What to Expect from Beach Clubs in Phuket?
Insider's Response
Beach clubs offer luxury-style relaxation straight out of a postcard — stunning sea views, sunsets, stylish settings, gourmet cuisine, and signature cocktails.
There are two main formats for enjoying beach clubs: daytime — sunbathing, chill music, and laid-back lunches; evening: dancing on the sand, live shows, and parties that last until morning.
Most beach clubs are located right by the sea and often have their own beach areas. When reserving a spot during the day, you can choose from a range of seating options — let’s call them budget-friendly to high-end: poolside sun loungers, tables for lunch or cocktails, private VIP cabanas or soft daybeds for ultimate comfort.
What to Know Before Visiting a Beach Club:
- Advance reservations. If you’re planning to relax and sunbathe during the day, it’s best to book in advance — spots can fill up quickly. In the evenings, beach clubs often host DJs and live performances, and tickets are usually sold ahead of time. Keep an eye on announcements — we regularly post them in our Phuket Event Schedule.
- Prices. Many beach clubs operate with a minimum spend (deposit). You reserve a table and then order food and drinks for the required amount. Even regular poolside loungers typically come with a fee.
- Dress code. Even though they’re called beach clubs, most enforce a dress code in the evenings. Leave your swimsuits for the daytime — night is the perfect time to show off a stylish outfit, or at least go smart casual.
Beach clubs always have a festive vibe, so if you’re in the mood to party during the day — you know where to go. Phuket often hosts world-famous performers, many of whom play sets in beach clubs. Expect the ultimate vibe: top-tier music, dancing, fire shows, and a stylish crowd.
