Islands of Cambodia Guides
Koh Russey, Koh Krabey and Koh Ouen (Song Saa) - Islands
Koh Russey or literally named Bamboo Island used to serve exclusively as an outspot for the Cambodian Navy. However, the rising tourist development in Sihanouk Ville brought tourism to the island. At this moment, the low-density Koh Russey Villas and Resort is only one place to stay on the island. This luxury resort blends seamlessly into the surrounding nature with a maximum of two storeys and set well back from the beach. Its 1.2 km beach is deep cleaned and water is crystal clear. Only 15 percent of the land area has been developed and most of the jungle has been preserved.
With the design inspired by the tradition geometry of the Cambodian Krama fabric, this ideal natural retreat boasts 50 luxurious pavilions and 13 pool villas. Besides beach infinity pool, fitness center, spa and yoga studio, the resort offers plenty of sea, beach and land excursions ideal for couples, families with children and friends.
Song Saa – the first luxury private island resort in Cambodia, is located in Koh Ouen. The resort actually spans over two neighboring islands – Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, and ringed by calm clear waters. This high-end eco-friendly resort consists of 24 vast thatched roof villas in a contemporary-tropical style, with cool stone walls and four-poster beds wrapped in blousy muslin.
All villas possess private pools with sizes ranging from 26sqm to 33sqm. Lists of activities to enhance private island experience include snorkeling & scuba diving, sea kayaking, yoga & meditation, island safari, Buddhist ceremonies. The spa concept in Song Saa is “spa with no walls”. It’s actually made up of little ‘sanctuaries’ dotted across the island, where treatments take place nestled in nature.
Off Cambodia’s southwestern coast is tropical paradise Koh Krabey. From Ream National Park’s pier in Sihanouk Ville, tourists can access this island by only 15-minute boat ride. This transfer is included with your stay in the uber-luxurious Six Senses Krabey Island Resort. Opening in early 2019, this health-focused resort features 40 private free-standing pool villas that blend into the natural vegetation. While staying there, in-house guests can experience various water-based activities, boat trips and tailored wellness programs.
The boardwalks across the island connect lush surrounds punctuated by small secluded beaches, natural sea pools, organic farms, and cozy coves. Many a handful of romantic spots around you afford the colorful displays over the water as the sun sinks below the horizon.
The dry season (November – May) is the season for beach bum to hit Cambodia’s islands. During this period, Khmer Kingdom’s tropical islands bask in brilliant sunshine with clear turquoise blue waters. The weather is relatively pleasant and low chance of rain. The months of November to February coincides with Cambodia’s peak tourist season when travelers look for relaxing beach vacation to take advantage of the lack of rain and relative cool.
