COMO Point Yamu
Phuket, Thailand
Vibe
Open-air pavilions hover over Phang Nga Bay, where cobalt blue accents, soaring columns, and Andaman sea breezes set a tranquil tone.
“Minimalist Cape Yamu perch”
Paola Navone pairs bright aquamarine and white palettes with lobster-trap wicker pendants and Peranakan-inspired floor tiles.
The COMO Shambhala Retreat features eight treatment suites, traditional Thai massage alcoves, hydrotherapy pools, and dedicated cleanse menus.
Dedicated villa butlers, poolside fruit icy poles, and evening turndown enhance the secluded clifftop stay.
At the tip of Cape Yamu peninsula, overlooking Phang Nga Bay and the Andaman Sea.
“The architecture is modernist, boxy, and might come off slightly cold if not for the interior design… the effect, in its entirety, is inspired.”
Rooms
Bedrooms combine northern Thai timber and artisan ceramics, framing views of dramatic limestone karsts through full-height glass walls.
“The decor, by noted designer Paola Navone, is simple and open, and the 106 modern, airy rooms, suites, and villas…”
Wellness
A 100-metre infinity pool gazes over Phang Nga Bay, paired with hydrotherapy pools, saunas, and traditional Thai massage alcoves.
“For the interiors, designer Paola Navone has blended her eclectic style and love of local materials with the group's pared-back minimalism.”
Backstory
Interiors draw on Thai craft traditions, transforming woven lobster traps into sculptural light pendants alongside palettes borrowed from Buddhist monk robes.
Eat & drink
Nahmyaa dishes up fiery southern Thai recipes beneath woven pendants, while bayside terrace La Sirena serves wood-fired Italian classics.
The neighborhood
Perched at the secluded tip of Cape Yamu, the resort looks across Phang Nga Bay just twenty minutes from Phuket Old Town.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
