Soneva Kiri

Ik had een goede indruk toen ik voor het eerst in het hotel aankwam, maar toen ik incheckte, voelde de kamer erg armoedig aan. Het engste is dat toen ik 's nachts sliep, er een eekhoorn naar binnen kroop en op me klom. Ik was erg teleurgesteld over dit hotel.

Er was een muis in huis. Ik bleef daar vier dagen. Ik heb twee nachten niet goed geslapen. De derde nacht zag ik een muis over de grond rennen en hoorde ik een muis piepen in de hoek. De vierde nacht 's Avonds maakte ik me zorgen omdat de muis op het dak zat. Ik vroeg de ober om de muizen te vangen en ving er één, maar slaagde er niet in de andere te vangen en koos ervoor om van kamer te veranderen. Ik had echt niet verwacht dat een hotel met zo'n hoge prijs zo'n laag probleem zou hebben. Er zijn ook veel muggen. Ik zou er zeker niet meer naar toe durven.

Soneva was geweldig! Zeer luxe sfeer Het was een hotel met mooi weer en goede klantenservice dat ik graag nog een keer zou willen bezoeken! Volgende keer ga ik naar Sonevajani Malediven!

Simply perfect!

Returning to our untamed jungle home by the white-sand beach feels like a reunion with an old friend—a friend we have not seen in 4 years, not since we celebrated our honeymoon here together. Despite the lengthy absence, Soneva Kiri remains firmly entrenched among our top three favorite resorts in Thailand. In fact, Soneva holds a special place in our hearts, as we have had the pleasure of experiencing every property they have ever opened. For us, Soneva epitomizes the essence of a simple yet luxurious life, where barefoot elegance meets a secluded tropical paradise. Follow us in our journey to the Soneva Kiri luxury resort experiences. One of the many highlights of Soneva Kiri is the seamless journey to reach it. With just an 80-minute direct flight from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport on the resort's private jet, time seems to suspend as we soar over the breathtaking islands of the Gulf of Thailand. From the bird's-eye view offered by our private jet, we witness the beauty of remote islands like Koh Kood, Koh Chang, and Koh Mak, which are typically inaccessible by commercial flights. As we glide over the turquoise waters and finally arrive at our destination, we're greeted by our Miss Friday, the affectionate term for butlers here, welcoming us back with warm smiles. And so, our holiday adventure begins anew. Perched in what can only be described as the prime spot on Koh Kood, Soneva Kiri is nestled in a tranquil corner of the island, surrounded by towering palm trees, lush gardens, and pristine white sands lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Here, the mantra of "no news, no shoes" reigns supreme, inviting guests to reconnect with nature by sinking their toes into the soft sand or rich earth. With just 35 exclusive villas spread across 1,833 square meters, privacy is paramount, yet every villa comes equipped with its own electric buggy for effortless exploration. Ours even boasts a personalized touch, with our names adorning the wooden license plate—a thoughtful gesture that sets the tone for our stay. As we stroll barefoot along the water's edge, memories of past visits flood back, accompanied by the tantalizing aromas and flavors that define the Soneva experience. From homemade jams and pastries at breakfast to afternoon tapas and Sangria by the pool, each culinary delight is served with a generous dose of hospitality. Moreover, let us not forget the unlimited supply of chocolate and ice cream—a sweet indulgence that never fails to delight. As the sun begins its descent, we are treated to unforgettable dining experiences, whether it is a sunset feast overlooking the ocean or a traditional Thai dinner served on water. With no set menu, the chef relies on the freshest catches of the day, ensuring each meal is a culinary masterpiece. And as night falls, we find ourselves under a blanket of stars, either gazing through telescopes at the observatory tower or enjoying a movie under the open sky at Cinema Paradiso—a romantic finale to each da

We just spent a week at Soneva Kiri, and we’re so happy we found this hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was amazing. The resort perfectly balances luxury with a sense of connection to nature, making it the most unforgettable place we’ve ever stayed. And to make it even more special they take you by boat to their private and absolutely stunning beach paradise. Our villa was stunning. It was massive, beautifully designed, and completely private, with a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The outdoor bathtub surrounded by lush jungle was a highlight—it felt like an oasis. The food was out of this world. Every meal was a delight, but the breakfast spread was the best we’ve ever had, offering a wide variety of fresh and locally sourced options. We also couldn’t resist visiting the chocolate and ice cream rooms every day—it brought out our inner kids! There was so much to do, but it never felt rushed. We spent our days sailing, snorkeling, and relaxing by the pool. One evening, we watched a movie at Cinema Paradiso, their open-air theater over the lagoon, and another night, we stargazed at the observatory—both were magical moments we’ll cherish forever. The staff made everything even more special. Our butler, Fon, was incredible—so kind and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Fon even arranged for our private movie showing, which was such a memorable experience. We also had a wonderful time with Dmytro, the water activities manager, who was always helpful and had such a positive attitude. Additionally, we had the pleasure of meeting the Reservation Manager, Dhanushan, the General Manager, Manish, host Spy, all the guys working at the private beach and many other staff members whose warmth and hospitality made our stay exceptional. The entire team genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. Soneva Kiri is a perfect escape for couples and families. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just need time to reconnect, this place is pure paradise. We’re already planning when we can return—it’s that incredible!
