The Royal Sands Koh Rong

Set on Cambodia’s second largest island, Koh Rong, spanning a vast stretch of soft white sand beachfront and looking out across unspoilt views of the Gulf of Thailand, this blissfully remote corner of Cambodia allows guests to reconnect with a more serene way of life.

Located an less than an hour by private boat from Sihanoukville, the resort is home to 67 villas, including Ocean View and Beachfront Villas, both with and without pools, plus three larger options that include two or three bedrooms. Cool and contemporary, all of the villas feature spacious bedrooms, outdoor rain showers and ocean views or direct beach access, while the Ocean and Beachfront Pool Villas have the added luxury of an outdoor sala and private pool.

Savour exceptional cuisine with flavours of South East Asia in the open-air Ocean Restaurant and enjoy leisurely lunches, sundowners and relaxed oceanfront dinners in The Chill. Retreat to the Senses Spa set over tranquil ponds and complete with a glass floor so that you can be lulled by the sight of tropical fish as you enjoy a range of traditional and modern therapies. Practise Yoga in the pavilion or cool off in the beachfront swimming pool, complete with ‘nests’ in the water for you to seek shade from the midday sun. Feel invigorated with a range of island activities, such as snorkelling and diving, kayaking through the mangroves, or mountain biking and trekking through the lush island interior. You can also discover the joy of island hopping to nearby islands.
