PREFERRED HOTELS
Soneva Kiri is located on the remote but accessible island of Koh Kood in the northeast area of the Gulf of Thailand as well as the first resort of its destination. Known for pioneering what it calls ‘barefoot luxury’ as its sister resorts in Maldives, the arrival of the Soneva Kiri resort has opened up the untamed island of Koh Kood potential to the luxury traveller because of its beauty and rustic. The journey to Soneva Kiri is by light aircraft from Bangkok to a neighbouring island, and then by speedboat to the arrival pier where your desert island experience begins.
The resort was developed using the principles of ecologically sustainable design with 36 environmentally friendly villas overlooking
the Gulf. Each villa has a spacious living area and sun-soaked decking, leading tranquil water features and private infinity pool. Every room category comes with personal butler service, and several villas also feature private spa suites. Dining options offer organic gourmet experiences that can be sampled in a treetop restaurant, on the moonlit beach or in the privacy of your villa. The spa village provides the ultimate treat for the senses. Exclusive boutique shops, a PADI dive centre, watersports, fitness trails and fishing tours are all on hand for the more active. Exploring the island, you will find natural wonders, including picturesque waterfalls and Koh Rok Marine Park and laidback villages where you can feed on freshly caught barbecued seafood.
