Sabaii Bay Beach Club

Sabaii Bay is a beachfront resort and beach club on Baan Tai beach, on Koh Phangan's south coast. An infinity pool overlooks the water, with sunbeds on the beachfront lounge, and the bar and restaurant serve Thai and international food from late morning to midnight.

Days are calm: you can swim, kayak or paddleboard, or work from the resort's co-working space and gym. The club is best known for its Friday night beach party, which starts with a sunset session at around 5pm and builds into a full night with several DJs playing house and techno on a beachfront dance floor with a proper sound system. Entry is usually free or low early in the evening.

It suits friends and couples who want a laid-back pool afternoon followed by a beach party without heading to Haad Rin. Rooms and bungalows are on site, and Thong Sala is a short drive away.
