Long west-facing beach, wide horizons — the island’s classic sunset strip. Home water: residencies at Fira Beach Club and Carpediem were built on this light.

Kamala & Surin — sunset location in Phuket

Kamala & Surin

Elevated decks and calm bays. Sunset here is quieter — the music stays horizontal a little longer.

Nai Harn & Rawai — sunset location in Phuket

Beach Club Sunset Session

The signature format: 17:30 to after dark, balearic and downtempo building with the light, landing in deep house once the sky burns out.

02

Villa Golden Hour

A private terrace, a long table, the sun doing the decoration. Music that stays under the conversation until the first toast — then lifts the evening.

03

Sunset Cruise

Onboard sets for yachts and catamarans, timed to the exact minute the sun touches the sea. Autonomous sound, sea-safe setup.

04

Restaurant Sunset Seating

For west-coast dining rooms: a scored golden hour that carries guests from aperitivo into dinner without losing the table.

FAQ

The sun sets between roughly 18:00 and 18:45 all year round — Phuket is close to the equator, so the shift across seasons is small. A typical arc starts at 17:30, peaks with the light and lands after dark. Exact timing is set to your date.

The set adapts, it doesn’t cancel. Overcast evenings get a warmer, slower arc; rain moves the setup under cover in minutes. The music follows the actual sky, not the brochure.

Usually 3–4 hours: an hour of horizontal music before the sun drops, the golden-hour peak, and a gentle landing into the evening program. Longer arcs — pool afternoon to midnight — are easy to build.

That is the most-booked version. The tempo stands up after dark and the same musical story continues into dinner or a dancefloor — no handover, no reset of energy.

Balearic, downtempo, organic and deep house, disco edits — sun-lit music with a pulse. Vinyl-only sunset sets are available on request.
