Islands, Sihanoukville and Koh Kong
Choose a beach, the correct boat landing and a practical coastal or Cardamom base.
Sihanoukville: plan the mainland gateway to Cambodia’s islands
Sihanoukville is the coastal city used for many journeys to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. A well-chosen overnight stop, the correct pier and a realistic connection can make the island part of a trip much easier.
Koh Rong or Koh Rong Sanloem: choose a beach, then an island
Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem are separate Cambodian islands. Both offer several kinds of stay, so the familiar “lively island versus quiet island” comparison is too crude to make a good booking.
Koh Kong: choose between the town, rivers, forest and islands
Koh Kong is both a province and the familiar name of its mainland provincial town. Koh Kong Island is a separate destination. Understand that geography first, then choose accommodation around the experience you want.
Where to stay in Sihanoukville: ferry nights, beach hotels and longer visits
The most useful Sihanoukville hotel is the one that matches the reason for your stay. Separate a late-arrival room from a family beach holiday, and compare actual neighbourhoods before comparing photographs.
Where to stay on Koh Rong: a beach-by-beach lodging guide
Koh Rong rewards a deliberate choice of base. Begin with the shore, arrival pier and daily rhythm; then compare hostels, small hotels, bungalows and villa resorts within that area.
Long Set and 4K Beach: resorts, hostels and a workable beach stay
Long Set and 4K refer to the same Koh Rong beach area. Its mix of hotel rooms, resort stays and social accommodation makes it especially useful when you want beach time without choosing one accommodation style for everyone.
Sok San and Long Beach: choosing Koh Rong’s western stay
Sok San and the Long Beach side of Koh Rong appeal to travellers who want to build a holiday around a particular stretch of coast. Location within this area matters as much as the island name.
Saracen Bay: where to stay on Koh Rong Sanloem
Saracen Bay is a useful starting point for comparing Sanloem accommodation: resort rooms, villas and hostel beds are available around one broad bay. The right choice depends on the property, pier and room position.
M’Pai Bay: guesthouses, village life and diving on Sanloem
M’Pai Bay is a village base on Koh Rong Sanloem. Choose it when you want a stay shaped by small accommodation businesses, nearby food options and time around the village rather than a self-contained resort itinerary.
Lazy Beach and Sunset Beach: a more secluded Sanloem stay
Lazy Beach and Sunset Beach are separate western beach areas on Koh Rong Sanloem. Their appeal is the chance to make the immediate shore your destination, with arrival logistics that deserve more attention than a standard hotel transfer.
Cambodia’s island water, coral and beaches: plan a better sea day
Clear water, coral habitats and long beaches are part of Cambodia’s coastal appeal. A good island guide also explains the conditions behind the photographs and helps visitors choose activities that respect the place.
Tatai River Eco-Lodges: Boat Access, Rooms & Booking Checks
A Tatai stay is mainly about the river and the surrounding landscape. Before comparing room photographs, find out how you reach the property and which parts of the stay are included.
Chi Phat: homestays, guesthouses and forest adventures
Chi Phat is a community ecotourism destination in Koh Kong province, in the Cardamom landscape. Its strongest appeal is the combination of village accommodation and locally organised activities, from gentle outings to overnight forest trips.
Cardamom Mountains Eco-Lodges: Location, Transfers & Activities
The Cardamom region is too broad to treat as one hotel district. Choose the landscape and activities you want, then work backwards from the lodge’s actual arrival point.
Cambodia’s private island resorts: Krabey, Song Saa and Koh Russey
Cambodia’s island accommodation extends beyond hostels and beach bungalows. For a resort-focused holiday, compare the island, room format and transfer package as carefully as the view.
