Como Point Yamu

At Cape Yamu above the Phang Nga Bay, Como Point Yamu occupies a hillside position with views across the extraordinary seascape of limestone karst islands that defines the bay — one of the most distinctively beautiful coastal landscapes in Southeast Asia and the setting for the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, whose visual legacy continues to shape how the bay is understood internationally. The 79 rooms, suites, and villas are designed by Paola Navone with a palette of warm Italian-tropical minimalism — natural materials, white walls, dark wood — and the pool facilities and sea-facing terraces are positioned to maximise engagement with the bay’s karst panorama from each accommodation level. The Como Shambhala wellness programme provides its integrated approach to nutrition and holistic treatment in a setting whose natural character gives the wellness objectives their clearest physical context.

Sea kayaking through the karst formations of Phang Nga Bay, diving on the diverse reef systems of the Andaman Sea, and boat excursions to the James Bond Island, the Hong Island cave lagoons, and the sea caves of the outer bay are among the primary activities. The restaurant Ristr8to serves Italian-influenced cuisine drawing on the fresh seafood of the Andaman coast and the tropical produce of Phuket’s agricultural hinterland. The Como Shambhala cuisine programme provides the nutritional framework that guests on an extended wellness programme use to structure their dietary choices alongside the treatment schedule. The Saturday night market at Naka, the old Phuket Town’s Sino-Portuguese architecture, and the temples of the northern islands provide cultural context beyond the bay’s natural attractions.

Como Point Yamu’s relationship with the Phang Nga Bay environment reflects the Como group’s environmental standards applied to a sea and karst landscape of considerable ecological and geological significance, with responsible boating practices and the protection of the bay’s mangrove systems as priorities in the hotel’s environmental management framework.
