Zero-Emissions Hotels

The Eco Villa at Thailands Sonerva Kiri Resort is Off the Grid

Sonerva Kiri is a luxury resort in Thailand that's created a completely zero-emissions, eco-friendly villa for guests to experience. The villa is entirely made from local building materials and is off the grid.

The Sonerva Kiri Eco Villa looks a bit like a cave with its green roof and naturally ventilated walls. The floor is made from compacted mud and the furniture within the Eco Villa is made from driftwood from the ocean. This Sonerva Kiri Eco Villa is pretty amazing; not only is it good for the world, but it's pretty stunning as well.
