Cafe Del Mar Phuket Beach Club
Cafe Del Mar is not the latest Beach club in Phuket because they keep popping up faster than rooftops in Bangkok do, but having our own here in Kamala Beach is almost a statement: Phuket is a party island! Cafe Del Mar is a well-known Ibiza name that found out that Phuket was definitely the right island for a beach party with good music, great drinks and notorious parties.
Located at the northern end of Kamala Beach, just next to HQ Beach Lounge (yes they actually belong to the same company so they don’t really compete) Cafe Del Mar is surprisingly discreet during the day. Since beach clubs all learned the hard way that you can’t have your club right on the beach, Cafe Del Mar did what the new generation of beach club did: build on the very edge of the beach line, usually under the trees. It obviously doesn’t feel the same but it’s better than no beach clubs at all.
Cafe Del Mar Phuket is all wood, straw roof and orange tones… it’s a good place to chill in the afternoon but it gets quite hot under the roof as the breeze doesn’t get through. The club feels a little cramped with a pool in the back of the main building and beach beds tightly packed on the side of it. Looks like the land was a little small to accommodate the ambition of the club.
So of course the place fills up very fast and getting a sofa I’d not guaranteed. When you get one, your neighbors sit so close to you they eventually start invading your space and that can be a little annoying. The place being a drinking and party place people tend to forget manners and end up literally using you space. So get ready for promiscuity.
Music and drinks are well mixed, just as you expect them to be. The atmosphere is good but a little stiff. People coming here and staff are younger than in other clubs and have the attitude of the upper class young crowd who ‘belong’. Or maybe I’m a little too old for Cafe Del Mar. Tapas are decent without being memorable. Waitresses are nice and do their best to accommodate the demanding clientele and the lack of seats.
Music grows louder as the night grows dark and on weekends the party goes full blast, so if you want to party on the send under the moonlight, you know where to go!
