Island Accommodations

Many of the accommodations are quite rustic - wooden bungalows and rooms on the beach, though more mid and upper range places are becoming available. It's best to reserve a room in advance, especially in the high season. On the busier beaches you can often find a vacancy but the selection may be limited. If you are not staying on one of the beaches serviced by the ferry, ask your guesthouse about a transport to their beach or island.

Koh Rong Island (Map of Koh Rong)

The largest and most developed of the islands is Koh Rong, located 40-50 minutes by express ferry or 2.5 hours by standard ferry. This island is one of the most beautiful in the archipelago, with miles of white sand beaches, gently swaying palms and tropical fruit orchards. It also has one of the most ‘developed’ beaches - Koh Toch - at least in terms of the number of bungalows, guesthouses and restaurants.


Koh Rong offers dozens of guesthouses and bungalows and more are springing up every day, ranging from dormitories and inexpensive home stays to flashpacker accommodations and fancier, well-appointed family-sized bungalows.

The Islands... A side destination from Sihanoukville just a couple of years ago, the islands of the Koh Rong (map) Archipelago have become destinations in their own right. Set in the turquoise-blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand 40-50 minutes off the Sihanoukville coast, the two big islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem are the most popular. Both have yet to see major development and though there are bungalows and resorts dotting most of the beaches, the islands still maintain a laid-back rustic charm not easily found elsewhere. The smaller islands of the archipelago like Koh Thmei and Koh Ta Kiev are completely undeveloped and offer a true Robinson Crusoe atmosphere. Most of the islands are slated for major development, so if you're looking to appreciate the rustic atmosphere, go sooner rather than later.
