SONEVA KIRI

By Chris Boyle

Ocean Villa Suite

While Soneva Kiri’s idyllic environment, beautiful architecture and warm service are model representations of Thai hospitality standards, the resort’s spirit of innovation transcends tradition, resulting in unique experiences not found elsewhere.

Set on an island within the embrace of the Indian Ocean, this gorgeous property’s signature element is a celebration of Intelligent Luxury, a concept that focuses on indulging all senses. A holistic spa and international fusion cuisine, ingredients for which are culled from the resort’s organic gardens, riff on Soneva’s deep-seated theme. Excep- tional and inspired service, accommodations with furnishings crafted from renewable and sustainable sources, generous personal space and guest experiences fused with nature are all part of Soneva’s smart and sophisticated take on luxury, which has borne a destination unlike any other.
