You and your girlfriends arrive in Bangkok, and jump on a private 90 minute flight South East to the stunning and remote island of Koh Kood. A short speedboat ride in a stunning white vessel to Thailand’s most desired 6 Star Resort, Soneva Kiri. Allow your personal Butler (Mr or Mrs Friday) to escort you to your beautifully appointed and luxurious villa. Spoil yourselves in the outdoor jungle bathrooms, dine amongst the trees, spend your days on private beaches and in the Six Senses Spa indulging in massages and Ayurveda Treatments.
Watch the sunset over the jungle across the ocean whilst you sip cocktails and wander down to our outdoor cinema for wine and popcorn. A mixture of luxury, environmentally friendly design and an authentically Thai experience will provide a holiday you will be talking about for years to come. This is the perfect escape for you and the girls, for that mid-year Winter escape. It would be remiss of us not to mention the complimentary gourmet chocolate and ice creams room, at your service. Night and day.
