Soneva Kiri - Thailand
'Remote but accessible' aptly describes the Thai island of Kood, on which Soneva Kiri is set amidst the lush tropical rainforest, off the south-east coast of the Gulf of Siam. International guests are personally met on arrival at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport and transferred to the resort's own airplane for the one-hour flight to the Soneva Kiri airfield. From the air, the beauty of untouched Thailand and Koh Kood, with its white sandy beaches is immediately evident.
Upon landing, guests are greeted by their Mr or Ms Friday - who will be on hand during the entire stay - and escorted on the five-minute Aquasense power-boat crossing from the airfield. Upon stepping ashore, a warm welcome awaits, and after a short electric buggy ride guests arrive at the oversized pool villa, which is a testament to environmental responsiveness and intelligent luxury.
