18 Best Sunset Restaurants in Phuket!

Baba Nest

Baba Nest rooftop is the most difficult to get in, but it’s undoubtedly the most rewarding. The 360 rooftop bar of the luxurious Sri Panwa Resort on the southeastern coast of Phuket offered us the most spectacular sunset ever. It’s just really hard to get a table on this minimalist blue ceramic terrace, but once you see it with your own eyes, you will know why it’s worth the effort and the high price tag, too! Everywhere around you are the hills and mountains of Phuket island, and to the north are the limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay. Read here how to get there.

Upstairs, DOXA sky bar is where you’ll want to be when the sun starts to drop. The cocktails are creative, and the staff know their stuff. It’s not cheap, and parking isn’t easy (we recommend coming by tuk-tuk), but for a sunset drink with a view and a bit of buzz, Fira delivers something special above Kata Noi.
