Effective from June 1, 2025, Soneva Kiri has officially transitioned to a new identity: Kiri Private Reserve. This transformation marks an exciting new chapter for the resort, paving the way for elevated growth and an enhanced guest experience.

Kiri Private Reserve remains deeply rooted in Soneva’s philosophy—offering rare experiences, world-class service, memorable culinary journeys, and the unique character that has made the resort so beloved. The dedicated team remains committed to preserving every distinctive aspect of the original resort, while continuously developing and strengthening every area to enhance the overall experience.

“We aim to take the defining qualities of the resort and elevate them into an experience that is more rewarding than ever—through greater privacy, refined service, and a serene atmosphere—while continuing to welcome guests from both Thailand and around the world,” said Mr. Manish Sharma, General Manager of Kiri Private Reserve.

“This transition allows Kiri Private Reserve to operate with even more focus and intimacy, while staying true to the essence of Koh Kood—its stunning natural beauty and peaceful ambiance. Koh Kood is one of the few remaining Thai islands with truly rich and unspoiled biodiversity. The operational team remains unchanged, continuing to provide the unique and heartfelt service that long-time guests have come to know and love.”

Kiri Private Reserve continues to deliver its iconic signature experiences, including:

Treepod Dining – an unforgettable bamboo nest dining experience among the rainforest canopy, with panoramic views of the sea.

Krua Mae Tuk – a waterside Thai restaurant offering authentic local flavors.

Guided Jungle Treks, beachside picnics, cultural activities, and floating breakfast trays served in the privacy of your villa.

To celebrate the launch of Kiri Private Reserve, the resort will be offering a variety of exciting new packages that reflect its elevated vision—welcoming both returning and new guests to rediscover this dream destination.
