6 Best Nightlife Experiences in Kamala

Café del Mar Phuket is a classy beach club of the world-famous brand in Ibiza. With a high-quality setting and a great soundtrack of chill-out beats, it brings the sophisticated party atmosphere of its namesake to the northern end of Kamala Beach.

Café del Mar is right next to the modern and stylish HQ Beach Lounge. You'll find a rustic beach-hut-like look, with a thatch-roofed main bar at its heart. Shaded seating on comfortable sofas is on 1 side, while cabanas and large beds occupying a patch of sand lie on the other. An impressively large swimming pool is behind the bar. Enjoy single sun loungers and more beds and cabanas around it, as well as a poolside swim-up bar.

HQ Beach Lounge Phuket is a very chic and stylish beach club at the extreme northern end of Kamala Beach. Modest in size and scope, it's one of the few such places with direct beach access. There's even a couple of sun mats under the trees, as well as an impressive selection of drinks and classy cuisine.

You can relax on cabanas, sofas, seats, stools or the mats by the beach while soaking up the upmarket atmosphere and enjoying chillout music. HQ Beach Lounge Phuket hosts a live DJ every day from around 6pm.

Vanilla Sky Bar & Gastro Pub occupies the rooftop of Cape Sienna Phuket Hotel & Villas, a 5-star resort along Phuket’s Millionaire Mile in the southern area of Kamala Beach.

The cocktail lounge has 4 sections – an indoor cozy lounge, an outdoor terrace overlooking Kamala Bay, a snooker room and, at the top floor, a large room designed for private parties. Vanilla Sky's menu includes an impressive list of cocktails mixed by experienced bartenders and delicious tapas to accompany them.

Aussie Pub is a large 2-storey nightlife venue along the Kamala main road. It's very lively and popular for several good reasons – 6 TVs airing live major sports events, a pool table at the 2nd floor, an extensive selection of international dishes and pub grub, and charming waitresses who are very friendly yet unobtrusive.

With its casual and friendly atmosphere, Aussie Pub is the right place to spend an agreeable evening in Kamala. Do not miss the free sausage sizzle, which usually takes place on Fridays from 6.30pm onwards.

Diavolo at Paresa Resort is located at the southern end of Phuket’s Millionaire Mile. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace perched on a cliff with the Andaman Sea some 50 meters below. Its décor blends contemporary straight lines with natural materials, giving a timeless feeling.

Diavolo is also a popular sundowner spot in Kamala. The signature cocktails and wine labels available make this place a top-of-the-range venue for a romantic evening.

HYPE Luxury Boat Club takes you from the beach and out onto the water on a half-day party cruise along the coastline. While its resident DJs spin a host of modern classics and latest hits, you'll be able to sit back on your very own bean bag, bed or lounge chair while enjoying the peaceful cruise on the Andaman Sea.

A trampoline onboard offers even more enjoyment for party lovers, as does the complimentary welcome cocktail and finger food buffet.
