Listen up all you beach lovers, we’ve found a gorgeous little spot in Thailand that the crowds have yet to find – Koh Kood Island, a tropical isle with lush vegetation, crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches where whiling away a day with a coconut and good book is the order of the day. Sound too good to be true? Right now it is, but go soon, before it lands on the tourist map.
Sleep at Soneva Kiri, a luxury resort on 102 acres set to open later this fall, with 38 beachfront and hillside pool villas. Accessible only by plane, the resort has its own airport.
Or for more simple pleasures, try Koh Kood Resort, a nature resort with thatched-roof bungalows. Here you can enjoy a romantic shower under a million stars in your open-air bathroom or get a one-and-a-half hour massage whenever you feel like it. There’s snorkeling, swimming and kayaking, or simply kick back on the beach for a snooze or wander aimlessly through the botanical gardens. If you’re looking for a luxury vacation, this isn’t it, but these nature bungalows, with their privacy and peace and quiet, will easily make you forget about the comforts you thought you needed.
