Venue Setting

Award-winning luxury resort Soneva Kiri is located on Thailand’s fourth largest but least populated island, Koh Kood - just one hour by private plane south-east of Bangkok. It offers an unrivalled combination of luxury, an integral environmental approach, authentic Thai experiences and mouth-watering organic food.

Soneva Kiri Resort comprises 35 vast pool villas on beach level, hillsides or cliff tops, all overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Available to rent or purchase, all have impossibly chic furnishings, personal electric buggies and impeccable service courtesy of Mr./Ms. Friday private butlers.

Highlights include the open-air Cinema Paradiso, a home-made chocolate and ice cream parlour, a high-tech Observatory, a manta ray shaped children’s Den and the spectacular Treetop Dining Pod.

Soneva Kiri has also recently began offering a twice weekly flight by private plane to Siem Reap in Cambodia, home to the captivating world heritage wonders of Angkor Wat.

Soneva Kiri has a sister resort Soneva Fushi (1995), in the Maldives and forms part of the Soneva Group. The Group is steadfast in leading the hospitality industry in environmentally responsible tourism. 

Soneva Kiri is committed to its SLOW LIFE philosophy: Sustainable-Local-Organic-Wellness Learning-Inspiring-Fun-Experiences.

Venue Features
The Scene:
Escape to Soneva Kiri resort in Thailand and experience truly limitless luxury. A proud ambassador of the Soneva motto, ‘No News No Shoes’, Soneva Kiri is a luxurious desert island hideaway that redefines notions of paradise. Far removed from the stresses of quotidian life, the resort’s untouched slopes, wild, natural interiors and immaculate beaches all embrace a refreshingly raw sense of glamour. Every conceivable convenience is taken care of here, even guests’ sweet tooth cravings! So Chilled is an outdoor, complimentary and unlimited ice cream parlour at Soneva Kiri with over sixty flavours to choose from, and So Chocoholic offers epicurean delights in the form of fresh truffles, creamy mousses and sumptuous fondue. At Soneva Kiri, boredom is not an option thanks to the impressive panoply of activities. Cinephile travellers can revel in the resort’s outdoor cinema, Cinema Paradiso.  Showing nostalgic classic movies, it is nestled in the midst of beautiful verdant jungle. Keen astronomers can stargaze at celestial wonders from the Observatory and satisfy their quest for knowledge with the help of visiting astronomers that will gladly help identify constellations. The resort is a cultural hub, located close to the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Guests can also choose to embark on a local fishing adventure on traditional fishing boats, and see local fishermen return with their catch of the day.
 
Design:
Intelligent luxury is at the forefront of ethics and sustainability at Soneva Kiri; the mindset behind the luxury has always been to nurture environmental change and minimise negative impact on ecology and the surrounding landscape of the resort. The thirty five villas at Soneva Kiri embody a rustic-chic design, and are all vast and luxurious. Built from local, sustainably sourced, non-toxic materials such as bamboo, teak and acacia, and furnished in effortlessly chic style, the villas' design underpins Soneva Kiri's commitment to preserving the environment. The blissful retreats are designed to blend in with the landscape, showcasing local timbers. Views of the secluded bay are magical, and free-form private swimming pools wrap enchantingly around residences. A wide range of accommodation is available, from intimate one-bedroom suites to the palatial five-bedroom Private Beach Reserve.
 
Standout Venue Features:
Private Plane experience
Remote but accessible Ancient Siam, the adventure starts with the private plane flight from Bangkok to Soneva Kiri Resort Airport, flying over exotic rice fields, colourful fishing boats and the sapphire Gulf of Thailand.
The Tree Pod Dining
Literally a highlight! Tucked into the hills but overlooking peaceful, ocean bays, feast in Treepod Dining with a bird’s eye view 6 metres in the air, as a waiter delivers baskets of gourmet delights.
Khun Benz’ Restaurant
Cruise deep into the mangroves to Khun Benz’ atmospheric restaurant built on stilts. Arguably the best food in Thailand, food is fresh from the daily market; Benz chooses her favourite dishes for you.
A Giant Wonderland in the Trees – Kids’ Club ‘The Den’
Shaped like a manta ray, giant moulded bamboo comprises this child’s haven. Uncompromising as ever in its pursuit for perfection, Soneva Kiri creates activities that incorporate fun, meaningful experience and education – a dream for parents as well as children!  The Den boasts a Thai music room, a library, an art room, yoga sessions and cookery classes. In keeping with Soneva Kiri’s resolute eco-credentials, there are also eco-centre tours around the resort’s organic gardens.
Cinema Paradiso
Watch the stars, under the stars at Cinema Paradiso at Soneva Kiri.  Enjoy a classic film at our magical outdoor cinema with an overwater screen in the middle of our reservoir lagoon.
Cinema Paradiso has been referred to as Mother Nature’s amphitheatre. It presents classic movies set beneath a star-bejewelled canopy and an auditorium of personal loungers. Cocktail service and the mandatory hot buttered popcorn, complemented by a gourmet canapé menu, complete the soiree to remember.
Movies are screened on a complimentary basis for guests, and the cinema can also be rented out for personal screenings on request - An unforgettable experience.
Observatory 
We’ve always been fascinated by the night sky. Its thick, impenetrable darkness scattered with glimmering specks of light.Here, on remote Koh Kood, we felt a sense of wonder as we stared into its open sky, far from the obscuring lights of civilization. That’s why we were inspired to build a state-of-the-art observatory. With the infectious passion of our visiting astronomers, you’ll soon be identifying constellations, counting the moons of Jupiter and peering at the graceful halo of Saturn’s translucent ring. 
 
Extra Perks:
IDD telephone, espresso machine, tea and coffee making facilities, DVD player and Bose Hi-fi system with docking station for a personal iPod, Electric buggy for personal use and 24 hours Ms./Mr.Friday butler service
