Where Is Ark Bar Beach Club in Chaweng?

Ark Bar Beach Club is on the beach in Chaweng, Koh Samui, close to Chaweng Beach Road. Chaweng is the island's busiest beach and nightlife center, so most hotels are a walk away. Way2 club, Moby Dick and Chica loca are all nearby.

What Is Ark Bar Beach Club Like?

It is a beach party bar with DJs and fire shows. Expect music, a crowd on the sand and a party mood that builds through the evening. It is a place to drink, watch the show and meet people, rather than a quiet sit-down, so dress for the beach.

Can You Meet Women at Ark Bar Beach Club?

It is a mixed beach party venue, so most people are holidaymakers and groups, and normal dating rules apply. The beach clubs on Samui draw couples and holidaymakers, not working girls. Be friendly, buy a drink and let conversation happen. For bar girls, head to Soi Green Mango.

When Should I Go to Ark Bar Beach Club?

Go as the evening builds, since the DJs and fire shows are the draw. Weekends and the high season draw the biggest crowds. Samui's heaviest rain usually falls from about October to December, so January to August is generally better. Check the schedule on the day, because programs change.

What Is Near Ark Bar Beach Club?

Nearby are Chaweng night market, Moby Dick Irish Pub & Guesthouse, Chica loca, the Chaweng Beach Road massage shops, Way2 club and the Soi Green Mango beer bars. So you can eat at the market, have a massage and move on to the clubs without a ride.

How Does Ark Bar Beach Club Compare with Coco Tam's?

Ark Bar is a beach party bar in Chaweng with DJs and fire shows, so it is loud and busy. Coco Tam's is a beanbags-on-the-sand beach bar in Bophut's Fisherman's Village, also with fire shows but calmer. Pick Ark for a party and Coco Tam's for a relaxed evening.

What Should I Watch for at Ark Bar Beach Club?

Check your bill before you settle, watch your drink being poured and keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket on a crowded beach. Leave your passport in the hotel safe, never swim after drinking and stay well clear of the fire performers.

How Do I Get the Most from Ark Bar Beach Club?

Eat at the Chaweng night market first, arrive as the party builds and find a spot with a view of the show. Settle drinks as you go, keep your valuables close and plan a Grab home. If you want a late club afterwards, The Green Mango Club is nearby.
