My Top 5 Rooftop Bars in Phuket
I have been to every rooftop bar on this page more than once. If you only have time for a few, these are the five I keep going back to.
Baba Nest at Sri Panwa
Still, the one rooftop bar I take visiting friends to when they ask for the best sunset in Phuket. It is far, expensive, and you need to book weeks ahead, but nothing else on the island comes close. The 360-degree view from that wooden deck, surrounded by water with the islands in the distance, is something you do not forget. Read More
Reflections Rooftop Bar
The rooftop I go to when I want something quieter than the usual crowd. The terrace sits right above Nai Harn Bay with cushioned seating and water features around you. The cocktails are well made, and the view over Windmill Hill at sunset is one of the best on the south coast. Read More
Akoya Star Lounge
One of the more exclusive rooftops in Phuket, with a minimum spend per person. But the setting is special. You sit on daybeds overlooking a secluded bay on the southeast coast. It fills up with Instagram crowds in the evening, so book ahead. Read More
The Sundeck
High above Kata Noi Beach on the road between Kata and Nai Harn. Almost everyone drives past this spot at least once. The view down to Kata Noi is excellent, the sangria is their signature, and they serve proper food if you want to stay for dinner. One of the newer rooftops, but already one of the most popular. Read More
Malika at Kalima Resort
The one I recommend to people who want a quiet sunset without the crowds. It is at the Kalima Resort on the hill between Patong and Kamala, with a clean view over the sea. Not many people know about it, and that is part of why I like it. No DJ, no fuss, just a good drink and a sunset. Read MoreRooftop Bars in Patong
Patong has more rooftop bars than any other area in Phuket. Most are on hotel terraces overlooking Patong Bay. They are convenient if you are staying in Patong and want a sunset drink before heading to Bangla Road. Kee Sky Lounge and Andaman Sky Lounge are the most popular. Sizzle, on the hills above Patong at Avista Hideaway, is the best for a steak dinner with a view. L’arome by the Sea on nearby Kalim Beach is also within easy reach of Patong.Sizzle

Rooftop Bars in South Phuket
Nai Harn and Cape Panwa are home to two of the best rooftop bars on the island. Baba Nest at Sri Panwa is the most famous and requires booking weeks in advance. Reflections at The Nai Harn is quieter and easier to get into, with a beautiful terrace overlooking the bay.Baba Nest at Sri Panwa
| Location: Cape Panwa |
Baba Nest at Sri Panwa is the ultimate rooftop bar in Phuket. It’s far, hard to find, hard to get, and there is usually a two-week waiting list to get a table, but it’s worth it. Once you get a table, hold a cocktail or a glass of Champagne, and witness a glorious sunset over Panwa Bay, you will know why you went through this. Baba Nest is in the Sri Panwa Hotel, on the remote Cape Panwa in the southeast of Phuket Island, high above Phuket Aquarium.

Rooftop Bars in East Phuket
The east side of Phuket is quieter and less developed, but Akoya Star Lounge at V Villas on Ao Yon Beach is one of the most exclusive rooftop bars on the island. It faces east, so there is no sunset here, but the secluded bay setting and the atmosphere after dark make up for it.Akoya Star Lounge
| Location: Ao Yon Beach |
Akoya Star Lounge is an upmarket rooftop bar and tapas restaurant at V Villas Phuket by MGallery in Ao Yon Beach, a secluded cove southeast of Phuket. Every evening, the place is full of Instagram and selfie lovers, so you must book in advance. You also need to know that the minimum spending is 2,354 baht per person, which makes it rather expensive.

Hours: 5 pm – 11 pm

Rooftop Bars in Phuket Town
Phuket Town does not have many rooftop bars, but the few that exist are worth visiting after a walk through the Old Town streets. Estrela on the 18th floor of the Novotel Phokeethra is the highest rooftop in Phuket Town with views across the city. Quip is the budget option: a small wooden platform on top of a shophouse hotel, with bean bags, fairy lights, and affordable drinks. Hilltop Cafe by Sinae on nearby Koh Siray also counts as a Phuket Town option since it is only a short drive from the Old Town.Estrela Rooftop Bar & Restaurant
| Location: Phuket Town |
Estrela is one of the least-known rooftop bars in Phuket but an excellent place to enjoy panoramic views of Phuket Town. Estrela rooftop lounge is on the 18th floor of the Novotel Phokeethra.

The place creates an intimate atmosphere with dark woods and artificial candlelights.

Quip Rooftop Bar
| Location: Phuket Town |
Quip Sky Bar is a lovely rooftop bar and restaurant at the top of the Quip Hotel in Phuket town. The hotel is original and fun to visit, with an old Austin car used as a reception counter. Since it is close to the historical streets of Phuket Town (Thalang Road, Dibuk Road and Phang Nga Road), it is an excellent way to cool down with a drink in an unexpected location. Don’t picture a sophisticated Bangkok rooftop bar here; it is a large wooden platform with incandescent lights hanging from wooden poles and comfy bean bags to crash in and look at the sky above. While the view from up there (and it’s not high either) is not particularly impressive, the result works well.
Location: Phuket Town – Quip Hotel
Address: 54 Phuket Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Phuket Town 83000
Open: 4 pm – 12 am

Hours: 10 am – 8 pm
Phuket Rooftop Bars Through the Years
When I arrived in Phuket in the early 1990s, the only place you could get a drink with a panoramic view was After Beach Bar above Kata Noi Beach. It was a cheap reggae bar with plastic chairs and a Bob Marley theme, but the view over the bay was stunning. That was it. There were no rooftop bars and no reason to build any since a 1997 law limits building height near beaches to 12 metres, roughly the height of a coconut tree. What Phuket does have is hills, and that is where the rooftop bar scene eventually came from. Small bars and restaurants started appearing on hillsides and headlands, taking advantage of the elevation that buildings near the beach could never reach. Baba Nest at Sri Panwa changed everything around 2012. A full 360-degree terrace overlooking the islands of the southeast coast, with serious cocktails and a two-week waiting list. I only made it there around 2015 because it is far from everything, expensive, and you need to book well in advance. But the experience is unlike anything else on the island.Insider Tips
Most Phuket rooftop bars are actually hillside bars. Locals call them rooftops because people immediately understand they will get panoramic views. The real gems are the quieter ones: Malika at Kalima Resort for the sunset over Patong Bay, Reflections at The Nai Harn for the view over the bay and Windmill Hill, and Akoya at V Villas for a more intimate evening. They are not too loud, and the views are superb. The louder, party-style rooftops have their place, but Phuket sunsets are best enjoyed without competing with a DJ.Map of Phuket Rooftops Bars
