About Carpe Diem Beach Club

A carefully designed beach club at the far south end of Bang Tao Beach, where the sea is more a mooring for longtail boats than a swimming beach, and the boats make the view. A manicured garden leads to tables by the sea between tall coconut palms and a pool deck with beds and cabanas; the lighting is soft after dark. The menu is Mediterranean and Italian, strong on seafood. Beds are booked in advance for two to eight people, the price including food and drink credit; nobody under 15 is admitted. Sunset is its best hour.
