Baba Dining Lounge is located in the magnificent Sri Panwa resort, so you can be assured that you’re in a for a refined evening at this bar on the southernmost tip of Phuket. Cape Panwa serves up great views from Baba Dining Lougne.

The bar is huge, with several floors to explore and wander around, or else enjoy the outdoor seating. The décor is fab, too. This Phuket bar is one of the hipper places to party in Phuket, so expect to pay a little over the odds for drinks.

When these guys throw a party, however, it’s always a heck of a lot of fun with a decent crowd of Phuket’s busy socialites. Music varies. Sometimes you’ll hear chill out, while at other times, a DJ might be bashing out house beats or there may be a live vocalist. Worth making the trip for, even if you aren’t actually staying at Cape Panwa.
