The island is pulsing this weekend, with international DJs in town spinning deep groove, house and techno at some of our favourite venues from Illuzion to Cafe Del Mar. But if that’s not enough to wet your whistle, a boat party awaits the intrepid raver, hosted by Sail Away Party.
Feeling creative after the dance? There’s chilled out art activities to zen out to at Amatara Welleisure Resort – or you could always get eco-minded and help clean up the beach. The choice is yours this weekend in Phuket.
This week, Phuket’s seaside mega club welcomes tribal groove veteran Amine K to get the dancefloor pumping. Hailing from Morocco, this globally-toured house and electronic DJ and producer promises a set that merges progressive tribal and tek house. Local face Eli Cicada warms up the decks so get down early and get your steps in.
