A beautiful beach bar with a relaxed atmosphere and stunning sunsets. Delicious cocktails, good food, and friendly service – a real hidden gem on Koh Samui!

Bantai Beach · Maenam, Koh Samui
An open, sandy beach at the quiet end of Maenam — claim a sunbed, swim, and stay for the best sunset.A day on an open, sandy beach at the quiet end of Maenam. Claim a sunbed at the water’s edge, order lunch and cold drinks straight to your lounger, swim whenever you like, and stay for the best sunset on Koh Samui.
A day at the beach club
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
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
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.
View menu & drinksGolden hour
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.
Reserve a Sunbed

Work by the sea
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.

We’re open every day, all year, from 10 in the morning until 10 at night. Come early for a quiet swim and a long lunch, or roll in around four for the sunset and stay into the evening. The kitchen and bar run right through, so there’s no gap in the day.

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.

I have eaten here a few times, and we also had the staff cater our wedding next door in the Cape Villas. The food and service are excellent!

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.
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.
