Café del Mar transposes its Balearic signature to the west coast of Phuket, with suites and penthouses facing the Andaman Sea.
Café del Mar Phuket - Suite & Penthouse
From
268.825 €
“Two overlapping infinity pools, direct view of the Andaman sunset from every suite.”
Café del Mar Phuket occupies a cliff in Kamala, between Patong and Surin, and we recognise immediately the visual vocabulary of the brand: immaculate white, clean lines, outdoor teak furniture. The suites and penthouses are staggered on the slope, all with private terrace and frontal sea view. Two infinity pools overlap, the upper one reserved for penthouses, the lower one accessible to all residents. The spa offers traditional Thai massages and signature treatments in cabins open to the tropical vegetation. We tested a three-bedroom penthouse: light stone floors, Miele equipped kitchen, bathtub facing the horizon, dès 269 € la nuit according to the season. Kamala beach is reached on foot in eight minutes via a shaded path. Address for couples and small groups looking for the Café del Mar aesthetic without giving up space ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Café del Mar Phuket to couples in their thirties and forties who already know the brand and seek an Asian version of the Ibiza experience. It is an address for design honeymoons, retreats with friends (the penthouses accommodate up to six people), romantic getaways without children. Families will find the space but the atmosphere remains resolutely adult, lounge music in the background from 17h.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Café del Mar Phuket comprises three contemporary buildings staggered on a wooded slope facing the Andaman Sea. Minimalist architecture signed by a Thai firm, inaugurated in 2018: white concrete, large sliding glass bays, vegetated roof terraces. Interiors in the Café del Mar palette: white, linen, light wood, touches of cobalt blue. The penthouses occupy the upper level with private pools, the suites the intermediate levels with terraces of 40 to 60 m².
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
A main restaurant serves Mediterranean and Thai fusion cuisine, open midday and evening, terrace facing the sunset. Short menu: ceviches, local fish grills, composed salads, a few revisited Thai classics. The lounge bar offers signature cocktails and tapas until midnight, DJ sets at weekends in high season. Continental breakfast served in room or at the restaurant, expanded buffet formula from 7h to 11h. Room service available 24h/24, reduced menu after 22h.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Phuket
Café del Mar stands on the heights of Kamala, a quiet bay on the west coast of Phuket between Patong (4 km south) and Surin (3 km north). The neighbourhood remains residential and sparsely built, dense vegetation, a few private villas and small resorts. Kamala beach below: blond sand, local seafood restaurants, family atmosphere far from the bustle of Patong. Phuket international airport 35 minutes by car, Phuket Town 25 minutes. No direct public transport, the hotel organises shuttles and private taxis.
