Song Saa Private Island

Eco-villas in paradise

Song Saa Private Island | Koh Rong Archipelago, Cambodia

 

In the Khmer language, "Song Saa" means "The Lovers." In 2012, this exceptional eco-resort opened in the unspoiled Koh Rong Archipelago under the management of a German couple. Built in the style of a Cambodian fishing village, it is spread across two islands.

Sustainable luxury tourism is at the heart of every aspect of the resort. Here, Robinson Crusoe vibes meet barefoot luxury.

A place in harmony with nature and a tropical retreat with a pristine private beach, where you can disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in your own soul.

The 24 villas (9 water villas, 15 garden and beach villas), built from local materials, vary in size and each have one or two bedrooms. Whichever villa you choose, they all share a wonderful view of the sea, coupled with the discreet and unobtrusive hospitality of the owners and their staff. From the terraces with the 26m² pool and sun terrace, you have an endless view of the sea.

Enjoy thoughtful gourmet cuisine at the seaside restaurant, which combines traditional Cambodian and international dishes and promises a journey through the unique flavors of the region.

The on-site program is rounded off by wellness and activities: the Sanctuary Spa—including Ayurveda—cooking classes, excursions on a private yacht, diving adventures, and traditional Buddhist ceremonies. Nature safaris and environmental protection projects run by the Song Saa Foundation are also on the agenda, as are visits to local villages.

A three-hour drive from Phnom Penh Airport and a 30-minute speedboat ride will take you to paradise.
