Kaoh Rong Sanloem island - all beaches

This idyllic beach resort is truly deserving of a five-star rating. The breathtaking sunset view can be enjoyed from every angle of the resort, making for a truly unforgettable experience. The Khmer cuisine served here is simply divine, with the fish amok and fish in lemon sauce being particular highlights. The owners and staff are incredibly warm and accommodating, always willing to lend a helping hand. If you need assistance with booking or finding transportation to the island, simply give them a call before your arrival. The 15-minute walk through the lush jungle to reach this hidden paradise is a treat in itself, but if you have a heavy bag, don't hesitate to let them know and they will happily deliver it to your room.

When it comes to beaches in Cambodia, Sarasen beach at Rong Sanleoum is the ultimate choice. The sand is white and the water is crystal clear, making you feel like you're in paradise. However, it can be a bit pricey since food and supplies are imported from the mainland. It takes about 25 minutes by speedboat from Sihanouk Ville town, but it's definitely worth it to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

This beach is nothing but a disappointment. It can be reached by either taking the Speed Ferry Company or by embarking on a grueling beach walk and jungle trek that takes a whole hour from Mpay Bei. If you're foolish enough to attempt the trek, I suggest doing it in the morning before the sun starts blazing down on you. And if you're lucky, the tide might be in and you'll have to wade through knee-deep water for a whole kilometer. What a nightmare! And for what? To reach a beach that's hardly worth the effort.

This beach is a true gem, with crystal clear waters and an uncrowded atmosphere that makes it feel like a hidden treasure. Despite the presence of a small local house, the beach retains an untouched quality that is hard to come by. The journey to the beach is no easy feat, as it requires a challenging hike along the road to the lighthouse. If you're planning to visit for sunset, make sure to come prepared with hiking boots and a light, as the rocky and muddy terrain can be tough to navigate, especially through the dense jungle. While the beach itself is a paradise, it's important to note that there is some trash that has washed ashore. However, you'll also find a variety of unique shells that you won't come across on Lazy Beach. Just be mindful of any policies regarding taking them. Unlike other parts of the island that have been affected by development, the water here remains crystal clear and unpolluted. Overall, this beach is well worth the effort of the hike. You may even have the entire beach to yourself, making it a truly special experience.

The atmosphere is the highlight of this beach, which perfectly suits the area. The locals are friendly, there's a tight-knit community, and the cuisine is delectable. Simply unwind and savor the moment!

I suggest staying at this beach if you want to enjoy the complete sunset view. However, it can be risky to walk back to the other side of the island after the sun sets.
