Soneva Kiri by Six Senses
To reach Soneva Kiri, on the Gulf of Thailand’s Koh Kood, guests board the resort’s private jet in Bangkok for a one-hour flight to the hotel’s private airstrip, or a take a one-hour speedboat ride from Trat, in southeast Thailand. Upon arrival, it’s a castaway fantasy: an ivory-sand beach fronts the resort’s free-form private pools, tented day beds, and rainforest spa. Personal butlers race around the property’s 29 villas in golf carts, though the ultimate dinner-with-a-view uses transportation of a different kind: the hotel’s four-person Treetop Dining Pod is located 20 feet up a massang tree, and servers deliver seafood curries via zip line.
