With the four-day weekend looming around the<br />

Lunar New Year, many of us might be tempted<br />

to hop on a short flight for a brief sojourn to unwind.<br />

There has been a proliferation of hotel openings; even<br />

revamps and rebranding that one can really feel spoiled<br />

for choice. Since we have every finger on the travel<br />

pulse, we’ve done the work for you and checked out<br />

a good number of these chic but definitely not cheap<br />

hotels. Here are three of our top picks.<br />

COMO Point Yamu, Phuket<br />

Tucked away on the tip of the less touristy east<br />

coast of the peninsula of Cape Yamu; overlooking<br />

the panoramas of the green crystalline Phang Nga<br />

Bay, lies COMO Point Yamu – a breathtaking island<br />

resort owned by Christina Ong’s COMO Hotels and<br />

Resorts. Awashed in white with splashes of turquoise<br />

and cobalt-like rustic vista on a Greek island, the 79<br />

rooms, suites and 27 private villas in COMO Point<br />

Yamu are located on an island dotted with limestone<br />

cliffs propelled to international fame by the 1974<br />

James Bond Movie – The Man with the Golden Gun.
