A giant moulded bamboo playground shaped like a manta ray hovering high amidst the treetops, the Den at Soneva Kiri is dedicated to Learning, Inspiring and Fun Experiences (LIFE). Designed by internationally acclaimed Dutch architect Olav Bruin, the Den was built using locally sourced bamboo from the north of Trat. In its belly are dedicated rooms for arts and crafts, music and games – each distinct and featuring natural finishes – as well as a library with a catamaran-style netting floor with overstuffed cushions. Windows in the flooring peek down to the forest floor below, however, its pièce de resistance is the entrance, which features a drawbridge that leads up to a wave of stairs, creating a feeling of excitement and anticipation on arrival. Professional childcarers are on hand to pique children’s imaginations, teaching them to play Thai instruments, unleashing their creative talents with painting and more.
Please Note:
The Den is complimentary for children aged 5-12 years old.
Children under the age of five are also welcome to join if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Alternatively, babysitting services can be booked with prior notice 24 hours (one day) in advance and subject to a charge of THB 850 per child, per hour.
