Why Cape Away
A quiet stretch of Maenam most visitors never find
At the calm west end of Maenam, on Bantai Beach — open, sandy water with no rocks or reef, so you can actually swim, and a west-facing horizon with the best sunset on the bay.
The beach club
Claim a sunbed, keep it till the sunset
Pick a sunbed at the water's edge or a shaded daybed for the afternoon, and it's yours for the day. A cold towel arrives, then a coconut you didn't have to walk for; food and drinks come to your lounger, and the water stays calm and easy to swim in. Nothing to organise. Just stay put as the sky turns and the bar warms up for golden hour. Just tell us when you're coming.
Wednesdays & Sundays
Fire on the sand, once the sun is down
Sun 5–7 pm
Dance & drum show
Experience a breathtaking dance and drum show, moving from the terrace all the way to the beach.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at Cape Away Beach Bar. I planned my marriage proposal there, and the team helped me organize everything perfectly from start to finish.

Great restaurant right on the beach. Food was amazing. Great selection for adults and children. DJ was playing Sunday we were there but it wasn't too loud and the kids really enjoyed it.
