About Café del Mar Phuket

The Phuket branch of the Ibiza-born Café del Mar, set behind the trees at the quiet north end of Kamala Beach. The front-row loungers look over the sand to the sea, a pool lies behind the main bar with beds along it, and the sound is the brand's own Ibiza mix, louder as the night goes on. The kitchen serves tapas, salads, pasta, wood-fired pizzas and sushi. Sunset is the busy hour, and Saturday nights fill the place: it is one of the island's party clubs, with international DJs.
