From the lush mountainous terrain to the edges of sparkling beaches, Phuket is home to some of the world’s most beautiful infinity pools that not only offer a refreshing plunge but also 360-degree views that will take your breath away.
At these stunning spots, you can immerse yourself as Thailand’s warm tropical breeze rustles the palm fronds nearby and gaze out as the azure Andaman Sea melts into the horizon.
Dip your toes into the mesmerizing allure of the island’s finest infinity pools – the epitome of luxury, style and scenic beauty. The only question is: which will you dive into first?
COMO Point Yamu
Perched on the tip of Cape Yamu, COMO Point Yamu offers an idyllic retreat on Phuket’s east coast. Its headline act is a 100-metre long infinity pool with three different depths.
It’s as perfect for serious swimmers as it is for those who just want to take a refreshing dip in the afternoon heat while enjoying a cool beverage from the nearby bar.
Sleek and expansive, the pool appears to merge seamlessly with the calm Phang Nga Bay beyond. Spacious, plush sun loungers line the pool, providing prime spots to soak up the sun or relax in the shade.
Inside the resort, it’s just as appealing. Italian designer Paola Navone has created an interior that is both contemporary and connected to Thai culture. The bold use of aquamarine reflects the surrounding sea, while vibrant burnt oranges echo the local Buddhist robes.
Touches of Phuket’s Peranakan heritage give COMO Point Yamu a distinctly local feel, and the infinity pool experience is nothing short of unforgettable – not to mention the ideal spot to watch the sunset.
