Picolo recommends · Hotel in Phuket, Thailand
COMO Point Yamu
A long blue pool on a headland facing Phang Nga Bay, where jagged limestone islands rise straight out of the water.
Look out from the pool and the horizon is full of limestone towers, steep green islands rising from Phang Nga Bay. COMO Point Yamu sits on a point on Phuket's quieter east coast, facing away from the beach crowds.
The look is modern, with flashes of bright Thai colour. The hotel has its own jetty, so boat trips out among the islands start right at the bottom of the property, with no need to join the crowds at a busy public pier.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose COMO Point Yamu
Choose COMO Point Yamu if the bay is the reason you came. Few hotels on Phuket make it this simple to get out among the islands, and the old town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouses, is close by.
There is no beach at the door. The sandy west coast is roughly half an hour away by car, so if long days on the beach are the plan, a hotel on the Andaman side will suit you better.
What you get
- Long blue pool with bay views
