COMO Point Yamu

It might be beautifully decorated but don't making the mistake of thinking this hotel is just a pretty face. Wellness-seekers will be in heaven as they succumb to the skilled hands of the massage therapist in a room overlooking the Andaman sea, a place that will convert even those rare spa haters... Foodies won't find themselves missing out either with two restaurants, a bar AND a beach club to cater to every need. Seek out southern Thai classics at Nahmyaa or indulge your inner Italian at La Sirena.

There are 79 rooms and suites, quite a lot for a boutique hotel, but the attention to detail is perfect in every single one. Modern white decor is punctured with bright splashes of blues and greens - you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in a five-star hotel along the Italian Riviera. Those looking for extra space should consider a suite, all of which have sweeping terraces, perfect for sun-lovers.

The hotel is a taxi ride from the nearest town, but there's plenty to keep even the busiest bees occupied in the vicinity. Everything from morning yoga and deep sea fishing, to flower arranging and cookery lessons can be arranged at a moment's notice. Adrenaline junkies have a plethora of water sports to choose from, whilst laid-back lizards can get their thrills in that blissful spa.
