Explore a New Secret Thai Beach Every Day for a Week Thanks to This Luxury Resort's New Package
With winter just around the corner for many parts of North America and Europe, a tropical beach vacation may be top of mind. But why visit just one beach when you could discover a new stretch every single day for a week without having to do any of the planning?

The property's Seven Days, Seven Beaches program offers visitors the opportunity to explore a different far-flung beach every day for a week. Guests will travel from the idyllic resort to these unspoiled beaches, secluded bays, and hidden coves via a wooden fishing boat, which turns into private beach club — complete with bean bags for lounging, kayaks and paddleboards, and a kitchen with a private chef — once it's time to anchor. Each night, they'll return to the property to enjoy a stunning sunset.

The itinerary comes as Thailand is set to start easing international travel restrictions. Beginning Nov. 1, fully vaccinated travelers from the U.S. and other countries dubbed low risk will be exempt from quarantining in Thailand, as long as they test negative for COVID-19 before their flight and again after landing in the country.
Soneva Kiri also requires a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of checking in, regardless of a guest's vaccination status. But that's a small price to pay in exchange for settling into this rain forest oasis, where you can swim in gorgeous blue waters, dine high above the trees, and enjoy beautiful sunsets from the deck of your luxury villa.
