Malika Sky Bar

4.9(2,062 reviews)

Perched above Patong as part of the Kalima Resort on Phabaramee Road, Malika Sky Bar and Terrace offers an elevated open-air setting that draws evening visitors for sundowners, cocktails, and dinner against a backdrop of hillside scenery and city lights. The rooftop positioning gives the venue a distinct atmosphere that shifts naturally as dusk gives way to nightfall, making arrival around opening time particularly rewarding for those who want to catch the full transition. The setting suits couples, small groups, and solo travellers looking for a relaxed but polished evening out. As both a bar and restaurant, it works equally well for a full dinner or drinks alone, offering more flexibility than venues focused on one or the other. The open-air terrace format keeps things informal without sacrificing atmosphere, and the hillside elevation separates the experience meaningfully from Patong's busier street-level dining scene below. Good to know: Malika Sky Bar opens at 17:30 every night of the week and closes at 23:00, keeping consistent hours across all seven days. Arriving near 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 fits the setting well. Checking availability or making a reservation through the Kalima Resort website before visiting during peak periods is recommended.

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.
