you, the sunset, and the sea. Phuket makes this possible — you just need to choose the right beach and bring everything needed for the perfect picnic. Pick a convenient spot from our Beaches section. For example:
Nai Harn
Geo on Google Maps (Nai Harn)
A wide beach with soft sand and a calm crowd. You can have a picnic right on a towel or blanket, with wine and snacks. The atmosphere is peaceful: the sunset paints the sea in golden and pink hues, and all you can hear is the sound of the waves.
Laem Sing
Geo on Google Maps (Kamala)
One of the most romantic beaches on the island. The path down isn’t the easiest, but it’s worth the effort: a tiny beach nestled among the rocks, turquoise waters, and the feeling that you’re in a movie. It’s especially beautiful in the evening: add some candles, snacks, and a thermos of coffee or hot chocolate — and the perfect little party is ready.
Mai Khao
Geo on Google Maps (Mai Khao)
A spot for those who love space and silence. The beach is long and almost empty, while planes coming in to land add an unusual “in motion” effect. Dinner at sunset here turns into a little adventure, as if you’re at the edge of the world. How to get to the spot where planes fly low over the ground is explained in our mini-guide “Plane Spotting Beach” in Phuket: how to get there and take the best photos.
What to bring:
- A light blanket or foldable mat
- A basket with snacks: cheese, fruit, nuts, mini sandwiches
- Wine or non-alcoholic drinks
- Small candles or a battery-powered string light for romantic lighting
- A thermos with hot chocolate or coffee for the evening
- A camera or phone for sunset shots
As an option, you can have a picnic not on the beach, but at a viewpoint. The full list of Phuket’s top viewpoints is available on the Viewpoints page.
4. A day of love in a spa & slow life format
A couples’ spa program is a great option for a romantic date that’s also good for your health. Many salons in Phuket offer couple spa experiences: massages, flower baths, herbal saunas, tea ceremonies, and other rituals designed for two.
Banyan Tree Spa Phuket

One of the most famous spa centers on the island is part of the Banyan Tree complex in Bang Tao. It offers exclusive treatments for couples, including traditional Thai and international methods in a luxurious setting.

SAMA Onsen & Massage

Working hours: Mon - Sun: 10:00 - 21:30
Website
Spa + Japanese onsen — what could be better for complete relaxation? Spacious, with options for couples’ treatments side by side or in private rooms. The spa offers a variety of comprehensive programs: from massages and aromatherapy to soaking in hot pools — perfect for two. Top-notch service is a given at a place like this.
You can find even more places like this, ranked by rating, in the Massage & Spa section.
5. A private plane flight
If you’ve already done the classic scenarios, here’s some real creativity. A private plane flight over Phuket is a rare experience that fits perfectly into Valentine’s Day. And if you arrange it as a surprise, you’ll be a true magician for your partner!
The process is simple: you arrive at the airfield, go through a brief briefing — and within minutes, you’re in the sky, seeing all of Phuket and the nearby islands from a bird’s-eye view. It’s a feeling of intimacy and shared moments, as if the entire island belongs just to the two of you.
You can choose different flight durations and routes, but the most popular option for a date is a one-hour flight to the Phi Phi Islands.

6. Yacht trip
A cruise on a luxurious yacht in the Andaman Sea: turquoise waters all around, you dressed in white, the wind playing in your hair, a glass of champagne in hand… Can you picture it? Romance level 100!
Bringing this idea to life in Phuket is actually not difficult – all you need is money, choose a vessel (you can even go for an authentic long-tail boat if your budget is limited), and book using the buttons below.
What is usually included in a boat/yacht rental
- Boat/Yacht
- Professional captain and crew
- Life jackets and basic insurance
What is not always included
- Food (lunch, snacks, champagne – for an additional fee)
- Transfer to the pier/marina (often can be arranged separately)
- National park and bay fees (if the route includes Phang Nga, etc.)
If your budget is limited, you can try negotiating directly with the boat captain on site (for example, at Rawai or Chalong piers). Sometimes local captains agree to private sunset trips for a more reasonable price.
7. Underwater date: diving
An option for those who truly love adventure. Diving in Phuket is less about sport and more about a shared adventure and the emotions you experience together (which is great for bonding).
The underwater world of the Andaman Sea is stunning: coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, unusual formations, and soft light filtering through the water. Sometimes dive sites feature art objects on the seabed, creating impressive and truly rare photo opportunities.
For a romantic dive, locations with good visibility and a diverse underwater world are ideal:
- Racha Yai and Racha Noi islands – clear water, coral reefs, and a sense of seclusion;
- Phi Phi – picturesque reefs and striking underwater landscapes;
- Anemone Reef and the sunken King Cruiser ship – for those who want to add a wow factor to their date;
- Shark Point – underwater cliffs and abundant marine life;
- Cheow Lan Lake – a unique freshwater diving experience among cliffs and jungle.
We’ve selected the top 3 diving companies. Fill out the form, and we’ll forward your request — they’ll contact you to provide details on the terms and pricing.
8. A day at a floating beach club
Yona Beach Club
Geo on Google Maps (Patong)
Working hours: Mon 15:00 - 23:00; Tue - Wed: 09:30 - 21:30; Thu 15:00 - 23:00; Fri - Sun: 09:30 - 21:30
Booking: ,
Essentially, Yona is a huge three-deck vessel of about 1,200 sq. m, where beach relaxation, gastronomy, and evening vibes merge into a single space. And this “ship” sails all day in the open sea – creating a private-party atmosphere.
On the lower deck, there’s a stylish beach club with a 22-meter infinity pool. This is perfect for the first half of the day: swimming, sunbathing, and sipping cocktails. The second deck is a spacious terrace for sunset viewing – one of the most romantic spots! The third level is the rooftop with cozy gazebos and panoramic views.
During the day, Yona exudes a relaxed chill vibe with DJ sets, and closer to evening, the atmosphere changes: house and classic dance music fill the air, energizing the space while keeping it stylish and comfortable.
The gastronomy deserves special attention. Yona’s restaurant is led by a French chef, and the menu combines Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines, with vegetarian and vegan options available. The bar offers premium wines and signature cocktails.
You can book a visit to Yona Beach Club by contacting the details below.
You can also visit classic beach clubs – the full list can be found in the Beach Clubs selection.
9. A day at a hotel with a day pass
If you want to spend Valentine’s Day in a luxury hotel but don’t want to pay for a room, the perfect option is a day pass. You get access to the hotel grounds, pool, beach, restaurants, and spa, as if you were staying there overnight – but without the overnight cost. And you pay much less.
We’ve put together a list of hotels in Phuket offering day passes, including prices and perks. Some are truly luxurious options – for example, Sri Panwa 5*. Choose your style and treat yourself to a fabulous date at the island’s best hotels.
10. For those who just want to party
Happiness may love silence, but you don’t have to follow that rule on Valentine’s Day: you can go out and party together! And what if you’re officially “single”? Even better! Phuket has lively nightclubs, trendy bars, and fun karaoke spots – pick one if February 14 is just a good excuse for a night out. And if you’re looking for a partner, these places are the easiest to meet new people.
Even more options for events (dinners, parties, and other Valentine’s Day activities) can be found in our Event Schedule.
This article doesn’t offer a single “right” way to spend Valentine’s Day. You can dress up, go barefoot, celebrate loudly, or not celebrate at all. Choose the style that suits you!
And if you’re planning something bigger and want to propose to your partner on Valentine’s Day, get inspired by the ideas in our mini-guides Marry Me? or How to Propose in Phuket.
