Malika Sky Bar

4.9(2,062 reviews)

Perched above Patong as part of the Kalima Resort on Phabaramee Road, this rooftop bar and terrace draws evening visitors with its elevated position and open-air setting overlooking the surrounding hillsides and city lights. The sky bar format lends itself naturally to sundowners and cocktails, while the terrace setting makes it a fitting choice for dinner in a more atmospheric environment than street-level dining typically offers in Patong. Guests can expect a relaxed yet polished evening setting suited to couples, small groups, and anyone looking to wind down the day with drinks and a view. The rooftop positioning means the experience shifts pleasantly as daylight fades, rewarding those who arrive around opening time with the transition from dusk to nightfall. The venue operates as a restaurant and bar, making it practical for a full evening out rather than drinks alone. Good to know: Malika Sky Bar opens at 17:30 every night of the week and closes at 23:00, keeping consistent hours across the full seven days. Arriving closer to opening time is advisable, particularly on weekends and during the high season between November and April, when rooftop venues in Patong tend to fill early. Smart-casual dress is appropriate for the setting. Reservations or advance checks via the Kalima Resort website are recommended during peak tourist periods.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
