Top 10s logo 

Soneva Kiri is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Eco Retreats.

Opened in 2009, Soneva Kiri offers 42 pool villas set along the beach front in the lush vegetation of the hillside, as well as Junior Beach and Cliff Retreats, The Private Beach, Cliff Reserves, and Eco Villas. All villas have spectacular views of the tropical landscapes, crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches of Koh Kood, one of the most pristine and untouched islands of Thailand.

The zero emission Eco Villas are tucked into a jungle clearing and built from local driftwood - each has a 209 square metre natural swimming pool and luscious, bush-filled gardens – even a tree house! It’s all very ‘Flintstones’: cavernous curves, natural materials and a back to nature vibe. Indulgence is not scrimped at cutting-edge Kiri - the design is hip and plush, and the interiors and mod cons are of the highest calibre. Each villa is serviced by its own butler, Mr or Mrs Friday, who meets you upon arrival and pampers you throughout your stay.

Explore the surrounding jungle on guided treks and mountain bikes, and enjoy water activities like waterskiing, wakeboarding, snorkelling and catamaran excursions. You’re also situated close enough to the Cambodian border for a temple-hunting day trip to Angkor Wat. On-site entertainment at Kiri includes an outdoor cinema screening classic movies with popcorn, a state-of-the-art observatory for star-gazing and astronomy classes, and a world-class spa with couples’ Thai massages.

Soneva Kiri is a vanguard for sustainable travel, using its own organic produce, solar power and local staff, who helped build this eco palace. It is an inspired choice for honeymooners and laid-back luxury seekers.

Client Testimonials

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
