Soneva Kiri has been selected as the winner of the Best Far Flung Escape category in the annual 2015 Jetsetter Best of the Best hotel awards.
This year, Jetsetter has recognized hotels that deliver outstanding experiences that are truly above the rest. The winners represent the top 1% of hotels on Jetsetter.com in 23 'best' categories ranging from Boutique to All-Inclusive and Best Far Flung Escape. Soneva Kiri is the only hotel in South East Asia to receive one of the 23 'best' category rankings.
In selecting Soneva Kiri for the 'Best Far Flung Escape', the Jetsetter team wrote: "This tiny Thai isle is a private jet and speedboat ride away from the nearest international airport, but the 35-villa Soneva Kiri makes distant memories of Bangkok's baggage claim. All 35 villas have personal infinity pools, private buggies for cruising the resort grounds, outdoor bathrooms and organic linens. Dedicated concierges (called Fridays, per Robinson Crusoe) meet guests' every whim, be it arranging a private screening at the beachside Cinema Paradiso, underwater shiatsu at the Six Senses spa, or treetop private dining with a ziplining waiter."
