A day at the beach club

Claim a sunbed, keep it till the sunset

Pick a sunbed at the water's edge or a shaded lounger further back, and it's yours for the day. A cold towel arrives, then a fresh coconut you didn't have to walk for. Food and cold drinks come straight to you, so there's nothing to organise and nowhere to queue.

The beach out front is open and sandy, with no rocks or reef in the way. That means you can actually swim here, push a kayak or a paddleboard out, and come back to your sunbed to dry off. Swim a few lengths, doze a while, then stay put as the sky turns gold. It's yours until the sunset.

Reserve your spot

Tell us when you’re coming, we’ll hold a sunbed

You can always just turn up; walk-ins are welcome any day. The only thing that goes fast is the front row at sunset, so if you know when you’re coming, send us a message and we’ll hold a sunbed for you. No deposit, nothing to pay up front. You just settle your food and drinks at the end.

At the bar

Sundowners and signature cocktails

The best seat for the sunset is already yours, so order in and stay put. Our bartenders are known for a few signatures: a Mango Strawberry Mai Thai, a Passionfruit Mojito, an Aperol Tropical for the golden hour. The kitchen sends out plates to match: a Khao Phad Coco, a Chicken Leg Confit, a Mixed Seafood Platter straight off the grill to share. It’s proper food, cooked fresh, a few steps from the water.

Golden hour

The best sunset on Koh Samui

Maenam faces west, so the sun drops straight into the water in front of you. From about five, the sky starts to turn and the whole beach slows down for it. Order a cocktail, keep your feet in the sand, and watch it go from gold to pink from your own sunbed. On Wednesdays and Sundays there's a DJ by the bar and a fire show once it's dark. Same beach, a little more going on.

Work by the sea

Bring your laptop to the beach

A handful of air-conditioned desks with fast wifi and good coffee, a few steps from the sand. There's no day pass to buy: a 500 THB minimum spend covers your desk, and your food and drinks cover the 500. Work through the morning, close the laptop at five, and swim before the sunset.

My husband surprised me with a romantic dinner at Cape Away Beach Bar for our wedding anniversary, and it was truly one of the most memorable evenings we've shared together.

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.

Reserve a sunbed, or just walk in

Walk-ins are welcome every day of the week. But the front-row sunbeds at sunset go fast, so tell us when you’re coming and we’ll hold one for you. No deposit; you just settle your food and drinks at the end.
