Sun-Soaked Beach Club with Ibiza Mood

Sun-Soaked Beach Club with Ibiza Mood

With a unique “hydro bar”, vistas of Pattaya Beach, and fiery entertainment, LAY Beach Club has opened in the heart of Thailand’s vibrant Pattaya. The exciting new venue is situated on Beach Road on the Gulf of Thailand’s east coast, a short drive from Bangkok, and has already been dubbed “the place to be”.

The evening’s entertainment is underscored by an enthralling 20-minute fire show packed with high-impact tricks and choreography

The beach club’s crème de la crème is the hydro bar, an elegant cocktail pool where the water’s surface appears to seamlessly merge with the ocean. Dotted with submerged loungers, the hydro bar is surrounded by a white-sand area and deck featuring circle sofas and cabanas.

Also exuding a Mediterranean feel, the lounge and bar area anchoring the beach club caters to almost 250 people. The space is crowned by a chic rooftop lounge, with a capacity for more than 100 guests seated or 300 guests for cocktail events, affording panoramic views of Pattaya Beach.

The a la carte menu brims with Mediterranean and Asian favourites including artisanal sandwiches and wraps, hearty rice and pasta dishes, fresh seafood mains and signature specialities.

Highlights with locally sourced seafood include ‘Hand shucked oysters with shallot mignonette, lemon and salsa verde’, and ‘Seafood paella rice with prawn, mussel, squid and clam’. Indulgent desserts such as the Sicily Cannoli generously filled with orange mascarpone, pistachio and drizzled in rich chocolate sauce round out the menu.

The beverage menu is extensive, featuring smoothies and shakes, juices, sodas, iced drinks, beers, wines, champagne, classic cocktails and all sorts of imaginative creations by the award-winning bar team.

Cocktails such as the pandan-scented ‘Blue Tides’, made up of vodka, coconut juice, pandan syrup and coconut milk topped with blue coconut foam, bring creative flair to the menu. ‘The Wave Rider’ is characterised by floral and citrus notes, featuring gin, Lillet Rosé, rose syrup, aloe vera juice, egg white and lime juice. A reinterpretation of a classic Bloody Mary, ‘Sriracha Spark’ packs a punch with clarified vodka, Sriracha sauce, tomato juice, green olive juice, lime, paprika, and salt and pepper.

“LAY Beach Club brings the atmosphere of the famed Mediterranean chill-out beach clubs to Pattaya, with a dynamic menu offering something for everyone,” said Javier Gimeno, the general manager at Meliá Pattaya Hotel, which manages LAY Beach Club.
