Arrival
Overview
Your sustainable journey with COMO Point Yamu begins from the moment you arrive. We have meticulously designed our arrival area to blend distinctive aesthetics with energy-efficient features. Feel the warmth of our eco-friendly welcome as you step into a space that not only delights the senses, but also reflects our commitment to sustainability
Open air system
Our lobby experience embraces the natural breeze while conserving energy. The lobby is elevated to catch the refreshing winds, encircled by uniquely designed metal accents that offer both privacy and enhanced airflow. Low-seating décor ensures comfort without obstructing the gentle breezes, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the atmosphere to the fullest.
Renewable Energy Sources
Immerse yourself in the natural radiance of sunlight as it flows gracefully through our lobby and walkways, illuminating your journey without drawing on electrical power. In addition, we are introducing cutting-edge LED bulbs and eco-conscious lighting setups across our resort's communal areas and guest accommodations, ensuring your stay is not only brilliantly lit but also environmentally friendly.
ACROSS THE GARDEN
At COMO Point Yamu, we take pride in maximising our land use, creating vibrant spaces that foster biodiversity. From lush plantations to thriving farms, we're committed to nurturing environments where diverse flora and fauna can thrive in harmony.
Chef's Garden
The place where we grow herbs, vegetables and other ingredients for our culinary offering. We cultivate fresh and high quality produce that elevate the flavour and quality of the dish.
Worm Condo
Playing a vital role in our sustinable waste disposal, special types of worms were recruited and raised in a condo made from layers of soil. These worms digest waste collected from the kitchen, before naturally generating one of the best fertilisers in the world.
Green Gifts
Here we transform unused items into something truly special, taking potential waste and crafting one-of-a-kind souvenirs and thoughtful mementos for our guests. Join us in this creative endeavour and add a touch of uniqueness and sustinablity to every guest's experience.
IN THE KITCHEN
Waste Management
Sip your drinks guilt-free with our paper straws, and enjoy refreshing beverages from stainless steel or glass bottles. We're proud to use sustainable packaging for all hotel amenities, ensuring that every aspect of your stay contributes to a greener world.
Collaboration with suppliers
Immerse yourself in the flavours of the region with our locally sourced products, enhancing your experience while reducing carbon emissions. By supporting local producers, we minimise transportation needs for all our purchases, ensuring that each ingredient arrives at your table fresh, flavourful, and environmentally friendly.
Water Conservation Practices
We have enhanced your comfort while conserving precious resources with the implementation of low-flow faucets, toilets, and showerheads throughout our guest rooms and common areas. Experience the perfect balance of luxury and sustainability as you indulge in refreshing showers and convenient amenities, all while contributing to our commitment to water conservation
Empowering the local community
Experience the vibrant tapestry of local culture, traditions and people during your stay at our property. Here at COMO Point Yamu, we're dedicated to fostering a deep connection with the surrounding community – it’s our way of expressing gratitude for their integral role in our guests' unforgettable journeys.
Project with local school
We have worked with Paklok Community School to develop our passionfruit farm and the recently-opened mushroom house. These projects allow students to learn the skills required to manage their own farm, as well as to support themselves financially by earning money for their efforts.
Donation
Used items collected from the operation are often donated to the local community. Single-use sandals and cloths can be donated so they can be fully utilised before being sent to landfill.
Beach Clean Up and Mangrove Plantation
Once a quarter, we initiate our own beach cleaning event at the nearby pier and surrounding village. This helps prevent a large amount of waste from entering the sea, enriching the life cycle of the marine animals in our oceans.
