We would like to invite all Thai food lovers to meet and learn to cook with Khun Benz – where you will discover the best Thai food recipes. Start the day by joining the lovely Khun Benz (named after her father’s car!) as she heads to the local fishing village at Ao Salad to choose the catch of the day, whether its squid, crab, scallops or any number of local fish. Khun Benz will then teach you how to prepare your very first delicious Thai dish the local way. Moreover, our desire is for you to take your favourite culinary delights and recreate them at home to share with your family and friends.
Jet over to Koh Rang National Marine Park on one of our speed boats to discover the vast variety of tropical fish. Once you have finished your underwater discovery our team will take you to your very own private beach for a picnic on the white sands.
Mountain biking is an invigorating way to discover Koh Kood. Imagine cycling along a quiet road, in the shade of the rubber trees and coconut groves, with the sound of the birds and the insects filling the fresh air. Though quiet, the Mountain Bike Tour comes recommended as an active activity. The hills are as bountiful as the Koh Kood itself is peaceful.
The most romantic way to enjoy the passing of yet another day in paradise. Cruise along around the west side of Koh Kood and quietly wander the waters, while sipping wine and nibbling on our chef’s gourmet canapés and enjoy as the sun dips into the sea.

This popular activity combines the best of Koh Kood in a hiking and kayaking adventure. Begin the day with an easy hike to a nearby waterfall where you can cool off in the natural spring waters, passing by local villages. After this, there is plenty of time to explore the area, with the resort’s Tropical Ecologist giving you an introduction to flora and fauna. Finish the experience with a relaxing kayak around Khlong Yai Ki, near the renowned Benz restaurant, before heading back to the resort.
An 8 km drive from Soneva Kiri Resort brings you to Klong Nam Sai. The trek will introduce you to much of Koh Kood’s wildlife. The nature of the jungle is a viewing paradise with an incredible diversity of flora and fauna. After trekking for 45 minutes, we visit a local family’s jungle house and organic farm. From there, we slowly move down the ravine to Koh Kood’s secret waterfall. The return route takes us to the majestic and enormous 600 year old Makka (Rosewood) tree. Consider requesting the resort’s biologist to enrich your experience. The peace and quiet of this wonderful trek is inspirational.
There is nothing quite like diving. Our diving courses are executed to fit seamlessly into your Soneva experience.

Then slip between the organic cotton sheets on the pillow-topped king-sized bed of your sea-facing luxury master bedroom.

Bayview Pool Villa Suite
Built of sustainable woods, your Bayview Pool Villa Suite invites you to experience life in the trees. Awaken in the soft organic cotton sheets of your master bedroom’s pillow-topped king-size bed.

Cushioned daybeds and sun loungers await, along with spectacular sea views or the cool indulgence of a relaxing swim in forested surrounds.

Sunset Ocean View Pool Villa Suite

3 Bedroom Beach Pool Reserve
A hideaway filled with whimsy, rustic-chic sustainable design and unabashed indulgences, this Reserve is perfect for families, with a large master bedroom, a second bedroom, separate living room with a dining deck under the stars and the “tree house” for children – complete with bunk beds, its own shower, dressing area and a private deck from where the slide goes down to the pool. Bask in the large garden with private beach area – perfect to while away lazy afternoons.

The villa’s rustic-chic escape stretches generously across the island’s tropical hillside in an endless sprawl of pavilions, decks, daybeds and sun loungers.

Discover all of our dining destinations and experiences available at Soneva Kiri and on the untouched island of Koh Kood down below. Our hosts are happy to customise each experience for a special occasion, celebration, or just because.

Benz's
The creation of this signature Thai gourmet restaurant allowed us to exhibit one of our greatest finds. Discovered by Sonu and Eva many moons ago, Chef Benz was the perfect choice to helm this Thai kitchen. With a ‘no-menu’ dining concept, Chef Benz’ vast selection of dishes is inspired by ingredients grown here on Koh Kood and neighbouring Koh Chang and seafood that comes from local fishermen. Cruise through the mangroves of Klong Yai Kee to this open-air lantern-lit eatery on stilts. Continue your soulful trip, discovering the delicacies of a nine-course menu that changes nightly.

The View Restaurant
As we designed the naturally luxurious playground that is Soneva Kiri, we took great delight in the spectacular vistas we discovered. The View takes its name from its unparalleled outlook. Intimate yet dramatic, The View thrusts you into the infinite horizon. Dine over the cliff and savour your selection of creations made in the slow food tradition – lovingly prepared with locally sourced produce and Western cooking techniques, making the most of the season and each day’s harvest.



Treepod Dining
Tree Pod Dining could be the most innovative dining aloft since inflight silver service was introduced at 35,000 feet, half a century ago. Although in this case the dining is just 16 feet, or around 5 metres, off terra firma. The Tree Pod, engineered with a rigid frame swathed in woven rattan, is not unlike a cocoon with an open panorama window. Up to four diners board the pod, and are then elevated to the lofty height by a system of safety winches. Food courses arrive courtesy of a flying waiter – harnessed to a zip line – as do beverage replenishments. However, unlike the other form of first class dining aloft, this experience enjoys the ultimate exclusivity, and very little turbulence.

The View Laboratory
The Chef de Cuisine and Head Sommelier offer guests an evening of creativity and imaginative menu creations with unique beverage pairings.

The Wine Cellar
The subterranean Wine Cellar features more than 350 labels presented in a climate-controlled cave, with more than 50% being organic or biodynamic wines. A master sommelier presents wine tasting evenings with canapés, chocolates or cheeses.

So Chocoholic
Straight from your childhood dream of visiting Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Treat yourself to chocolate in the form of mousses, milks, cookies, bon-bons or truffles.

Destination Dining
We invite our guests to “break the rules” and create their own reality. Dine wherever your imagination takes you, and our fantastic hosts will bring your vision to life.


Six Senses Spa
The tranquil Six Senses Spa features a salon, a consultation room, a watsu pool and eight treatments rooms, five of which have private relaxation areas. A team of highly skilled therapists, a fitness trainer and an Ayurvedic consultant take guests on uplifting sensory journeys.
