Cambodia has very few good beach holiday options, let alone luxury beach resorts, but the opening of Song Saa Private Island Resort opened a new chapter in Cambodia's tourism industry.

Cambodia’s first luxury private island resort features just 27 luxury villas, all built with sustainable materials to blend in with the unspoilt natural setting on two pristine white sand fringed islands just 30 minutes by speedboat from the Cambodian town of Sihanoukville.

With direct flights from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville on the coast, the islands of southern Cambodia are now much more accessible and easily combined with a visit to Angkor Wat.

Song Saa Private Island Resort consists of two interconnected islands lying side-by-side in Cambodia’s untouched Koh Rong island group. Song Saa offers untouched rainforests, glorious white sandy beaches and a protected marine reserve – ideal for swimming and snorkelling with super-clear water and lots of marine life.

Accommodation at Song Saa comprises luxurious over-water, beach, or ocean view villas. Décor is a mix of slick modern design with rustic touches, with a use wherever possible of recycled materials such as driftwood and timber from abandoned factories. The effect is natural and homely luxury.

Song Saa offers plenty of activities and excursions, including sailing, diving with the resort’s marine biologists, kayaking, or a variety of spa & wellness treatments, including yoga.

Making use of sustainably produced local ingredients wherever possible, celebrating the natural gifts of the islands in a delicate fusion of traditional Khmer cuisine and western influences, Song Saa’s menus draw inspiration from the chosen site of the dining experience. In a unique concept, Song Saa tailors dining to match the various charms of each location on the island.

The overwater restaurant features contemporary Cambodian cuisine. In Villa experiences draw upon more traditional and homely Khmer dishes.

Locations dining on fishing boats, on the beach or at the beach bar offer a relaxed and rustic feel.

Vista Restaurant and Lounge

On stilts above the water, this is Song Saa’s dining venue for al-fresco dining and cocktails.

Driftwood Bar Sundowners

Driftwood Bar is open throughout the day for a beer or a light lunch from the Raw menu. Picture emerging from the water after a dive on a private reef to find cold beers or the perfect glass of chilled wine awaiting.

Cocktails flow each evening to coincide with the spectacular sunset. Sit and chat to the chefs as they prepare wonderful tapas and snacks from the wood-fired oven and BBQ. Reserve a spot here for a Private Beach Dinner later in the evening.

Guest BBQ In Villa

A coal pot BBQ set up on the deck with the full range of selected ingredients, marinades and salads to create and ‘cook your own’.
