Café del Mar sits on the Kamala shoreline, with a pool, beds facing the sea and a penthouse suite above the club. The day starts slow, with long lunches and cocktails by the water, and turns after sunset when red lights and fire take over and international DJs play into the night. The kitchen cooks international food to go with the cocktails.

“We checked in during the afternoon, and by night, it felt like a completely different world.”

Barra Cuda is a beach club inside a resort on the Patong beach road, with lounge beds facing the waves and a dancefloor set in a pool. Days here are long, from a shaded beach bar with handmade cocktails through to La Riviera, the Mediterranean restaurant, and a party that builds after dark. Tables run on a minimum spend, and the shisha is paid in cash.

“Such a wonderful mix of a chill atmosphere and a happening vibe.”
