Soneva Kiri, environmentally friendly luxury

Far from the frenzy of the continent, Soneva Kiri is found in the Gulf of Siam on the island of Koh Kood, the fourth largest in Thailand but the least populated. Surrounded by luxuriant tropical vegetation of intense colours and gleaming white beaches, and nestled among palm trees and crystal-clear water, the Resort is elegantly integrated into the landscape, cleverly blending in with the incredible natural beauty of the place. Soneva Kiri exemplifies the concept of “intelligent luxury” that inspires the Soneva brand. Accessible by private plane with a flight of 80 minutes from Dong Muang Airport of Bangkok, the Resort, instead, seems like it is a million miles from the real world. The sense of tranquillity of this secluded place and its perfect harmony with nature are unrivalled. Well off the usual beaten track of tourists, here you can enjoy the authenticity of the Thailand of long ago. The 29 villas and 8 private residences, which are located on the beach or on the gently slopes of the rain forest and overlooking the splendid sea, have all been built according to the principles of environmentally friendly design using selected local and natural raw materials. The rooms guarantee complete privacy and all the comfort and luxury of a 5-star hotel, and are among the most spacious of south-east Asia. They are equipped with large infinity pools and generous areas for reading, relaxing, sunbathing and watching the sea. Some villas have private spa areas and each has a dedicated butler. Each villa has an electric cart to get around the Resort, making it easy to reach the Six Senses spa and be pampered with wellness, holistic, regenerating and relaxing treatments. The white sandy beaches are without equal, and offer guests the opportunity to go snorkelling, scuba diving, sailing and windsurfing or organise boat trips on
