Koh Rong Sanloem - Islands
Being considered as the sister island of Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloem is smaller, quieter and slightly more chill-out. It can be reached by 30-minute speedboat from Sihanouk Ville or via 20-minute ferry from Koh Rong.
The eastern side of the island boasts the heart-shaped Saracen Bay – the most developed bay on the island. With calm turquoise surf and eye-blinding white sand beaches, there are more than a dozen choice of accommodation from simple wooden bungalows to luxury beachfront villas.
On the other side of the island, Lazy Beach and Sunset Beach offer a more secluded getaway feel. These gorgeous yellow sand beaches are perfect for relaxing on the hammock all day long and watching the pink and purple sunsets over the water every afternoon.
For those looking for something completely different, M’Pai Bay fishing village is a great suggestion. Located on the island’s northern tip, this small fishing village is where you can interact with friendly local fishermen and learn more about their daily life. Don’t expect to find high quality resorts or enjoy gorgeous white sand here because this is more a beach laid-back with a true local vibe. Several inexpensive accommodations have been opened up within this friendly fishing village.
The dreamy tropical paradise Koh Rong Sanloem has white sand beaches, turquoise waters and sprawling jungle just a few steps from the shore. Here you can snorkel, dive and swim, or take a jungle hike. If coming here between April and July, you may have chance to stroll along the shoreline as your footsteps light up the bioluminescent plankton.
