16 Best Places to Watch Sunset in Phuket!

What are the best sunset bars in Phuket?

Sunset bars in Phuket are a great way to end the day with a panoramic view, no matter the season. And people here know that the rainy season offers more dramatic sunsets than high because of the monsoon clouds. During the high season, skies are often dull and unattractive, and without clouds, photos are rather bland without clouds. But when the last rays of sunlight hit the heavy monsoon clouds, you are in for a spectacular show. In the list of sunset bars, below are some of the places we enjoy most to end the day with a drink or a meal. Life in Phuket is fun, and each moment of your stay here should be unforgettable, so pick a place and make your holiday count!

Note that there are many other viewpoints where you can enjoy a sunset, such as the famous Promthep Cape, but the ones we list below are bars or restaurants where you can sit and have a perfect sunset cocktail.

1. Baba Nest

Baba Nest Rooftop Bar at Sri Panwa

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.
