Key facts about COMO Point Yamu

COMO Point Yamu has 106 rooms, suites and villas across eleven categories on a private headland on Phuket's east coast. Every room, suite and villa looks out over Phang Nga Bay or the Andaman Sea, and 27 of them have a private pool.

Overview of COMO Point Yamu

COMO Point Yamu sits at the tip of Cape Yamu, a headland on the east coast of Phuket. Every room, suite and villa faces the water, across Phang Nga Bay towards its limestone islands and the Andaman Sea beyond.

The resort was designed by the Italian designer Paola Navone, who drew on the ceramics, textiles and colour of Phuket's Sino-Portuguese heritage. Deep blues and turquoises run through the interiors against white stone and dark timber.

The east coast is the lesser-known side of Phuket. There are no high-rise strips and no nightlife district. What there is instead is the bay, the marina, and the island-studded water that most visitors to the west coast never see at close quarters. Patong, Kata and Karon are 40 to 55 minutes away by road for guests who want them.

Who COMO Point Yamu is best for

COMO Point Yamu is best suited to couples, families, wellness travellers, multi-generational groups and guests who want a quiet side of Phuket with direct access to Phang Nga Bay. It suits travellers who want a headland resort with views and privacy, rather than a beach strip or a town hotel.

Every category faces the water. The Phang Nga Pool Suites, from 123 sq m, have a private pool, an expansive indoor living space, a large deck and an outdoor lounge area.
