Cafe Del Mar Phuket

Overview of Cafe Del Mar Phuket

Cafe Del Mar Phuket brings the world famous Ibiza beach club brand to the northern end of Kamala Beach on Phuket's west coast. It is a polished, design led venue built around a large pool, a thatch roofed central bar and a spread of sunbeds, daybeds and cabanas that run from the pool deck down toward the sand. The mood is relaxed and stylish by day and steadily more energetic after sunset, when the signature Cafe Del Mar sound gets louder and the crowd builds. It has become one of Kamala's landmark spots for both visitors and Phuket locals who want a full day by the water with food, drinks and music in one place.

The club sits right beside the InterContinental Phuket Resort and Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach, giving it a quieter, more upscale stretch of coast than the busier southern beaches. Open air by design, it makes the most of the sea view and the long west coast sunset that Kamala is known for, and the layout flows from the raised pool deck down to sofas on the sand so you can pick your own pace for the day.

Day Beds and Tables

Cafe Del Mar Phuket sells day-use seating where you reserve a spot for a set amount, most of which comes back to you as a food and beverage credit to spend on the menu. Based on the venue's own live booking system, a Beach Bed and Sofa, seating up to 8 guests, is THB 10,000 and includes a THB 6,000 food and beverage credit, while an Oasis Pool Bed and Sofa, also up to 8 guests, is THB 12,000 and includes a THB 8,000 credit. Both come with towels and pool access, with the pool open to guests aged 18 and above until 8pm. If you would rather just dine, a Restaurant table carries a THB 1,000 food and beverage credit per person. In the evenings the indoor Club Room offers VIP tables from around THB 15,000 up to THB 30,000, each redeemable in full as a food and beverage credit, seating up to four to six guests, and reserved for guests aged 20 and above on Wednesday to Saturday nights.

These are the rates shown for a standard day and they can change on special event days and with the season, so confirm the current price, credit and any minimum spend on the official booking page or by phone when you reserve. The day use areas include the Oasis Pool with sunbeds and cabanas along the water's edge, the Beach area with sofas on the sand under the palms, and the elevated Horizon Lounge with sea views and its own bar. Front row beach and pool beds are the first to go on peak season weekends, so book ahead.

Food, Drinks and Atmosphere

The kitchen matches the setting, with a menu that spans tapas, salads, pasta, sushi and wood fired pizzas that range from a classic Marinara to richer signature toppings. There is a strong cocktail list alongside wines, craft beers and the poolside drinks you would expect from a beach club of this style. Food and drink are the heart of the experience here, which fits naturally with the credit based booking model.

Music is central to the Cafe Del Mar identity. Resident and guest DJs play through the afternoon and into the night, and the venue hosts sunset sessions, themed parties and live events across the week, with fire shows on selected evenings from Friday to Sunday. The rhythm of a visit tends to flow from a laid back lunch and pool afternoon into a livelier golden hour and a club style night, so it works whether you want a chilled day in the sun or a bigger night out.

Location and Getting There

Cafe Del Mar Phuket is at 118/19 Moo 3, Kamala, in the Kathu District of Phuket, at the northern end of Kamala Beach. It is an easy trip from the neighbouring resort areas, sitting just north of Kamala village and a short drive over the headland from Surin Beach and the Bang Tao and Laguna area. Patong, Phuket's main nightlife hub, is roughly a fifteen to twenty minute drive south over the hill, which makes the club a calmer alternative that is still close to the action.

From Phuket International Airport in the north of the island the drive is generally around forty to fifty minutes depending on traffic. Taxis, ride hailing apps and hotel transfers all serve the area, and there is parking near the venue for those arriving by car or scooter.

Good to Know

Opening hours run daily from 11am until late, with last food orders around 10:30pm and last drinks around 11:30pm, and a dedicated Club Room operating Wednesday to Saturday from 10pm. The daytime pool is for guests aged 18 and above and runs until 8pm, while the late night Club Room is for guests aged 20 and above. Booking ahead is wise for weekends, sunset and event nights. Because seating is credit based, most of what you pay for a bed or table comes back as food and drink, so plan to eat and drink at the venue. Confirm any current dress code, the age policy and the exact price and credit for your chosen area when you reserve, as these can vary by day and season.
