EDITOR’S

NOTE

oneva is a hospitality company occupying space in the “Ultra-Luxe segment of the market. Started in 1995 by Indian-British hotelier Sonu Shivdasani and his Swedish fashion model wife Eva Malmstrom, they constructed their first resort in the Maldives. Named Soneva Fushi, they pioneered the trend of ‘back to nature” holidays. They later constructed Soneva Jani, another Maldivian resort. This year, Travel + Leisure World Magazine named Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani the No. 1 & 2 Resorts in the Maldives. In this issue, we’re not taking you to Soneva Fushi or Jani; instead, join us as we board Soneva Aqua, their ultra-luxurious 23-metre Maldivianbased yacht. Their highly experienced crew includes a captain, mechanic, barefoot butler, head chef, and wellness therapist. Upon request, you can also be joined by a divemaster, surf instructor, astronomer, or digital storyteller. Leave your shoes at home and turn to page 28 to find out why you’ll want a digital storyteller on your cruise. To say Katharine Pooley is just an interior designer is like saying Elon Musk is just an engineer. One of the most respected, creative, and original British luxury interior designers, she was named “British Interior Designer of the Decade,” “International Designer of the Year, Asia.” one of “The 50 Finest Interior Designers,” and most recently awarded the “Best Luxury Residence London 2021” at the International Design and Architecture Awards.

All villas come with your own individual butler and personal electric buggy.

HOT AROUND BANGKOK Enjoy a Taste of Rome with Authentic Maritozzi at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River Originating during the Roman Empire, Maritozzi are traditional sweet buns filled with cream and are especially popular in Rome. But what you might not know is that Maritozzi are seen throughout Italy as a sign of true love. These succulent desserts are often given by a husband (marito) to his wife as a daily reminder of their love. Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River resident Italian and Executive Chef Andrea Accordi wanted to share his love of Maritozzi with Bangkok. Accordi partnered with the Hotel’s new Executive Pastry Chef and fellow Italian Andrea Bonaffini to create elevated authentic Maritozzi. “Over the last two years, I have found myself longing for an authentic Maritozzo,” says Accordi. “When back home in Italy, I often grab a few Maritozzi to bring home to my wife as a tradition to show our love to one another. So when Chef Bonaffini started, I knew our first project had to be an elevated version to share with our guests.” The two Andreas quickly started testing recipes until they found the perfect combination. “The ideal Maritozzo needs to have a light brioche bun, filled with decadent sweet cream,” says Bonaffini. “Our Maritozzi have a beautiful airy bun, and we elevated our cream with the choice of Tahitian vanilla or the best Thai dark chocolate we could find. The result will take you on a trip to the streets of Rome.”

“When our first batch of Maritozzi was finished, I knew we had something special,” says Accordi. “I took my first bite and immediately was transported back to Italy. Finally, I could enjoy an authentic maritozzo in Asia.” Maritozzi from Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok are available for takeaway at THB 130 net per Maritozzo in Tahitian vanilla cream or dark chocolate cream. A minimum order of four pieces and 24-hour advanced order and payment is required. Guests can order and get additional information through @FSBangkok or by calling +66 (0) 2 032 0885.

HOT AROUND BANGKOK Head Chef Alexandre Castaldi Dishes Out Plans For Returning Bangkok Diners Alexandre Castaldi, better known as Chef Alex, is a man for all seasons. When SEEN Bangkok Restaurant & Bar at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel had to suspend in-person dining as a social distancing measure, the venue’s head chef jumped at the opportunity to help lead the kitchens of Anantara Siam Bangkok’s fine dining restaurants. Now that his trendy eatery on the banks of the Chao Phraya River has reopened, Chef Alex is ready to welcome cabin-fevered patrons clamouring for the return of the communal experience back to SEEN. Located on the 26th floor of Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, the hedonistic SEEN rooftop bar is the brainchild of Olivier da Costa, one of Portugal’s most successful chefpreneurs. The first SEEN opened in Sao Paulo in 2017, then in Lisbon in 2018, and Bangkok a year later.

Drawing inspiration from Chef Olivier’s original recipes, Alex’s food is playful, exciting, and, naturally, perfect for sharing. The popular ‘Chef Specials’ showcase locally sourced produce, while his a la carte menu features such specials as SEEN tacos with Alaskan king crab, truffled gunkan salmon, yellowtail ceviche with passionfruit, and SEEN chocolate lava cake infused with bourbon — a tribute to chef Alexandre’s self-confessed obsession with chocolate.

Inspired by Art Deco styles and fashions, the sumptuous indoor-outdoor hideaway boasts panoramic views of the Chao Phraya, especially at sunset, as well as excellent people-watching. SEEN Bangkok is open daily. Email reservation@seenrooftopbangkok. com or call +66 2431 9492 for reservations.

CRUISING THE MALDIVES IN SONEVA’S AQUA

HOT Magazine

n 1995, Sonu Shivdasani, an IndianBritish hotelier, along with his wife Eva Malmstrom, launched the Soneva Fushi resort on the deserted Maldivian island of Kunfunadhoo. They also built their house there, where his wife, a Swedish fashion model, developed the design and furnishings for their unique resort and private home. They had no idea that their intensely personal vision of a locally crafted villa and environmentally responsible lifestyle would form the basis of a successful collection of world-class hotels, resorts, and spas. But that’s precisely what happened. Soneva Fushi was the first ‘castaway’ resort in the Maldives, pioneering a trend for back-to-nature luxury holidays. In 2009, the Soneva Hotel group built a second, even more spectacular hotel – Soneva Kiri – on the unspoilt Thai island of Koh Kood. They followed that up with another Maldive destination, Soneva Jani, a stunning resort that set new standards in this destination that is already known for its world-class hotels. Soneva also launched their ultraluxurious 23-metre yacht named Soneva in Aqua. Located in the Maldives, it combines Soneva’s luxurious hospitality with the freedom of a private charter on the Indian Ocean, merging imaginative luxury with the freedom to explore the oceans unfettered by the limitations of time.

HOT Magazine

This highly refined yacht measures 23 metres (75 feet) in length and 6.40 metres (21 feet) in width, with exceptionally spacious interiors. The vessel features one master cabin that comes with a glass-bottomed spa tub, and an ensuite shower, plus a VIP cabin with its own ensuite shower. In total, the yacht can accommodate four adults and two children. Amenities onboard include an external raised sun deck, a dining area and a bar on the main deck, daybeds, lounge seating and an outdoor Jacuzzi. There is also additional sun deck space for spa treatments, an internal library and lounge plus Wi-Fi connectivity. Sailing from Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani, voyages range from half & full-day cruises to live-aboard adventures around the Maldive archipelago. Each bespoke charter is tailored to your needs, whether you want to explore the best surf breaks, dive spots, drop anchor at deserted islands, or simply sail towards the sunset. Their highly experienced crew includes a captain, mechanic, Barefoot Butler, head chef, and wellness therapist. Upon request, you can also be joined by a divemaster, surf instructor, astronomer, or digital storyteller. With your own dedicated Head Chef, every meal is tailored to you. It can start with a healthy sunrise breakfast on deck, a picnic lunch on a castaway beach, sundowners on the sands, and a barbecue with the catch of the day on a deserted island under the stars. The freedom of choice is yours on the high seas. The experienced crew also includes a dedicated wellness and yoga expert. If you wish, you can start your day with sunrise yoga or Tai Chi on deck, indulge in a massage, or meditate under star-strewn skies. A wide range of treatments and personalised wellness activities are all available to you.

HOT Magazine

If desired, an itinerary designed by Soneva in Aqua’s Captain offers you the chance to explore reefs beneath the calm waters, uninhabited islands, and fascinating marine life at leisure. A favourite guest activity is night snorkelling with manta rays. Majestic manta rays are a common sight when dropping anchor in the Goidhoo Lagoon. With the clear skies lit up by the moon and stars, night-time snorkelling is an utterly magical experience. – slip overboard into the balmy waters and let the lights from the yacht illuminate these gentle giants as you glide alongside them.

You can also learn the ancient art of freediving. Long predating modern scuba diving, freediving is a quieter, more mindful way to connect with life under the ocean. Guided by their certified freediver, you can learn the relaxation techniques required to hold your breath for longer and how to propel yourself through the water, then take the plunge and put your newfound knowledge into practice. While Soneva in Aqua primarily relies on its engine for power, they are more than happy to roll out the sails when conditions allow. Soneva in Aqua’s complimentary personalised photography and videography service will capture the most precious moments of your voyage, whether you’re relaxing on board, paddling across the waves, or exploring below the surface. All pictures and videos are edited and transferred direct to your personal device before the end of your stay. A choice of one, two, and three-night excursions are available depending on how much of the Maldivian sights and islands you wish to explore. Longer itineraries are also available on request.

Katharine Pooley

Designing Luxury Globally

atharine Pooley is one of the most sought-after interior designers working internationally today. She was born in Hertfordshire, schooled in Oxfordshire, England, and then predominantly brought up in Bahrain. Her family travelled extensively, which has inspired her global viewpoint and inspired many of her designs years later. After 14 years in the finance sector, working in both Singapore and Hong Kong, she was ready to embark on a new adventure. Returning to England, she established the Katharine Pooley Design

HOT Magazine

Studio more than 18 years ago and has undertaken a myriad of large-scale projects all over the world. One of the most respected, creative, and original British luxury interior designers, she was named “British Interior Designer of the Decade,” “International Designer of the Year, Asia.” one of “The 50 Finest Interior Designers,” and most recently awarded the “Best Luxury Residence London 2021” at the International Design and Architecture Awards. Katharine’s London-based studio houses a team of 47 interior designers and interior architects, and her personal approach

ensures every detail of every project and product is exquisitely realised and impeccably finished. Each year, Katharine has grown her company from a UK firm undertaking predominantly domestic projects to an internationally well-respected brand and design studio encompassing architectural design, interior design, project management, product design, and property development. Katharine’s standalone boutique in South Kensington, and her website, showcases a range of curated accessories sourced from all over the globe.

Asia has been a huge part of Katharine’s life, having lived there for 16 years, and she designs many of her products using materials and artisans from that part of the world. She appreciates Asian art and artifacts, which are often subtly referenced in her interior designs. A prominent project of hers is the Cachet Boutique Zhejiang Racetrack Circuit in China which won the Hotel Under 200 Rooms Global 2019 International Hotel & Property Award. The innovative resort incorporates a bespoke, energetic, and contemporary aesthetic comprising of high-end materials, luxe

textiles found in luxury car design, and opulent finishes.

will create a global model for living in harmony with the natural world.

Sustainability has become a central pillar of Katharine’s design ethos, advocating that it be at the heart of designing one’s home, which will strengthen our fragile natural environment. She encourages the use of suppliers who place sustainability at the forefront of their manufacturing. Katharine continues to be hopeful that by adjusting the way she designs, placing ethics, sustainability, and durability at its heart, and minimizing wastage, designers and architects

A great example of the sustainably influenced considerations is the Pearl Villa, a residential villa in Qatar masterminded by Katharine. Various sustainable finishes were utilised throughout, from gorgeous faux leathers to wall panels and faux shell embellishments and beautiful wallpapers that used recycled papers as their base. Hand-painted silk wallpaper was also used for joinery fronts to minimize on timber veneers too.

A Few of Katharine Pooley’s prominent design projects

Scottish Forter Castle Following a two-year renovation, Katharine completed the interior design and careful restoration of each of the rooms of Forter Castle, incorporating antique and historical touches to create a quintessentially Scottish feel. Collaborating with her father, Robert Pooley, Katharine, who has a passion for traditional architecture, believes whole-heartedly in its refurbishment and protection. Luxurious finishes and intricate detailing which add richness, yet comfort was Katharine’s guiding principle when embarking on this project. Personal touches such as artworks, photographs, books, and antiques make the stay even more special for our guests, as it feels as though they are being welcomed into a characterful home. Each room at the castle has been named after Katharine’s siblings, which is where they have slept since childhood.

HOT Magazine

The Doha Pearl Villa Set against the beautiful sapphire crystal-clear waters of the Persian Gulf and facing the Doha skyline, Katharine’s vision for the property was to create a luxurious contemporary design with different room ambiences flowing through each space while maintaining the collective narrative. Inspired by the surrounding ocean landscape, the design exudes a serene elegance, a feeling of timeless luxury, and embraces the outstanding European craftsmanship used throughout the design.

HOT Magazine

French Riviera Villa Located on the cliffs of the French Riviera in a highly desirable area, this luxury, contemporary, private villa with its expansive ground floor is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Clean lines, light, bright finishes, and sumptuous, neutral fabrics create a calm, open and airy ambience, while warm timbers and brushed brass details add that luxurious touch Katharine Pooley and her interior design studio are so renowned for. Layers of neutral, patterned fabrics bring understated elegance to the four-bedroom suites, and Katharine’s travels inspired beautiful stone, agate, and textured accessories and artworks.

Cape Town Villa Overlooking Cape Town’s Camps Bay, this highly contemporary, eight-bedroom villa sits proudly on an impressive cliff edge. With its gravity-defying, cantilevered pool, sweeping architecture, and incredible, uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean, Katharine’s highly contemporary interior design makes this one of the most impressive recent luxury interior designs in South Africa.

Hyde Park Apartment Completely redesigned by Katharine for a returning client, this large, lateral, residential apartment has impressive panoramic views overlooking London’s leafy Hyde Park. Inspired by the property’s Art Deco façade, the luxury interior design incorporates the client’s love of intricate detail and exquisite finishes. With exquisite inlaid bronze details, classic Italian marbles, and high gloss walnut and maple woods, Katharine’s multi-faceted design creates a luxurious feel, with strong, masculine overtones to reflect the glamorous lifestyle of this international client who loves to entertain.

HOT Magazine

Katharine Pooley

The soul of Katharine’s design is a feeling of peace, more than a specific style, and she incorporates the careful layering of colour, texture, and form, which is always personally tailored to the individual client, differing visually every time – and as passionately as Katharine designs for her clients, she matches it with just as much vigour in donating her time to those in need. “I have always tried to keep kindness at the heart of everything I do. Lead a life full of kindness, and the world will be kind back. Generosity spreads joy to both the giver and the receiver; that is what makes it such a wonderful thing!” shares Katharine. Twelve breath-taking new projects are unveiled for the first time on her newly launched website: www.katharinepooley.com. Ranging in scale and style, from traditional country residences to contemporary urban homes, they include futuristic hotels, luxury spas, beach villas, palaces, castles, ski chalets, and yachts.

L et’s Go, Koh Kood

HOT Magazine

HOT MAGAZINE

RECOMMEND

hether you call it Koh Kood or Ko Kut (both are correct), it’s easy to see why this is one of Thailand’s most loved tropical islands. Known for its crystalline waters and incredibly vast shores of white powdery sand, it is what you would expect to see in a movie that takes place on an exotic paradisaic tropical island. Out of all the Thai islands, Koh Kood has been dubbed one of the most beautiful in the Kingdom. Relaxing is the predominate activity on this island, whose unspoiled nature and leisurely local lifestyle are the prime attractions. Located in Trat, in the easternmost point of Thailand, near Cambodia and about 315 kilometres from the capital, Koh Kood is the fourth largest island in the country and the second biggest island in Trat Province after Koh Chang.

HOT Magazine

The island is 25 kilometers in length and 12 kilometers wide, covering nearly 105 square kilometers. Its characteristic highlights are mountains and fields where numerous streams begin and progress toward becoming waterfalls. A definite must-see for those who make it to this piece of paradise. Early settlers of Koh Kood were Thais and Khmers who fled to the island when the French assumed control over the city of Padjantakiri in 1904. Original island settlers lived in Klong Mad Village, whose inhabitants then, and still today, plant rubber and coconut trees as part of their subsistence along with fishing. The biggest village on the island is Ao Yai Village, where you’ll find many fishing boats taking shelter. Furrowed fields have made way to numerous inland creeks, streams, and waterfalls. The Klong Chao Waterfall is likely the most amazing due to its size. With three levels, it enables guests to swim and bathe in the waters all year around. King Rama VI visited in 1911, and gave it the illustrious name “Anamkok Waterfall” in remembrance to Ong Chiang Lue, a Vietnamese ruler who sought shelter in the country amid the reign of King Rama I in the late eighteenth century.

HOT Magazine

While staying on the island, you can have a day trip to snorkel around the island or to nearby islands such as Koh Rang and its vicinities. You can also kayak along the coastal area or the Khlong Chao waterway. Along the River, you will see marine life around the dense mangrove forest area. The shorelines with crystal clear waters are well known amongst guests, especially Taphao Beach, Khlong Chao Beach, Khlong Hin Beach, and Phrao Beach. If you’re wondering where to stay during your visit, there are many hotels and cabins; however, none is as luxurious as the Soneva Kiri resort. Situated on a shoreline that borders the rainforest, the resort features private infinity pool villas, stunning interiors, buggies, and private butlers.

HOT Magazine

The Coastal street keeps running down the west side of the Island round toward the south and cuts over the island and through the wilderness, ending up in Aow Yai. The street is a blend of dirt roads, rough pavement, and newly cemented roads, making it an energizing and engaging course for mountain bikers. This course takes one past Bang Bao and the immaculate Siam shoreline, which is exceptionally enticing to swim in. The street brings you down to another delightful shoreline called Klong Hin; this is where the beachfront begins. The way is steep most of the way up but gives you a stunning perspective of the shorelines – and on a sunny morning, it is possible to see Cambodia. This bluff edge way brings you down to a little angling town with a staggering shoreline called Baan Aow Pharo. At Baan Aow Pharo one begins to head inland and through numerous palm oil plantations (fields of tall coconut trees) and rubber plantations. Aow Pharo, Bang Bao, and Siam Beach are probably the most flawless and confined shorelines you will find in the bay of Thailand.

HOT Magazine

Fishing trips are led by local fishermen who take visitors for an entire day of boat adventures on their customary wooden fishing pontoons. Food and drinks are both included. Since Koh Kood and the encompassing waters are not inclined to big commercial fishing, there is an abundance of fish to be seen when snorkeling or diving. All in all, be it for the splendiferous beauty of its geography or the priceless quality of the beaches in which it lies, Koh Kood is a mustgo destination if your idea of heaven is a tropical island paradise, and whose isn’t?

L et’s Stay,

Soneva Kiri Koh Kood

HOT Magazine

HOT MAGAZINE

RECOMMEND

hen you ask guests who have stayed at the multiaward-winning Soneva Kiri resort on the island of Koh Kood about their stay, you’ll often hear the same response, “It is the best resort in Thailand!” And it’s easy to understand why. Your luxurious vacation adventure starts the moment you board their private eightpassenger airplane in Bangkok for the ninety-minute flight to Koh Kood. Once landed, you are whisked by buggy to their private boat for the short 5-minute ride to their magnificent resort. Upon arrival to the Eco resort, you are advised that Soneva Kiri’s philosophy is “no shoes, no news,” and almost everyone abides by that during their entire stay. There are no hotel rooms. Instead, you’ll find 34 very private villas, each with an oversized infinity-edge swimming pool. The villas are set in various levels and are made of bamboo and tan wood, giving off a definite Robinson Curusoe vibe. And the villas are not modest in size. They have three different one-bedroom villa types that range from 403 to 482 square meters. You’ll also find 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 bedroom villas. The “Six bedroom Sunset Ocean View Pool Reserve” is massive at 2,928 square meters and includes a treehouse, water slide, kitchen, dining area, spa, gym, steam, game & TV rooms.

HOT Magazine

No matter what size villa you book, you will have your own buggy and personal barefoot butler, who is amazingly magnificent at anticipating your wants and desires before you can give voice to them. As a guest, you also have unlimited & unfettered access to their chocolate room called “So Chocoholic,” where day or night you can indulge in an infinite variety of handmade chocolates, petit fours, macaroons, truffles, mousse, and much, much more. Have I mentioned Soneva Kiri’s ice creamery? “So Chilled” is their renowned ice cream parlour that features a free flow wall of more than 60 flavours of homemade sorbet and icecreams just waiting for you. If you desire a little more “savory,” then from 7.30-11.00 pop into their So Deli-cious” venue, where you will find a circular glass vault holding the finest cheeses and cold cuts from around the world, in addition to a menu of gourmet platters ideal for snacking. The only downside to the free-flow chocolate, ice cream, cheese, and cold cuts is that you need to save room to enjoy the many excellent restaurants you’ll find here.

HOT Magazine

Open for dinner only, Kruua Mae Tuk is a must. Also known as Tuk’s Kitchen, you get there by taking one of the resort’s cars or boats. If going by boat, I suggest leaving the resort just before sunset. With the sun setting on the gulf as you travel around the island, and then down a river until you reach the classic, stilted wooden Thai restaurant nestled amongst the mangroves, it’s magical. With a ‘no menu dining concept, Chef Tuk’s vast selection of Thai dishes is inspired by ingredients produced on Koh Kood or the nearby island of Koh Chang and seafood that comes from local fishermen. Their So Spirited restaurant is perched atop a cliff and offers lunch, pre-dinner drinks, and dinner, with spectacular rainforest and ocean views. The View is a restaurant that offers exactly that, breathtaking views across the Gulf of Thailand. Here you’ll experience Nikkei cuisine, a fusion of flavours from Japan and Peru. Chef Christophe effortlessly blends the delicacy and nuance of the Japanese culinary tradition with Peru’s vibrant and zesty flavors.

HOT Magazine

The current train of thought amongst travel experts is that today’s wealthy aren’t looking for luxury as much as they are looking for experiences, those Instagram-able moments they can share with their friends. At Soneva Kiri, those two worlds collide. How’s this for an experience? You and your family settle into a comfortable bamboo pod that is gently hoisted up into the tropical foliage of Koh Kood’s ancient rainforest, where your personal waiter serves you your food and drinks using a zip line. That’s their “Treepod Dining.” A further multitude of dining experiences includes The Dining Room, Chef’s Table, South Beach, The View Laboratory & the Wine Cellar. A favorite at all of Soneva’s resorts is their Cinema Paradiso. Here you are invited to watch classic movies under the stars at their overwater outdoor cinema. They offer complimentary screenings three nights a week and private screenings four nights a week. The experience is enhanced with complimentary gourmet popcorn, their full-service bar, and private dinners. Beautiful sandy beaches surround the resort and most villas. Still, the most special is Soneva Kiri’s very own exclusive private beach, easily accessible by your private buggy, it’s called South Beach, and it offers white powdery sand, clear turquoise coloured water, swings, hammocks, a beach bar/restaurant and swaying palm trees that appear endless. Many guests say it’s the best beach they have ever been to and visit it daily.

If you feel like amping up your adventure after a few days of no shoe relaxation, let them show you Angkor Wat, Soneva Kiri style. It begins with a speedboat trip to Ban Hat Lek, the Cambodian border town. You’ll then be whisked to your very own private helicopter to enjoy the breathtaking views as you fly over the Cardamom Mountain Range, then land at the remarkable 12th Century Angkor Wat Temple complex. As much as Soneva Kiri is a playground for adults, children have not been overlooked. The Den is their incredible, over-the-top children’s club, a giant moulded bamboo playground shaped like a manta ray that’s dedicated to learning, excitement, and to meaningful experiences. Professional childminders pique your children’s imaginations, teaching them to play Thai instruments, unleashing their creative talents with painting and the visual arts, and carefully watching them at play in the wonderous world of moulded bamboo spaces up, down, and around. The six-star Soneva Kiri delights on every single level and hits every high note, and no matter how long you stay, it will never be long enough. The only disappointment I felt was when I finally had to put my shoes back on for the private flight back to Bangkok.
