At The RESORT
COMO Point Yamu is best known for its endless views of the sea, but the sea views are only part of the attractions at the resort. Guests who stay at COMO Point Yamu are treated to a world where wellness and peace of mind are at the top of mind.
From the floating breakfast in the in-villa pools to the engaging group yoga sessions at the wellness facility, COMO Point Yamu aims to give guests a place to truly relax and let the troubles of the world melt away. Fine dining, family facilities, and unique Phuket adventures round out the experience for guests at the resort.
Like the edges of an infinity pool blending into the horizon, the COMO Point Yamu experience is meant to be seamless and at one with the wonders of Phuket.
Rooms
When you think about “a room with a view,” the rooms at COMO Point Yamu easily come to mind. Only a few rooms do not have views of the sea, and the beautiful vistas are complimented by the ocean-inspired interior design of Paola Navone, who also accented the décor with references to Phuket’s own Peranakan heritage.
The most coveted luxurious accommodations are the ones with their own private infinity pools, from the Phang Nga Pool Rooms and Pool Suites with their own ocean view to the 27 private villas on the property. Each infinity pool provides a near-edgeless view of the horizon, where the pool almost merges with the waters of the ocean beyond it.
Among the 4 types of suites is the COMO Suite, which not only comes with its own pool but its own living area. This suite has two bedrooms with their own ensuite bathrooms and SleepHub technology, plus an epic view of the Andaman Sea.
Meanwhile, the pool villas come in a range of sizes and levels of luxury. Regular villas can range from one-bedroom villas for couples to three-bedroom properties that can hold groups of up to 8 guests including up to 2 children. All of these villas come with private infinity pools and breathtaking sea views, the better to enjoy a floating breakfast after a morning swim.
The Point Yamu Pool Villa has three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and can accommodate up to 8 guests including 2 children. Like the other three-bedroom pool villas, this villa has two levels with two living areas. A fully-equipped kitchen lets guests enjoy home-cooked meals, while the pool deck overlooks the blue water in the horizon.
Finally, the COMO Pool Villa stands out from the other villas with its panoramic sea view, large infinity pool, and private terrace area. This two-level villa has an expansive living and dining area as well as four plush bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, which can also accommodate up to 8 guests including 2 children.
Facilities
The facilities at COMO Point Yamu provide an all-inclusive resort experience that almost makes guests want to stay at the resort exclusively during their stay in Phuket. From the sea view and board games in the lobby lounge to the in-room yoga programming, every feature of COMO Point Yamu is meant to be enjoyed by guests.
The signature feature of COMO Point Yamu is the COMO Shambhala spa and gym, which offers numerous treatments and wellness programs for all guests, including programs for kids and teens. The emphasis on holistic wellness and personal growth at COMO Shambhala serves to provide guests with a whole new perspective on health, nutrition, and self-care.
Kids and teens also get their own facilities within the resort. The resort has a special lounge and game room where teens can hang out and spend their time getting to know other guests in their age range. This lounge has facilities for darts and billiards, but mostly it’s a great place for teens to enjoy relaxation on their own terms.
On the other hand, the Play by COMO program lets kids explore their creativity through guided activities. As the name itself states, the program is meant to facilitate discovery through purposeful and creative play. The activities are held in a dedicated space for kids that also contains games, books, art supplies, and toys.
For fine-dining enthusiasts, the resort’s two restaurants are among the best restaurants within the eastern coast of Phuket. Nahmyaa represents adventurous takes on southern Thai cuisine, while La Sirena serves the best of traditional and modern Italian specialties.
In addition, the Aqua Bar serves up cocktails and light snacks at poolside throughout the day. The bar’s unique island is decorated with a metal-box installation by father-and-daughter artists Patrick and Benedicte Bailly, and the tropical-inspired cocktail menu incorporates ecoSPIRITS produced with reduced single-use glass waste.
Guests who are interested in holding special events at the resort would also be pleased to know that the resort has its own event venues, including a cliffside lawn with a stunning ocean view for weddings and formal outdoor gatherings. The lobby lounge is also a viable option for informal gatherings and cocktail parties of up to 40 people.
A private dining room with a marble table and a view of the tropical garden provides a space for intimate dinners, while two meeting rooms can be combined into one to accommodate workshops of more than 100 people. Taken together, the three meeting rooms are the perfect venues for power lunches, workshops, and other gatherings.
In addition to the dedicated event venues, the resort also allows guests to hold gatherings at the pool villas, which suit conference groups of up to 24 delegates. Since the villas have expansive living and dining areas, the layouts can be customized to fit the requirements of each gathering.
Services
Many services for guests can be arranged through concierge services at COMO Point Yamu. These include participation in the Play by COMO program as well as childcare and kids’ amenities. Concierge services can also assist in booking airport transport, in-resort Thai language classes and Muay Thai lessons, among other experiences
Concierge services can even provide guests with both packaged and bespoke tours outside the resort that are simply unique to Phuket. Among the experience packages provided by the resort concierge are private boat charters, beach getaways on secluded islands, and hikes through trails and rainforests.
As part of the resort’s commitment to wellness, each room also comes with its own yoga mat as well as a special TV channel for yoga and wellness lessons. The in-room wellness programs also lets guests pursue their fitness goals in private.
Special events at COMO Point Yamu also require special assistance, which is why the resort also provides guests with event planners to help them organize the event of their dreams. Most of the weddings at the resort are intimate, but a whole resort buyout for up to 200 guests is also available for larger events.

Considering the abundant sea views at the resort, the ambience at COMO Point Yamu is so peaceful and welcoming that guests can almost be tempted into not wanting to leave at all. Indeed, the extensive facilities of the resort are more than enough to keep even the most discerning guests satisfied with the impeccable service of the staff.
