More than five years in the making, Soneva Kiri is set to impress even the most loyal fan of the first two Soneva properties in the Maldives. Just one hour south-east of Bangkok, accessed by the resort’s private plane, Soneva Kiri will be unveiled on the December 8, 2009 as the new global benchmark for Intelligent Luxury and will attract discerning guests who enjoy a touch of hedonism with their sustainability.
To launch this latest and most extraordinary Soneva, a stunning portfolio of images through the lens of Hip Hotels founder Herbert Ypma will be revealed during ILTM 2009 in Cannes. “We have known Herbert for over 15 years and commissioned him for this project as he is the most recognised cutting-edge photographer in the hospitality field”, said Six Senses founder Sonu Shivdasani. “Herbert has the skill to capture the unique visual aspects of the resort, as well as its soul, and we look forward to sharing the unveiling of his work with our guests at ILTM”.
Herbert’s collection will follow the visitor’s journey to the unique island of Koh Kood, showing off the island’s pristine beaches, beautiful jungles and the vast beach and hillside villas that make up the resort. The photography will focus on communicating many of the traditional Soneva features such as the natural and sustainable building materials and the organic, edible landscaping so characteristic of the resorts’ S.L.O.W.L.I.F.E. philosophy but will also delve into the array of culinary delights and the plentiful range of guest experiences on offer for all ages and tastes. A Carbon Zero Eco Villa will showcase the full range of futuristic environmental technologies that Six Senses is so renowned for.
Also featured in the collection will be: the twenty-nine pool villa suites; the twenty-six privately-owned residences, the Thai-style kantoke Dining Room, the Cooking Hut, the immense ice cream parlour (featuring locally-grown honey flavours) and adjoining chocolate room, the gourmet deli, the full range of restaurants, the wine-cellar, Cinema Paradiso, the already infamous Treetop Dining, the children’s Den, and the Six Senses Spa.
