Cape Yamu | Luxury Villa Rentals in Phuket

Our Cape Yamu portfolio includes four- to six-bedroom oceanfront and ocean-view villas sleeping 8 to 12 guests, most designed in contemporary Thai architecture with infinity pools oriented toward Phang Nga Bay. The kayak and long-tail boat trips departing from the cape's small beach give villa guests direct access to the karst formations — James Bond Island is 45 minutes by boat. Phuket Town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouse architecture, night markets, and Sunday Walking Street, is 20 minutes south. The west coast's beach clubs at Surin and Kamala are 30-40 minutes by car. Compared to west-coast villa areas, Cape Yamu sacrifices beach-club proximity for a view and natural setting that west Phuket addresses simply cannot offer.

Cape Yamu is Phuket’s most exclusive gated enclave — a headland on the island’s quieter east coast, looking out over the extraordinary limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. It is a very different Phuket from the west-coast beach strips: architect-designed estates, sweeping bay views, and a deep sense of privacy. Our villas here are among the most striking in Thailand, contemporary homes with dramatic infinity pools, wide terraces, and full staff, several designed by internationally known architects, all framing the bay and its islands. What draws people to Cape Yamu is the view and the water access rather than the beach. The bay here is calm and sheltered, and the karst islands that make Phang Nga famous rise directly from the horizon; boats leave from the nearby marina for James Bond Island, Hong Island, and the hidden lagoons, so the bay becomes an extension of the villa. It is worth being clear that this is a scenic, boating, and sunrise coast rather than a swimming beach — the west-coast beaches at Kamala, Surin, and Bang Tao are around forty minutes away by road for a classic sand day. The villas suit families, groups of friends, and celebrations who want architectural drama, seclusion, and easy access to the bay — four- to nine-bedroom estates with private chefs, villa managers, housekeeping, and concierge planning, with the gated setting adding security and calm. Phuket International Airport is around thirty minutes away. Mornings here belong to the sunrise over the bay, and the gated, low-density layout means the enclave stays hushed even in high season — a genuine contrast to the busier west coast. Share your dates, group size, and whether you want a headland estate with panoramic bay views or a home close to the marina, and we’ll send a curated shortlist of Cape Yamu villas, booked direct with no platform fees.

Cape Yamu is Phuket's east-coast headland directly facing Phang Nga Bay's karst scenery, anchored by Como Point Yamu resort and offering Andaman Sea panoramas unavailable from any west-coast villa. It is quieter than Kamala, more dramatic than Rawai, and distinctly positioned for guests who prioritise the bay view and karst boat-trip access over beach-club proximity.

We manage curated Phang Nga Bay-view villas at Cape Yamu sleeping 8 to 12 guests with private infinity pools. Our concierge team arranges Phuket Airport transfers, James Bond Island boat tours, Como Point Yamu spa bookings, and private chef services.
