9PM
To finish off the evening, enjoy a drink
at fabulous lakeside restaurant and
bar Skye Lake Club. Accessed via an
inviting curved wooden staircase, floor-
to-ceiling glass walls line the venue on
three sides, maximising the views, while
an outdoor terrace extends out over the
water. Ease yourself into a seat, and
order one of their signature cocktails
such as the Skye Spice – a refreshing
blend of rum, ginger and lime.
6PM
By now you’ve probably built
up an appetite. So change into
something a little more ‘smart
casual’ and make the short
taxi trip over to Bampot,
set in a restored traditional
shophouse. Chef Jamie
Wakeford has been turning
heads on the island with his
inventive combination of local
ingredients and contemporary
European recipes – make sure
to order the Thai-style fried
cauliflower and divine slow-
cooked wagyu beef cheeks.
SUNDAY
12PM
It’s a ways off the beaten track, but
it’s worth making the trek out to
Breeze at Cape Yamu for their
famous Long Lazy Sunday brunch,
where delicious shared dishes are
served at one long table. This open-
air space sits atop a promontory with
amazing views of Phuket’s east coast,
with the French-Canadian chef
serving up an ever-changing mix of
fusion cuisine accompanied by one
of the island’s best wine lists.
9AM
Lest you forget, Phuket is a
tropical island filled with lush
jungle. While most of it is
impenetrable, at Hanuman
World you can soar through
the trees with the simplest
of ease. Named after the
Hindu monkey god, choose
between an easy sky walk high
above the rainforest, a more
challenging zipline and abseil
adventure, or a roller coaster-
style ride where you’re hurled
down an overhanging track.
