About
Right on Chaweng Beach, Elephant Beach Club is where lazy island days roll straight into party sunsets. Grab a sunbed on the sand (there’s a 400 THB minimum spend) and let the staff keep the icy drinks coming while you watch longtails skim the bay. The kitchen turns out crowd-pleasing beach fare—think Thai mains and easygoing Western plates—with the classic burger getting plenty of love from regulars.
As the sun drops, the tempo shifts. Fire dancers take the shoreline stage from around 8pm, and Saturdays bring a proper DJ night with international guests and a lively Chaweng crowd. Early in the week it’s more mellow: live bands on Monday and Wednesday, and a quick cabaret dinner show on Tuesday around 7:30pm. It’s an easy hop from Central Samui and ARKbar next door, so you can make a full crawl of it without ever leaving the beach.
Come by late afternoon for golden-hour cocktails, stay through the fireshow, and end up barefoot on the sand. Expect premium-priced drinks for Samui, polished service, and a soundtrack that moves from laid-back daytime grooves to beach-club energy after dark. Verified March 2026.
