Bora Bora by Sunset Café – Batu Ferringhi, Penang
Located along the bustling beach stretch of Batu Ferringhi in Penang, Bora Bora by Sunset is a beachfront café and bar that offers a relaxed, tropical vibe perfect for both day and night hangouts. As its name suggests, the café evokes the breezy island charm of Bora Bora, blending it with the laid-back Malaysian beach culture.
Atmosphere & Ambience
Bora Bora Café sits right on the beach, offering open-air seating under swaying coconut trees and colorful parasols. The rustic wooden furniture, tiki torches, and soft lighting at night create a cozy and romantic setting—ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends looking to unwind by the sea.
The main highlight is its sunset view. Visitors often come in the late afternoon to catch the breathtaking moment when the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden hues across the water.
Food & Drinks
Bora Bora serves a mix of Western, Asian, and local fusion dishes. Popular menu items include grilled seafood, burgers, pasta, fried rice, satay, and sharing platters. It’s not fine dining, but the portions are generous, and the taste is satisfying for the price point.
Their bar menu features a good range of tropical cocktails, beers, and mocktails. The signature drinks, like the Bora Bora Punch or a classic Pina Colada, are refreshing companions to the sea breeze.
Entertainment
In the evenings, there’s often live music or fire shows, especially on weekends or during high season. This adds to the festive beachside vibe, making it a lively spot after dark. The café also provides direct beach access, so guests can dip their toes in the sand or go for a stroll along the shoreline.
Price Range
Prices are mid-range, leaning slightly toward the tourist-friendly side. Expect to pay a bit more than local hawker stalls, but you're paying for the view and atmosphere.
Tips
Arrive early to grab a beachfront seat, especially around sunset. You can reserve the seat earlier too. It can get busy during weekends and holidays—reservations are recommended.
