COMO Point Yamu Phuket

The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
COMO Point Yamu occupies a dramatic headland on Phuket's quiet east coast, looking out across Phang Nga Bay toward the limestone karst islands and distant Yao Noi. Designed by Paola Navone with a distinctly Mediterranean-Thai aesthetic — white arches, terracotta tiles, and open-air loggias — it is one of Phuket's most architecturally distinctive properties. The COMO Shambhala wellness program sets the resort apart from its peers, delivering genuinely therapeutic spa and nutrition programs rather than the generic spa menu found at most luxury resorts. For wellness-minded honeymooners, this is the finest choice in Phuket.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
Book a Pool Suite for the private infinity pool and panoramic views over Phang Nga Bay — the COMO Point Yamu views are arguably the finest of any Phuket resort, looking east across the limestone karst seascape rather than west over the busier Andaman coast. The Pool Villas offer the ultimate privacy with a larger living space, private pool, and dedicated butler.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival & Bay Views
Drive 35 minutes from Phuket Airport to the east coast headland where COMO Point Yamu sits in elegant isolation. Check in and step onto your room's terrace to take in the extraordinary views of Phang Nga Bay — the limestone karst towers in the middle distance with the setting sun reflecting off the calm bay water below. Dinner at the COMO Cuisine restaurant, where the health-conscious Thai and Asian menu is genuinely delicious rather than just virtuous.
COMO Shambhala Spa
Book the COMO Shambhala Couture Signature Experience for couples — a curated treatment sequence that may incorporate Ayurvedic techniques, Thai massage, and customized aromatherapy based on your individual health and wellness goals. The COMO Shambhala philosophy is one of integrative wellness rather than indulgence alone, and the practitioners are among the most skilled in Asia.
Phang Nga Bay Kayaking & Exploration
The east coast location makes COMO Point Yamu uniquely positioned for Phang Nga Bay exploration — sea kayaks are available and the bay is accessible directly from the hotel's pier. Take a half-day guided kayak tour through mangroves and sea caves, or charter a longtail boat for a private island-hopping expedition to James Bond Island and the floating village of Ko Panyi.
Phuket Old Town Cultural Day
Drive 30 minutes to Phuket Old Town for a half-day of cultural immersion — the Sino-Portuguese architecture, street art murals, shrines, and excellent local restaurants make it one of southern Thailand's most rewarding urban experiences. Stop at the Phuket Thai Hua Museum, browse Thalang Road's galleries, and lunch at Raya Restaurant for the definitive Phuket-style curry noodle soup.
Yoga Retreat & Private Pool Day
Dedicate the morning to a private couples' yoga session with the COMO wellness instructor — the open-air yoga pavilion overlooking Phang Nga Bay is one of the most beautiful settings for practice in all of Southeast Asia. Spend the afternoon in complete indulgence: your villa pool, room service, napping in hammocks, reading. Book a sound healing session in the late afternoon as the sun lowers over the karsts.
Racha Island Snorkel & Italian Dinner
Book the hotel's speedboat for a morning excursion to Racha Yai Island — excellent snorkeling with high visibility and abundant marine life, roughly 30 minutes from the hotel's pier. Return for lunch by the infinity pool, then enjoy a long, leisurely Italian dinner at Ristra restaurant, which serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and imported Italian wine in a romantic open-air setting.
Farewell Morning
Rise early for one final sunrise yoga session or simply sit quietly on your terrace as the Phang Nga Bay karsts emerge from morning mist. Have breakfast at your private pace in the room, and cherish the extraordinary view one last time before the drive back to Phuket Airport.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
COMO Point Yamu is on Phuket's east coast, which does not have the white sand beach experience of the west coast Andaman resorts — the hotel's beach is more mudflat than sand at low tide and is better for launching water activities than sunbathing.
The wellness-forward dining philosophy is a feature for health-conscious couples but may feel limiting for those expecting a full luxury dining menu with rich French or Thai cuisine.
The east coast location means the main Phuket beach experience (Patong, Surin, Kata) requires a 30–45 minute drive — this is a better base for Phang Nga Bay activities than beach holidays.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is COMO Point Yamu good for honeymooners?
Excellent for wellness-focused couples. The COMO Shambhala program's integrative approach to spa and nutrition, combined with the extraordinary Phang Nga Bay views, architecturally distinctive design, and exceptional personalized service, creates one of Phuket's most distinctive honeymoon experiences. It is particularly suited to couples who want a healthy, restorative getaway rather than pure beach indulgence.
What is the best time to visit?
November through April is the dry season for this part of Thailand, with excellent conditions for boat excursions and the best weather for the Phang Nga Bay setting. The east coast of Phuket is slightly more sheltered from the southwest monsoon than the west coast, meaning the resort can remain pleasant even in shoulder months.
Is the beach at COMO Point Yamu good for swimming?
Honestly, not ideal — the east coast location means the beach is more suitable for launching sea kayaks and water activities than for classic swimming and sunbathing. The hotel has a stunning infinity pool that more than compensates, and the bay views from the pool are remarkable. For a proper beach day, the hotel can arrange transport to the west coast beaches.
What should we book in advance?
Pool Villas and Suites with the best bay views fill early during high season — book 3+ months ahead. COMO Shambhala Spa treatment slots should be reserved before arrival. Private boat excursions to Phang Nga Bay and Racha Island should be arranged with the hotel's activities team at least a week ahead.
Is it adults-only?
No, COMO Point Yamu is not adults-only. The resort's sophisticated wellness focus and relatively remote east-coast location means it attracts predominantly couples and adults seeking a refined, healthy escape. Families with young children are rare guests.
How do we get there?
Fly into Phuket International Airport (HKT). The hotel is approximately 35 minutes by private car on the east side of the island, accessible via the main highway through Phuket Town. The hotel arranges private transfers. Note that the east coast location means a somewhat different geography from most Phuket resorts — Phang Nga Bay is your backyard rather than the open Andaman.
