COMO Point Yamu pairs far-reaching sea views with colourful interiors, Southern Thai dining and restorative wellness – making it an ideal base for slowing down, exploring the island and switching off in style.
COMO Point Yamu turns the bay into its best feature
COMO Point Yamu sits at the tip of Cape Yamu on Phuket’s quieter east coast, where the resort looks across Phang Nga Bay rather than towards the island’s busier beach districts. The setting gives the property a sense of space from the moment you arrive – and places the serrated limestone islands of southern Thailand firmly at the centre of the experience.
The resort is around 25 to 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport, making it an easy first stop after a long flight. Once you arrive, the pace changes quickly: open corridors, floor-to-ceiling windows and broad sea views create a natural rhythm between the interiors and the landscape.
Your room at COMO Point Yamu is designed around the view, with floor-to-ceiling glass bringing the sea and surrounding greenery into the space. Choose a private pool villa for your own stretch of water and outdoor lounging, or settle into one of the resort’s modern rooms and suites, where clean lines, cool tones and generous windows keep the setting in focus. The effect is calm, airy and easy to live in – especially when your morning begins with Phang Nga Bay outside.
Paola Navone’s interiors bring Phuket indoors
Italian designer Paola Navone shaped the resort’s visual identity around the colours and cultural references of Phuket. Aquamarine tones echo the surrounding sea, while burnt orange nods to Buddhist robes and the island’s Peranakan heritage. Cool white walls, patterned tiles and generous windows keep the design feeling light.
It’s a distinctive approach to island style. Rather than relying on rattan, thatch and predictable tropical motifs, COMO Point Yamu uses colour, geometry and texture to create rooms and public spaces with a clear point of view. The result feels contemporary but connected to its setting.
Accommodation ranges from rooms and suites to private pool villas, with the resort’s elevated position giving many spaces views across the bay or towards Cape Yamu’s green landscape. The best part of the design is its restraint: the details are expressive, but they never compete with the view outside.
You can eat from Phuket to Italy without leaving the resort
Dining here follows two distinct paths. At La Sirena, simple Italian cuisine meets an open-air setting overlooking Phang Nga Bay. Think wood-fired dishes, fresh ingredients and long lunches that can stretch comfortably into the afternoon.
Nahmyaa takes a different direction, drawing on the bold flavours of Southern Thailand. Its menu explores the region’s balance of hot, sweet, salty and sour, with locally sourced ingredients and contemporary interpretations of traditional dishes. The restaurant sits on the ground floor of the resort, with indoor and private dining spaces designed around the bay. Aqua Bar serves poolside cocktails and light snacks throughout the day.
For a more health-focused approach, COMO Shambhala Kitchen brings nutrient-conscious dishes into the resort’s restaurants and in-room dining. It’s a useful reminder that wellness here isn’t confined to the spa – it also appears in what you eat and how you spend the day.
COMO Shambhala makes time for doing very little
The resort’s wellness centre, COMO Shambhala, includes eight treatment rooms, four Thai massage alcoves, a sauna, steam room, hydropool, fitness centre and yoga studio. Several treatment spaces look towards the bay, so even a quiet hour indoors keeps you connected to the landscape.
You can book Asian-inspired therapies, traditional Thai massage and restorative treatments, or join the daily schedule of activities, which may include yoga, stretching and other wellness sessions. The emphasis is on creating a routine that feels easy to maintain – a morning class, an unhurried breakfast, a swim, then an afternoon treatment.
COMO Shambhala’s wellness offering also includes nutrition-led programmes and specialist experiences, although you don’t need to commit to a formal retreat to enjoy the benefits.
Phuket’s east coast rewards a slower itinerary
Cape Yamu gives you a different perspective on Phuket. The resort is well placed for boat trips across Phang Nga Bay, excursions to nearby islands and visits to Phuket Old Town, where Sino-Portuguese architecture, markets and local restaurants offer a change of pace from the coast.
Back at the resort, the infinity-edged pool keeps the focus on the water, while families can make use of Play by COMO and the dedicated Teens Room. That balance makes the property suitable for more than one kind of escape – whether you’re planning a restorative break, a celebration or several days with plenty of time to read beside the pool.
COMO Point Yamu is at its best when you leave room in the itinerary. Spend a morning on the water, return for lunch at La Sirena, book a treatment overlooking the bay and let dinner at Nahmyaa become the evening’s main event.
