The week

There's a rhythm to the week here

Tuesday is easy, just a saxophone by the bar. Wednesday and Sunday are the big nights: a DJ, dancers, and fire on the sand.

Sundowner sets

Sunset sessions with the DJ

Nothing loud, nothing that drowns out the waves — just relaxed, sun-warmed sets by the bar while the sky turns. The DJ starts early: Sunday from 2 in the afternoon, Wednesday from 5. It's the kind of music you can still talk over, a drink in your hand and your feet in the sand.

Sunday evenings

The dance & drum show

Come Sunday evening, two dancers and a drummer move down off the terrace, weaving between the tables and carrying the beat all the way to the water. Three or four times across the night, and they pass right by your table.

The grand finale

The fire show

When the sky goes dark, the fire comes out. It happens on the sand, but the performers don't stay there: they move up into the crowd, spinning fire ropes right over your head and throwing flames close enough to feel the heat. Wednesday at 7:15, Sunday at 7:30. Best watched with a cocktail in hand.

Tuesdays

Live saxophone

A saxophonist sets up by the bar as the sun starts to drop, and plays from 5:30, low and easy over the water. No show, no crowd. Just the sax, the sunset, and a slow drink before the week begins.

Whatever the weather

The show goes on

A little rain doesn't stop us. We pull down the clear blinds, everyone moves inside, and the show carries on, fire and all. The only exception is the heavy rain in October and November, when we sometimes have to call it off.

Drink & dine at the Beach Club

Signature cocktails, signature plates

The evening starts here. A Passionfruit Mojito or a Mango Strawberry Mai Thai, the best seat for the sunset, and a table of plates to share: the Khao Soi Chicken people come back for, a Mixed Seafood Platter straight off the grill. Cocktails, food, and the sky going from gold to pink.
