Best of Eco Hotels

Exceptional luxury meets particularly environmentally friendly design here. In the Gulf of Thailand, the tropical resort Soneva Kiri is located on the unspoiled island of Ko Kut, like a paradise in the rainforest. 34 luxury villas with up to six bedrooms - each unique yet of the same stroke - blend seamlessly into the natural beauty of the surroundings. The Soneva founders, Sonu Shivdasani, and his wife, Eva, have made it their goal to create vacations full of rare experiences without disturbing the course of nature. The resort's own organic gardens, where vegetables, fruits and herbs are grown, innovative waste recycling technology and the use of only sustainable materials play just as much a role as the "no news, no shoes" philosophy: as a guest, you are invited to put down not only your constant accessibility, but also your shoes.
