Soneva Kiri Thailand Full Review

The couple behind the Six Senses resorts, Sonu Shivdasani and Eva Malmstrom-Shivdasani, set up Soneva Kiri with a concept of “intelligent luxury” in mind, that is, the idea that luxury doesn’t necessarily mean everything has to be shiny and high-tech, and sometimes the simple life is the best.
The resort is perched on the shores of Koh Kood, one of Thailand’s largest and perhaps least developed islands. With tall palms, clear ocean and white sand, it has all the attributes of a far-flung paradise. It’s an 80-minute flight from Bangkok aboard the hotel's private plane which lands on a neighbouring island. From there guests take a speedboat over to the resort. The island is well placed for trips over to Cambodia too: a seat on a private flight to Siem Reap for Angkor Wat costs from US$650 for adults and $325 for children aged 12 and under. A private charter is also available.
A village of villas among the jungle, with most of the structures made from wood and natural materials, giving a Robinson Crusoe feel to the whole place. The natural look isn’t all for show either, as the resort has a reasonably robust sustainability policy that involves making biofuel and growing their own food on site.Rather than building up the bling, there’s an emphasis on decompressing from all aspects of cramped modern life to the full extent - no one wears shoes for example, and free yoga and Pilates classes happen every morning. There’s also an excellent spa with an extensive menu of stress-relieving treatments.
With each villa comes a Mr or Ms Friday on call 24 hours a day, meaning there is no need to worry about anything you might need while on the resort. Staff throughout the resort are equally as helpful.
Villas are either at the beachfront or in the forest, and run from one to five bedrooms, all with lots of space to relax and have privacy (even from other people in the same villa). The look and feel is a continuation of the main areas, with lots of wood and large windows allowing natural light into the rooms. Bathroom arrangements are creative; you can have a bath outdoors, or a shower in the sun in some of the villas.
The Khun Benz restaurant is the highlight of the food offering, an off-site restaurant in a sea inlet, where the eponymous Thai head chef cooks up a traditional Thai storm. The other restaurants serve a decent mixture of Thai and pan-European food - though more Thai food on the menu wouldn’t hurt. Most of the ingredients are reasonably local (even the camembert, which is made on the mainland). A resident chocolatier also stocks the “chocolate room” - a refrigerated room full of truffles, chocolate milks and other treats. Along with the ice-cream bar (with delicious homemade flavours) it is available to guests as part of the room rate.
For those who want cheaper rates, off season prices are much more attractive - though the weather is wet and extremely hot. Bayview Pool Villa Suite from US$905 (£580) per night, including breakfast. Free Wi-Fi.
Private beach with watersports facilities, spa, swimming-pool, tennis and volleyball court, fitness room, restaurants, bars, observatory, outdoor cinema, kids' club, library, CD and DVD libraries, free WiFi throughout, concierge. In rooms: flatscreen TV and DVD player, CD player, iPod dock, minibar, full-size Soneva amenities, outdoor bathrooms, private pool, personal concierges called Barefoot Butlers to see to your whims. Electric buggy for exploring the resort.

So much cutting of trees for that wood

[@Crina90]

Soneva is so much more eco-friendly than any other hotels

[@manupandit3864]

@@Crina90 maybe. But that’s a lot of wood. What point in being eco friendly after cutting those trees. Well that’s an assumption. Still guessing where all that wood has come from
