10 Best Sunset Bars in Phuket
Where to Go for a Sundowner in Phuket
Phuket has plenty of impressive sunset bars and restaurants, most of which are dotted along the island's west coast. While most of these venues open all day, they're obviously busiest at dusk. You can end the day in Phuket with an excellent meal and drinks, as well as a dramatic scenery of the sun setting below the horizon.
From simple setups on the island's famous viewpoints to award-winning restaurants right on the beach, our list of the most popular sunset bars in Phuket below caters to just about any budget level. The only unbreakable condition is that you have to get there on time to grab a table with the best view.
Bars above Kata Noi
Above Kata Noi Beach
You’ll come across several adjacent hillside bars/restaurants just above Kata Noi in Phuket. These rather simple and open-air eateries are a lot more relaxing than the often crowded Kata Viewpoint. You can find wooden floors and benches lining their western, sunset-facing sides. The menus are predominantly popular Thai dishes and snacks, fresh fruit juices, as well as local and international beers.
