1) Koh Rong: the best known and busiest

Only an hour by boat from Sihanoukville, Koh Rong is the biggest and most famous of the Cambodian islands.

Just a few kilometres from the coast, Koh Krabey is home to a single hotel: The Six Senses Krabey Island, an environmentally friendly luxury resort. If you're looking for an upmarket stay, privacy or a break in the heart of nature, this island is ideal. Enjoy treatments at the spa and admire the spectacular views over the Gulf of Thailand.

4) Koh Russey: discreet chic

Koh Russey is an island that combines elegance and nature. Preserved and peaceful, it offers golden sandy beaches, lush vegetation and an intimate atmosphere. The accommodation on offer is deliberately limited, concentrating on a few top-of-the-range establishments, guaranteeing rare tranquillity and exclusivity.
