INSPIRE – Beach Days

With Thailand’s borders set to reopen to fully vaccinated visitors from low-risk countries, Soneva Kiri has launched a Seven Days, Seven Beaches package, which invites guests to explore some of Thailand’s most breathtaking stretches of sand, Koh Kood, the country’s fourth largest but least populated island, and nearby Koh Rang, a designated National Marine Park. 

Setting sail from the Soneva Kiri jetty on a traditional wooden fishing boat, it cruises along the coastline to a curated selection of secluded bays and hidden coves off the tourist trail. 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.

The fishing boat transforms into a private beach club once it drops anchor, complete with a cushioned top deck and bean bags if you want to chill, and kayaks and paddleboards if you want to explore. Swim ashore to sunbathe, snorkel, and paddle along the coastline or kick back with a drink and a snack from the boat’s private kitchen. 

Priced at US$200 per adult per day and US$75 for kids under 12, 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 US$500 per person. Each voyage is for a minimum of two guests and a maximum of eight, and additional guests can arrive via speedboat once the fishing boat has anchored. sonevakiri.com
