Koh Kood, Thailand · Soneva · Apex Luxury
When Soneva Kiri opened on the remote island of Koh Kood in 2009, it asked arriving guests to leave their shoes at the pier, launching the brand's now-famous barefoot luxury philosophy. Dinner happens in a tree pod suspended five meters above the forest floor, and several family villas come with their own treehouse and waterslide straight into the pool. It earned MICHELIN's Three Keys distinction, the guide's highest rating, one of only a handful of hotels in Thailand to receive it.

History
Soneva Kiri opened in December 2009 on Koh Kood, a remote island near the Cambodian border reached by a roughly 75-minute flight from Bangkok and a speedboat transfer.

The resort holds MICHELIN's Three Keys distinction, the guide's highest rating, one of only a handful of Thai hotels to receive it.
