Overview
South of Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem is a smaller island with even quieter, more pristine nature. The crescent-shaped white-sand Saracen Bay is widely considered Cambodia's best beach, while the Lazy Jungle hides giant mango trees and secret beaches. At night, an unspoiled starry sky and bioluminescent plankton appear, making it a favorite honeymoon destination. Speedboat about USD 25-30 (one way). About 45 minutes from Sihanoukville.
Opening Hours
Speedboats depart 08:00-15:00 (varies by operator)
Travel Tips
For a digital detox, stay at a Saracen Bay boutique resort. Wi-Fi is limited — don't bring work.
