SOMMA at Cafe del Mar Phuket 2026

SOMMA makes his Club Room debut at Cafe del Mar Phuket on Friday 21 August 2026. An emerging name in melodic and afro house, SOMMA plays the kind of groove-driven, underground-leaning sound associated with labels and artists like Keinemusik, Adriatique and Black Coffee, which fits the sunset-into-night mood of the Kamala beach club. For anyone tracking where the melodic-house scene is heading, catching a rising act in an intimate setting is part of the appeal, and the west-coast beach club is a fitting stage for it.

Who is SOMMA

SOMMA is an up-and-coming DJ and producer working in the melodic and afro-house space, the sound that has come to define a lot of the current beach-club and open-air party circuit. His style draws on the same rich, percussive, emotionally driven approach that artists like Adriatique and Black Coffee and collectives like Keinemusik have made popular worldwide, built around deep grooves and slow-building energy rather than obvious drops. As a debut booking he brings that contemporary underground feel to the Club Room, and an early-career show like this is often where you catch an act before the rooms get much bigger. It is a night for people who follow the melodic end of house closely, though the warmth of the sound makes it easy to enjoy either way.

Inside Cafe del Mar Phuket

The show is in the Club Room at Cafe del Mar Phuket, the island's flagship beach club that becomes a serious dance-music venue after dark. By day the venue is loungers, pools and sunset sessions overlooking Kamala Beach, and the club also runs a day pass, so you can make a full day of it before the night set. It is a setting where the beach-club backdrop adds as much to the experience as the booking itself.

What to expect on the night

It is a strictly 20-and-over night, so bring photo ID. Doors open from around 10:00 PM with last entry at 00:30, so plan to arrive before the cut-off. VIP tables can be reserved if you want a base for a group, while general tickets get you onto the floor. Melodic and afro house rewards a patient night, so the best of the set tends to land in the later hours as the room settles in. Being a beach club, there is outdoor space to step out and reset between stretches on the floor, which helps on a long night and lets you take in the Kamala setting between the music.

Tickets and getting there

Buy tickets or book a table through the venue's official website rather than a third-party reseller. The club sits above Kamala Beach, a short taxi or ride-hail from Patong, Surin and Bang Tao. Most visitors simply take a ride-hail door to door, so there is little to plan beyond knowing your way back.

Good to know

Catching a rising act in an intimate room is part of the draw here, so it is worth arriving in good time to soak up the setting rather than turning up late. Many people start with the beach-club side, a lounger and the Kamala sunset, before the Club Room opens at 10:00 PM. Bring photo ID for the 20-and-over door, plus a card and some cash for tables and bar service. Kamala is calmer and more residential than Patong, so book a ride-hail for the way home rather than expecting to hail a taxi late on. Melodic and afro house rewards patience, so plan for a full, unhurried night.

Around the date in Phuket

SOMMA's debut follows CHAMBORD the previous Friday and leads toward the season closer with TRIKK at the end of the month, so the second half of August keeps the Club Room busy. Late August is green season in Phuket, meaning warm water, quieter beaches and better value on rooms, with brief afternoon showers that clear fast.
