COMO POINT YAMU

Behind a brutalist exterior lies a light-filled design haven.

Razor-sharp lines frame views of Phuket’s east coast; a

white-tiled swimming pool overlooks Phang Nga Bay; and

sugar cube-like rooms feature textured walls, Portuguese

floor tiles and pops of aquamarine or cobalt blue. The

restaurants are equally stylish — Nahmyaa was given a

Michelin Plate for its southern Thai dishes, and there’s

also a private beach club on a nearby island, which more

than makes up for the hotel’s own lack of golden sands.
