Nai Harn Beach

The Regatta

The Regatta Restaurant at the Royal Phuket Yacht Club is something straight out of a 19th century steamy romantic novel. With its terracotta tiled floors, potted palms and plants, overhead fans and warm sea breezes the Regatta effortlessly cuts such a Somerset Maugham-esque swathe that you'll find yourself wishing you'd brought along your cane and Panama hat.

Beachfront Restaurants

In the shade of the trees from the middle to southern end of Nai Harn Beach stand several bamboo-and-thatch seafood and Thai restaurants. Perhaps the best of the bunch are the two most southern ones. The produce is fresh, the service humorous, the setting quaint and breezy. This is truly dining with sand between your toes.

Coconut Café

Probably the most permanent local Thai-style restaurant in the area, Coconut Café has been serving Thai, seafood and European food for more than two decades and always in the same location by the entrance to the five-star Royal Phuket Yacht Club Resort. With its simple set up, open-air, wooden tables and chairs and with a few fans to cool down the summer air, Coconut Café has one of the best views on the island. Their menu features a good variety of dishes – everything from fried fish with garlic and pepper, fried noodles with pork, won ton soup, phad thai with shrimp, pizza, satay, to spaghetti, sandwiches, ice cream and seasonal fruits. Prices are quite reasonable.

With a bevy of beauties for a wait staff (even the pizza chef is a pretty girl) Da Vinci has certainly got the aesthetics right. Read Da Vinci’s review...

Sai Yuan Road (West)

It features more than 200 dishes but the most popular items must be the Saturday night BBQ buffets and the Sunday traditional English roast dinners.

Tel: +66 (0) 76-289314

Rum Jungle Café

A lot of the area’s professional expatriates wax enthusiastic about Rum Jungle and one gets the definite impression that it is more of a ‘local’ than a tourist restaurant. The bistro is never out-and-out too noisy, with prerecorded music of laid-back Brazilian rhythms and melodies, lending a sort of ‘bistrotheque’ impression. Rum Jungle is situated roadside but is elevated and set back enough to overcome this feature. Read Rum Jungle Café's review...
Style: International
Location: Directly opposite the bright yellow Bank of Ayudhya on Soi Sai Yuan in Nai Harn.
Tel: +66 (0) 76-388153
