A hidden jewel in Phuket for planners

It is called, simply, the Private Dining Room. You wouldn’t think twice about it as a result, but don’t let its nondescript name fool you.

One look at this 72m2 venue at Point Yamu by Como, Phuket, gives you visions of a party in a dreamy place. An imposing, visually attractive burnt-orange door, whose handle is an oversized bronze Buddha hand, hints of the beauty one can expect inside. It does not disappoint.

Inside, a long white marble table is positioned underneath three white glass chandeliers. The polished marble floor and handcut mosaic wall tiles reflect the shimmering glow of candles during evening events. Created by Italian designer Paola Navone, it’s a hidden secret in Phuket on where to hold an exclusive event for 20 pax. Pair it with healthy Como Shambala Cuisine – always a choice at all Como hotels – and you are on your way to having an event as pure as the whiteness of the room.

On a recent visit, we can vouch that the health cuisine here is actually delicious. The resort’s chefs can also work with event organisers on bespoke menus for each occasion.

Point Yamu has three other meeting rooms which combined can accommodate 80 pax for a banquet, and a courtyard for 150 pax with unbelievable views of Phang Nga Bay.  For a larger group, its Italian restaurant La Sirena, which overlooks a 100m pool and from where the bay never looks more beautiful, is a stellar choice. It seats 120 pax.

The ultimate option is to book the entire resort, which has 79 rooms and suites and 27 private villas, all with sea views.

The resort can also arrange group activities, teambuilding programmes, island cruises and corporate golfing.
