Coast Beach Club Phuket
Coast Beach Club Phuket is the only beachfront beach club directly on Karon Beach, attached to the Centara Grand resort at 683 Patak Rd. The format runs as a polished daytime beach club with the option to extend into early evening; the venue is built around the pool, day beds, and the direct beach access. Mid-priced cocktails, smart-casual dress, and a mix of hotel guests and walk-in visitors define the crowd. The space holds about 200 across the pool deck, day beds, and the covered cocktail bar. Drink prices sit at the upper Karon tier; the day-bed minimum applies and is generally worth it for half-day or full-day visitors. The Mediterranean styling matches the Centara format; the food menu runs Mediterranean-Thai fusion.

Full Review
Coast Beach Club sits within the Centara Grand resort on Karon Beach, with the venue's entrance accessible from the beach road or through the hotel. The format runs as a polished beach club with the pool deck, day beds, and direct beach access as the primary draws. The covered cocktail bar handles drinks and small bites; the dining section serves Mediterranean-Thai fusion at lunch and dinner.
The pool deck is the venue's anchor. The infinity-edge pool faces the Andaman; day beds and loungers fill the deck around it; the umbrellas and cabanas provide shade through the day. Day-bed packages include food and drink minimums; walk-in visitors can use the cocktail bar without the day-bed commitment but can't access the pool or loungers.
The Mediterranean-Thai fusion menu handles the upper Karon tier. Grilled seafood, salads, mezze plates, and a few Thai dishes (pad thai, green curry, fried rice) round out the offering. The kitchen executes consistently; the food matches the price tier. The cocktail program runs standard tropical drinks (mojitos, piña coladas, mai tais) alongside a few more ambitious mixed drinks.
The drink pricing sits at the upper Karon tier. Beer at 180-280 THB; cocktails at 320-480 THB. The pricing reflects the resort positioning and the direct beachfront access. The day-bed minimum (1,500-2,500 THB) generally works out as good value for half-day or full-day visitors.
The crowd is mixed hotel guests and walk-in visitors. Centara Grand guests get free access during the day; walk-ins pay the minimum. The mix is older couples, small adult groups, and longer-stay tourists. The dynamic is conversational rather than party-leaning; the format isn't trying to compete with the Patong beach club scene.
Compared with the Patong beach clubs (Cafe del Mar, Catch Beach Club) and the polished Kata venues (Fira, Re Ka Ta), Coast Beach Club is more daytime-focused and less party-leaning. The Centara Grand association provides operational reliability; the format runs as the polished Karon beach option.
