Winning the World Travel Award for “World’s Leading Eco Resort and Spa,” Soneva Kiri by Six Senses Thailand fulfills a promise to show the world what an eco-friendly resort can look like – amazing!

In the resort’s design, visitors will see how the builders allowed for the bamboo to organically flow and coil its shape around different areas of the resort without harming the natural environment, creating an overall feel that can only be described as peaceful and harmonious with nature.

There are many novelties at the Soneva Kiri; however, one that stands out to most guests would be the unique way they can have meals served. How about a lofty woven tree pod perched 16 feet off the ground? And if that’s not enough to make you say “wow,” perhaps receiving all of your food and drinks courtesy of a flying waiter attached to a zip line will.

Soneva Kiri Resort and Spa is located on the east coast of Thailand in a spot called Koh Kood. This island has a pristine beach and looks seemingly untouched. The resort boasts 42 pool villas alongside the beach front and on a hillside that overlooks the Gulf of Thailand, giving every visitor an unforgettable view.

Amidst all the luxuries Soneva Kiri has to offer, they continue to be committed to improving the ecological and carbon footprint a resort of this magnitude can contribute and follow strict targets and goals set by Six Senses.

According to the philosophy of Soneva Kiri Resort and Spa and in line with giving back to the local community in which they operate, the company sets aside 0.5% of their revenue for what is called the Social and Environmental Responsibility Fund to ensure that they adjust, amend, and act upon whenever appropriate measures are necessary to stay in line with their mission.
