"On Phuket’s sunrise-facing east coast, where notable hotels are scarce, this wellness-focused property at the tip of Cape Yamu stands out as arguably one of the best hotels in all of Thailand. The straight-lined architecture is softened with Thai touches such as beautiful Buddhist artworks and a dash of Mediterranean flair from Italian designer Paola Navone. Rooms are sleek and bright in crisp whites and electric blues, with fabulous views over Phang Nga Bay. There’s no direct beach access, but COMO’s swish beach club on a semi-private islet about 20 minutes away more than compensates, as does the showpiece 330-foot pool that stretches along the property and anchors much of the lounging life here." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
"From the outside, COMO Point Yamu's architecture appears almost brutalist, seemingly too gray and severe to suit the curvaceous coastal location. But follow Asia's coolest crowd inside, and you'll find the hotel is as light and airy as a birdcage; columns of concrete chop the Phuketian sunshine into shards; razor-sharp lines frame a luminous green bay wrapped in rippling limestone hills; a 100-meter-long white-tiled swimming pool shoots out towards the Andaman Sea. It's these good looks, along with tip-top service, zingy cuisine, and a wondrous spa, that have made this hotel a favorite with LGBTQ+ Thais and travelers." - Chris Schalkx, Lee Cobaj
"A premium resort property known for elevated service and dramatic coastal views, recommended for upscale stays with wellness and dining offerings." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"High above Phang Nga Bay, Como’s property has a near-panoramic vista of the glittering waters below. But the real beauty here is that there isn’t much to do beyond taking a dip in the phenomenal infinity pool, followed by a nap. The decor, by noted designer Paola Navone, is simple and open, and the 106 modern, airy rooms, suites, and villas are decorated in a palette of whites and deep blues. Our two favorite indulgences were the spa and, no joke, the laundry service. Is there anything better than getting your clothes back impeccably folded into beautiful rattan boxes? It’s details like these that elevate this property from just another hotel with a view into something more memorable." - Nancy Jo Iacoi
