If you’re looking for the most Instagrammable cafes in Phuket, here’s your checklist! We’ve selected the top 10 most photogenic cafes and restaurants on the island — places where you can capture content for your social media and enjoy the atmosphere with delicious food. Expect giant water lilies, jungle-style hideouts, panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Andaman Sea, tropical desserts, and stylish interiors made for Instagram Stories.

Ma Doo Bua

One of the most famous Instagram cafes in Phuket, known for its huge water lilies that make for stunning photos. The menu includes refreshing cocktails, desserts, and both Thai and international dishes.

You can take photos on your own in open areas, or pay extra for a signature drone photoshoot — they’ll seat you in a traditional Thai boat among the lilies, and you’ll get incredible “from above” shots.

Three Monkeys Restaurant

This jungle restaurant is surrounded by lush nature and feels like a Balinese cafe — thatched roofs, wooden decks, and tree-trunk pillars high above the ground. The multi-level layout features terraces, bridges, and private corners, all harmoniously blended into the landscape. It’s one of the best locations for “jungle-style” Instagram photos.

In the evening, there’s live music, and during the day you can watch people ziplining above the trees at Hanuman World Park. If you visit the park on your own, make sure to stop by here for a snack and some great photos.

Heaven Restaurant & Bar

A panoramic hilltop restaurant near the Kata–Karon viewpoint, overlooking the beaches and the endless Andaman Sea. It’s perfect for sunset photos and romantic evenings — soft lighting, open terrace, cocktails, and views that need no filter. Tip: arrive 30–40 minutes before sunset to grab the best table, especially in high season.

Tann Terrace

A relatively new spot on Phuket, opened after the pandemic. It’s more of a stylish beach club than a cafe, located right on Karon Beach. You can sit on the open terrace or in one of the cozy indoor lounges. The vibe is relaxed — beach tunes, cocktails, and endless photo angles. A great choice to spend the day by the sea or watch the sunset.

Delico Decoration Coffee & Dessert

An Instagram-worthy cafe on Bypass Road, near Phuket Town. Inside it looks like a mini decor showroom: mirrors, carved details, vintage chairs, and bright blue accents — every corner is photogenic. The menu includes coffee, desserts, sweets, light meals, and beautifully plated breakfasts and brunches (from pancakes to Eggs Benedict — options may vary).

Refresh Tropical Cafe

A tropical-style cafe in Phuket Town, hidden near the parking lot of Limelight Avenue. Surrounded by greenery, with poolside and garden photo zones, sofas, and cozy tables. The menu features fresh fruit smoothies (their specialty), smoothie bowls, desserts, brunch dishes, and coffee. A great place to shoot bright, summery Instagram content.

Day & Night of Phuket

An elegant restaurant in the heart of Phuket Town. High ceilings, huge chandeliers, soft armchairs and sofas, a grand piano — all combined with rough loft-style brick walls. The contrast creates a truly cinematic scene. Especially magical during Christmas and New Year — garlands, a festive tree, live music, and a cozy winter vibe even in the tropics. Perfect for romantic dinners, family evenings, or festive photoshoots.

Kor Ra Kang

A pink “Barbie-style” cafe-restaurant in the very center of Phuket Old Town. Flowers and roses are everywhere — on the walls, ceiling, and tables — every corner is Instagram-ready. You order and pay first, then are guided to your seat. The menu includes snacks, desserts, coffee, and drinks. Prices are above average, but the interior and presentation are made for Instagram.

Coconuts Cafe

A cozy tropical cafe tucked away in a quiet Chalong alley (between Rawai and Chalong Pier). It’s a home turned into a cafe, with cute fairytale-style tables and a bright open veranda overlooking a palm garden — perfect for aesthetic photos. The menu features affordable options like coconut latte, mango smoothie, homemade pastries, and Thai-style bowls. The food is simple, but the vibe is pure Instagram.

Woo Phuket Food & Drinks

If you’re after tropical photos with a chic, polished setting — Woo Phuket is the place. Located by a freshwater lake in Cherng Talay near Bang Tao, it offers thatched roofs, an open-air lounge with lake views, and a gentle breeze. The menu focuses on organic and healthy food: homemade bread, brunches, bowls, seafood, vegetarian options, smoothies, and desserts. It’s cozy for breakfast or early dinner, ideal for sunset photos. Prices are above average, but guests praise the quality and atmosphere.
