4 editor picks in Phuket.
4 rooftop bars in Phuket our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Phuket nightlife.
Baba Nest at Sri Panwa is a square rooftop deck ringed by an infinity pool on Cape Panwa, Phuket's south-east tip, with 360-degree views of the islands.
TipBook well ahead: outside guests pay a non-refundable 2,000 baht minimum spend per person, and the deck closes automatically when it rains.
Kee Sky Lounge sits on the sixth and seventh floors of The Kee Resort in Patong, close enough to walk from Bangla Road but quiet above the crowds below.
TipHappy hour runs 21:00 to 23:00 with buy-one-get-one drink deals; a glass sea-view lift takes you straight up from the lobby.
DOXA Skybar reaches over the Andaman Sea via a skywalk above Fira Phuket at Kata Noi, a mixology-led rooftop with a changing cocktail programme.
TipArrive just before sunset for the sea views; it opens at 16:00 and the Roots, a smoky rye and mezcal twist on a boulevardier, is the house pick.
360 Bar and Lounge at The Pavilions Phuket is an open-air wooden deck in the hills above Bang Tao and Layan, looking over a bamboo grove to the Andaman Sea.
TipThe bar is not reachable by car; a buggy takes guests up from the front of the hotel. Order from the signature tapas menu with Western and Asian touches.
