Beachfront Dining Elevated: Rava Beach Club Launches Pura Vida Sunday Brunch
Phuket, Thailand, November 12, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Everything you thought you knew about brunch ends here. Rava Beach Club now launches Pura Vida Brunch, transforming Sundays into a celebration of exceptional food, leisure, and beachfront living. Rava Beach Club carries forward the legacy of Banyan Tree Phuket’s celebrated brunches, reimagined for today’s generation of travellers and discerning locals. By combining premium seafood, fire-grilled meats, authentic Thai flavours, live entertainment, and unparalleled beachfront access, Pura Vida Sunday Brunch establishes itself as the island’s essential Sunday ritual.
Every Sunday from 12pm to 3:30pm, Thailand’s largest beachfront destination invites guests to experience Phuket’s only beach club brunch where dining, swimming, and seaside lounging exist as one continuous experience across 180 metres of Bang Tao Beach. Priced at THB 2,900 net per person, the experience includes a bottle of house wine per couple.
Philosophy of Pure Living
The name “Pura Vida” reflects an appreciation for life in its purest form. Here, brunch focuses on what matters: premium, ethically sourced ingredients, refined techniques, and the island’s natural beauty. A monthly rotating menu ensures each visit brings fresh discovery of flavours to reflect season change.
Culinary Journey
The raw bar features French oysters paired with carefully crafted condiments. Fresh tuna, salmon, and Hamachi sashimi follow, dressed minimally to let the quality speak.
The cooked seafood bar builds on this foundation with New Zealand mussels, blue swimmer crab, king prawns, and fresh local prawns receiving Rava’s signature charcoal-grilled treatment.
A charcuterie selection features thinly sliced Wagyu bresaola, Serrano ham, pastrami, and mortadella alongside local artisanal cheeses, homemade sourdough, and traditional accompaniments. The sausage sizzle station celebrates artisanal sausage makers with locally crafted varieties served hot off the grill with an array of condiments. Live stations add theatre as sushi chefs prepare fresh maki and nigiri, while pasta chefs toss guests’ choice of gnocchi, spaghetti, or fettuccine with nduja, seafood, or carbonara sauces.
At the carving station, the heart of the feast reveals itself. Rotisserie beef, roast pork belly, charcoal grilled chicken, smoked pork ribs, and whole local grouper take centre stage, each prepared with Rava’s signature fire-grilling technique. Traditional accompaniments—jus, mint jelly, apple sauce, mustard—allow guests to compose their plates with intention.
The Thai Corner honours Thailand’s culinary heritage with spicy Som Tum (Thai green papaya salad), Yum Nua Yang (Thai beef salad), stir-fried sweet and sour fish, chicken with cashew nuts, and Southern-style noodles—dishes that balance bold heat and fragrance. The preparations stay true to Thai tradition, with no compromise on technique or flavour.
To close, the dessert station includes yuzu cheesecake with strawberry jelly, tiramisu, chocolate mousse with orange crumb, and carrot cake crowned with cream cheese frosting, alongside an ice cream bar with customisable toppings for a refreshing finish.
The Veuve Clicquot Experience
For those seeking the ultimate indulgence, Rava introduces the Veuve Clicquot Brunch starting 5 October 2025. Priced at THB 5,900 net per person, this edition pairs a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne per couple with the complete brunch menu, elevating an already exceptional experience to new heights.
The Chef’s Vision
“My vision for Pura Vida Brunch is to celebrate ingredients for what they are: pure, honest, and full of life,” shares Chef Joshua Gray, Head Chef of Rava Beach Club. “By pairing fresh produce with refined techniques, we create bold, impactful flavours that reflect both Phuket’s natural bounty and global culinary inspirations.”
Chef Gray’s commitment to sustainability and ingredient provenance shapes every aspect of the menu. While premium oysters, Wagyu beef, and lamb are imported for their exceptional quality, Rava proudly partners with local farmers, cheesemakers, and fishermen. Local grouper, artisanal cheeses, and locally crafted sausages bring regional character to the menu, ensuring each plate tells a story that bridges global excellence with authentic local partnerships.
Beyond the Plate
What truly distinguishes Rava’s Sunday Brunch is its understanding that memorable experiences extend beyond food alone. Throughout October, live DJs and percussionists create an uplifting atmosphere that blends with the sound of the sea. From November, the experience expands with immersive performances, dancers, and parades, transforming each Sunday into a beachfront celebration.
Set within Laguna Phuket, Rava Beach Club offers guests complete access to three infinity pools, where the rhythm of the day shifts from relaxed afternoon lounging to vibrant social energy as the sun begins its descent. Beachfront sunbeds invite guests to extend their stay, transitioning seamlessly from dining to seaside relaxation without ever leaving the venue. This integration of culinary excellence with full beach club amenities creates an experience unavailable anywhere else in Phuket.
Rava Beach Club is located within Laguna Phuket on Bang Tao Beach, easily accessible with a 20-minute transfer from Phuket International Airport.
Pura Vida Sunday Brunch is available every Sunday from 12 pm to 3:30 pm.
