Soneva Kiri, Thailand
Soneva, as a chain, champions the cause of sustainability across all its properties. The Soneva Foundation only supports the development of projects that have a positive environmental, social, and economic impact. Their only resort in Thailand is no different. The pristine Koh Kood beach is home to this piece of paradise, which features 33 one-to-five-bedroom villas, each with its own pool. The restaurants at Kiri are supplied by their own organic garden and locally caught seafood. The resort has also banned plastics, and all water is filtered and provided in eco-friendly glass bottles. The property has also developed its Carbon Calculator to monitor its footprint and manage its resources accordingly.
