Travel to Thailand: Escape to sustainable sanctuary, Soneva Kiri, Koh Kood

Thailand Travel: Step Aboard and Set Sail with Soneva - Seven Days, Seven Beaches

An authentic fishing boat by day and private beach club by night, Soneva Kiri invites holiday guests to discover Thailand’s most spectacular white sands

Soneva Kiri has unveiled its latest one-of-a-kind travel experience with a transforming authentic fishing boat that turns into an exclusive beach club. Seven Days, Seven Beaches invites holiday guests to explore some of Thailand’s most breath-taking beaches on the island of Koh Kood, the country’s fourth largest but least populated island, and nearby Koh Rang, a National Marine Park. With Thailand’s borders set to reopen to fully vaccinated travellers from low-risk countries from November 1, 2021, the unforgettable travel experience is a wonderful way to rediscover the joys of travel while reconnecting with the beauty of nature, surrounded by some of the country’s most remarkable scenery.

Setting sail from the Soneva Kiri jetty, the traditional wooden fishing boat cruises along the coastline to a curated selection of pristine beaches, secluded bays and hidden coves, far from the usual tourist trail. Each has been chosen for its exquisite natural beauty, soft white sands fringed with palms, and clear, sparkling sea. With each day dedicated to a different beach, the itinerary includes: Klong Chao Beach, Ao Kluai, Koh Rang's Blue Lagoon, Klong Han Beach, Ao Tapao, Klong Ngamko Beach and Takhian Beach.

In a unique twist, the fishing boat transforms into a private beach club once it drops anchor, complete with a cushioned top deck and bean bags for lounging, kayaks and paddleboards for exploring, and an onboard kitchen where the private chef crafts a mouth-watering selection of gourmet meals. Guests can swim ashore to sunbathe on the sands, snorkel over colourful corals, paddle along the coastline or simply stretch out and relax in the sunshine on deck.

The Seven Days, Seven Beaches experience can be tailored to guests’ desires, offering the freedom to choose from a one-day, one-beach cruise to the full seven-day adventure, with a new beach every day. The boat departs at 10.00 in the morning and returns to the resort at 18:30, taking in the spectacular sunset.

Priced at £145 per adult per day and £55 per child (5-12 years old) per day, the Seven Days, Seven Beaches experience includes a gourmet lunch with selected beverages and complimentary non-motorised water sports. A shorter, Three Days, Three Beaches experience is also available, priced at £362 per person. Each voyage is for a minimum of two guests and a maximum of eight – additional guests can arrive via speedboat once the fishing boat has anchored.
