Set high above the Andaman Sea on Phuket’s serene and ultra exclusive Cape Yamu, the COMO Point Yamu was the undeniable highlight of an already magical Thailand holiday, an island retreat that manages to feel both deeply tranquil and quietly exhilarating. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is no ordinary resort. The setting alone is breathtaking, with cinematic 360-degree water views that stretch endlessly across Phang Nga Bay, wrapping the property in a constant embrace of shimmering blues and endless panoramic vistas. No matter where you are on the property… poolside, dining, or relaxing in your room… the glistening sea is always part of the story, leaving you with a sense of wonder that lingers long after you’ve left, a memory of beauty and serenity that will stay with you forever and constantly take up real estate in your mind.
A stay at the COMO Point Yamu quite literally makes you feel on top of the world. From its elevated clifftop setting, the views stretch endlessly across the bat, with tall, jagged limestone cliffs rising from the turquoise waters below, which make the scenery so unique and breathtaking. There’s a powerful sense of calm and perspective that comes with being so beautifully removed… where mornings begin above the clouds and every sunset feels expansive, cinematic, and deeply grounding.
The resort’s design is modern, refined, and intentionally understated, allowing the natural beauty of Phuket to take center stage. Spacious, light-filled rooms feel like private sanctuaries, thoughtfully designed with clean lines, calming tones, and expansive terraces that invite you to linger just a little longer. Waking up to the gentle glow of sunrise over the water or watching the sky melt into sunset hues from your own balcony is the kind of everyday luxury that never loses its magic. Every room at the COMO Point Yamu is a design marvel, featuring ultra-cool bathrooms and striking light fixtures that balance elegance with a playful sense of modernity. No matter where you stay, each room offers uninterrupted views of the sparkling Andaman Sea and striking islands jutting out of the water in the distance, ensuring that the water is always part of your experience. For those in suites and villas, the indulgence reaches another level, with private infinity pools that seem to spill directly into the horizon, creating a sense of floating above the bay and offering the ultimate in luxury, privacy, and serene escape.

Dining on premises at the COMO Point Yamu is an experience unto itself. La Sirena is unforgettable… an elevated Mediterranean-inspired dining destination that feels perfectly at home against its dramatic ocean backdrop. Long, leisurely dinners unfold with impeccably executed dishes, fresh ingredients, and flavors that rival top restaurants anywhere in the world. As the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere becomes pure magic, making every dinner feel like an occasion. Mornings are equally memorable, with an expansive breakfast offering at La Sirena that makes each day something to wake up to. From fresh tropical fruits and artisanal pastries to made-to-order eggs and inventive international dishes (I’m still dreaming about the noodle soup and shakshuka dishes), every breakfast is a feast for the senses, setting the perfect tone for a day of exploration, relaxation, or poolside serenity.
Beyond the serenity of COMO Point Yamu, Phuket’s dynamic dining scene further cements the island as a must-visit for food lovers, offering a compelling mix of elevated global cuisine and refined Thai classics. A standout is L’Arome by the Sea, where modern French fine dining meets one of the most dramatic cliffside settings in Phuket. With panoramic ocean views and beautifully composed tasting menus, each meal feels both artistic and indulgent, an unforgettable evening where cuisine and scenery are equally impressive.
For a more contemporary take on Thai flavors, Suay Restaurant delivers a vibrant, modern dining experience that reimagines traditional dishes with creativity and finesse. Bold flavors, polished presentations, and an energetic yet intimate atmosphere make it a favorite for those seeking something distinctly Thai with a fresh, upscale, modern twist.
A visit to Phuket would be incomplete without experiencing the storied elegance of Blue Elephant, housed in a historic Sino-Portuguese mansion. Here, royal Thai cuisine takes center stage, offering beautifully executed classics steeped in history and tradition. Dining at Blue Elephant is as much a cultural experience as it is a culinary one, providing a deeper appreciation for Thailand’s rich gastronomic heritage in the most peaceful, lovely setting.
Just as memorable was a meal at Ta Khai at Rosewood Phuket, a destination made even more iconic by its connection to the famed The White Lotus. Set within a lush garden overlooking the sea, Ta Khai offers elevated Southern Thai cuisine with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and time-honored cooking techniques. Rustic yet refined, the restaurant delivers soulful dishes in a setting that feels effortlessly authentic and undeniably special.
Together, these off-property dining experiences perfectly complement a stay at COMO Point Yamu, showcasing Phuket’s impressive culinary depth and making every meal, on or off premise, part of the journey.
Wellness is at the heart of the COMO experience, and the resort’s beautifully appointed spa is a sanctuary in every sense. Designed as a peaceful escape from the world, the spa offers an exceptional menu of treatments rooted in COMO Shambhala philosophy, blending Eastern traditions with modern techniques. From deeply restorative massages to holistic body therapies and rejuvenating facials (and dare I forget to include a famed Thai massage?!), each service is delivered with extraordinary care and precision. It’s the kind of spa experience that leaves you feeling not just relaxed, but truly renewed – mind, body, and spirit.
ays at COMO Point Yamu naturally revolve around the resort’s not one, but three striking infinity pools, where time seems to slow to the rhythm of the sea below. Each pool is perfectly positioned to maximize the breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of Phang Nga Bay, making every angle a view to savor. Whether floating beneath a cloudless sky, enjoying a quiet moment with a book, or sipping a freshly prepared juice or hand-crafted cocktail, the pools offer some of the most mesmerizing views in Phuket (and most Instagrammable images) and create a sense of weightless serenity as the sparkling Andaman Sea stretches endlessly to the horizon.
What made our stay even more extraordinary was the rare and unique opportunity to experience both sunrise and sunset at the resort. Each moment, even those greeted with clouds or soft mist, felt magical in its own way, painting the sky with ever-changing colors and moods. It allowed our family to savor the full beauty of the resort, from its lush gardens and sparkling pools to its sweeping vistas, making every hour a chance to create unforgettable family memories together.
Families are very well cared for at the COMO Point Yamu, thanks to the incredible kids’ club, a standout feature that makes this property a rare luxury resort that truly caters to all ages and generations. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully run, the kids’ club offers creative activities, cultural experiences, and engaging programming that allows younger guests to thrive while parents enjoy moments of well-earned relaxation. During our stay, some of our favorite activities included decorating brownies, pizza making, and participating in holiday-themed arts and crafts, projects that our children were thrilled to take home and will treasure for years to come. It’s a place where children feel inspired and entertained, and parents feel confident they’re in the very best hands, all while creating memories that the whole family will cherish long after leaving the resort.
While the children were thoughtfully cared for and delightfully entertained, the resort’s extensive schedule of on-site experiences ensured every guest found their bliss, whether flowing through restorative yoga amid breathtaking panoramic vistas, practicing Tai Chi, enjoying spirited lawn games, or strolling along the beach via a guided beach walk. The hotel is a sanctuary equally perfect for those who savor leisurely indulgence by the pool and those who crave more invigorating activity (or both!).
