Maldives of Cambodia - 5 Star Private Island

Song Saa is a private island resort of Cambodia providing ultra-luxurious villas designed into the jungle over the sea. The food is fabulous, there’s a soporific spa, and a ravishingly restful atmosphere. Rates are expensive, but include all meals and most drinks. Worth saving up for. Location This teeny-tiny resort, opened in 2012, is dotted across 2 islands within the secluded Koh Rong archipelago. The surroundings is pristine, with untouched stretches of golden sands circled above by colourful hornbills, and around by clear calm waters teeming with tropical fish. It’s somewhat of an odyssey to get here though - you’ll got to take an internal flight from Siem Reap or a four-hour road trip from Phnom Penh, followed by a 30-minute ride on the resort’s motorboat from the port city of Sihanoukville. Style and character Song Saa combines luxury and a strong conservationist philosophy without pretensions. Sitting within the middle of a 100-hectare marine reserve (w...

Koh Rong - The Biggest of the Islands

Koh Rong is the biggest island off the coast of Sihanoukville within the Gulf of Thailand that stretches from southeast to north-west, roughly elongate form and it encompasses an area of 78 square km.

The southern coastline - exposed to the weather and open sea, is especially spectacular, whereas the eastern coast that faces towards the land is characterised by a sequence of sleek hills, gently sloping towards the vari...
