The image above is pretty much explanatory. If there is one thing you shall not pack: it's your shoes. The Barefoot philosophy or the "slow life" philosophy described by the Sixth Senses Resort should not be mistaken with a primitive understanding of travel.
You will not be asked to climb on trees hunting for coconuts during lunch. Soneva Kiri is the perfect communion of traditional villager freedom and lifestyle with a luxurious and detail oriented service. You will be well provided for by a personal butler, housekeeper and waiter. You can definitely tell your home staff they can go on holidays as well.
Located in the island of Koh Kood, Thailand, the exceptional design of the private resort melts in harmony with the environment: waterfalls, tropical forest, traditional villages. 42 pool villas amidst the beauties of the island that keep in mind environmental sustainability.
Yes, intimate, cosy, private... As soon as you land in Bangkok a private plane will be there to pick you up and steal you away from civilization.
Lets ponder upon the word "civilized". To us, Soneva Kiri seems more civilized than our urban conditions.
