COMO Point Yamu: Paola Navone designed clifftop sanctuary on Cape Yamu with 100m infinity pool, Nahmyaa southern Thai, and spa

Perched dramatically at the very tip of Cape Yamu on the peaceful eastern coast of Phuket, Thailand, overlooking the spectacular limestone karsts of UNESCO-protected Phang Nga Bay and the azure Andaman Sea, COMO Point Yamu opened as a contemporary architectural triumph. Master-designed by celebrated Italian designer Paola Navone, the 106-room and private villa sanctuary blends bright aquamarine and orange accents with local Thai artisanal woodwork, woven bamboo, and Sino-Portuguese tiles. Featuring the acclaimed southern Thai restaurant Nahmyaa, the Italian dining room La Sirena, a 100-metre outdoor infinity swimming pool framing Phang Nga Bay, and the holistic COMO Shambhala Retreat, this property is Phuket’s premier clifftop design haven.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished high-altitude Andaman coastal serenity: personal hosts greet guests beneath soaring white timber columns beside reflection pools with chilled butterfly pea tea, cold scented towels, and 360-degree panoramas of the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Phuket marine, wellness, and cultural pursuits: taking private boat excursions to Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island directly from Yamu pier, cruising to the private COMO Beach Club on secluded Naka Yai Island (20 minutes by private boat), swimming laps in the 100-metre infinity pool, indulging in holistic therapies at COMO Shambhala Retreat, taking Thai cooking classes, and reserving dinner at Nahmyaa.

Sanctuary living balances marine exploration with sublime Asian wellness: the COMO Shambhala Retreat features eight private treatment suites, steam rooms, saunas, hydrotherapy vitality pools, and therapies utilizing organic Thai herbs, coconut oil, and Asian healing rituals. Dining is extraordinary: fiery southern Thai street-food gastronomy at Nahmyaa (featuring blue crab curry, massaman lamb, and fine wines), Italian wood-fired pizzas and fresh seafood at La Sirena, healthy organic COMO Shambhala Cuisine, and cocktails at the Aqua Bar.

Accommodations comprise 106 rooms, suites, and private pool villas designed by Paola Navone ranging from 45 to 450 square metres. Each residence features floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing Phang Nga Bay, private sun decks, plush king beds with custom linens, and circular turquoise mosaic bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs.

Design purists, wellness devotees, and luxury travelers seeking Cape Yamu seclusion, 100-metre infinity pool drama, and Paola Navone design in Phuket should book COMO Point Yamu without hesitation. Travelers seeking crowded tourist party beaches in Patong should look elsewhere.
