There is something magical about Phuket’s sunsets.

That fleeting moment when the sun descends into the horizon and the blue skies evolve into orangey-purplish earthy tones; every second is a wonder and we wish we could freeze time just to admire these natural phenomena for just a little longer.

Phuket clearly has no lack of bars, but the question is – which places boast the best vantage points? Here are 9 Bars in Phuket To Watch The Most Stunning Sunsets.

#1 BABA NEST

Baba Nest is our ultimate favourite place in Phuket to catch the sunset. It sits within luxury Sri panwa Resort & Villa Phuket, and it boasts an unrivalled panoramic view of the ocean. Watch the majestic sun set against the boundless horizons of Phuket over a cocktail or two; it is one unforgettable experience.
