The moment you disembark life slows to a deliciously restful pace. It’s here that Soneva created their first resort in Thailand, an eco-friendly outpost dedicated to the ideal of ‘no shoes, no news’ intelligent luxury. Guests are accommodated in incredibly spacious private pool villas and residences imbued with rustic charm – set along the white sand beachfront or hillside. To complete the experience, services of a personal Mr and Ms Friday will ensure all your wishes are fulfilled.

A range of romantic dining options encompasses moonlit dinners on the private beach, treetop dining and the chance to join an exclusive cookery class. Equally enchanting are the sensory journeys offered in the Six Senses Spa, overseen by skilled therapists using fabulous natural ingredients. Children will love their den with its stingray shaped dome and terrific views; adults may prefer the pleasures of diving, sailing and watersports, or something a little more unusual such as gardening and astronomy classes.
