The Allure of Soneva Fushi

With a steadfast commitment to sustainability and luxury that whispers rather than shouts, Soneva Fushi offers an escape not just to a different place but to a different pace of life.

Yet, among its myriad of indulgences, the private sandbank overnight experience stands as a testament to Soneva Fushi's mastery in creating moments that etch themselves into the heart.
The Private Sandbank Overnight Experience
As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, a journey begins. A boat ride takes you to your own private sandbank, where a luxurious Bedouin-style tent awaits, complete with a bathroom that defies all expectations of desert-island dwelling. The scene is set for an evening of unparalleled romance and beauty: a candlelit dinner prepared by personal attendants who, with discreet bows, leave you to your secluded paradise.
The night unfolds under a tapestry of stars, where the only sounds are the gentle lapping of waves and the whisper of the breeze. The luxurious tent becomes a cocoon of comfort, its plush bedding and the rhythmic sound of the sea lulling you into a restful sleep. The magic of the experience is not just in the opulence but in the profound connection with nature, a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of being truly away from it all.
As dawn breaks, the first rays of sunlight dance across the water, heralding the arrival of breakfast delivered at your chosen time. Savoring this first meal of the day, with the sand beneath your feet and the endless ocean before you, is a moment of pure bliss, a gentle conclusion to an unforgettable night.

Dining in Thailand comes in many forms. Some nights you’ll find yourself in Bangkok’s bustling Chinatown slurping down the best noodle soup you’ve ever had. You’ll be sitting on a plastic chair that is surely designed for a five-year-old. The table height is just as low. It’s also a little sweaty since this al-fresco dining situation is on the sidewalk with Bangkok life whizzing by not more than two meters away. But none of this matters because this is the best bowl of noodle soup you’ve ever tasted. On the flip slide, during your time in Thailand you can dine in the most luxurious and private locations you’ve ever seen. Candlelit dinners are lovely, but how about a private candlelit dinner next to a waterfall in the jungle? And I don’t mean just a candle on your table. I’m talking about hundreds of candles surrounding you, illuminating the waterfall, the jungle, with a few larger torches bringing light to your table. The Sarojin Khao Lak Resort offers some of the coolest private dining experiences you’ll ever encounter. The food selection throughout Thailand is worth the trip, but these memorable dining options will leave your taste buds and your heart in Thailand.
