ARKbar Beach Club
ARKbar combines Chaweng’s beach setting with music and drinks. It is a nearby option for a beach evening from Blackjack.
In brief
ARKbar combines a beach club, restaurant and resort right on Chaweng Beach. The operator dates its beginnings to 2000. Today, DJs, beach atmosphere and evening entertainment are the focus.
Make the most of it
Use ARKbar to kick off your evening: have a drink by the beach and enjoy the atmosphere, then head towards Soi Green Mango if you want more. Travellers recommend that sequence; there is no need to commit your whole night to one venue.
Check beforehand
Ask directly about current conditions for a particular table, sunbed or event night. A regular restaurant visit and a reserved club area are not automatically the same offer.
Things to watch
Guests praise the energy while also criticising the strong bass. Repeated comments about volume help set realistic expectations: come to party rather than for a quiet dinner.
From Blackjack
A beach stop complements your evening in Chaweng's club district. The map gives you the current route and distance; check show times with the organiser beforehand.
