Song Saa Island – A tropical haven near Vietnam that has eluded your wanderlust radar

Before contemplating exotic getaways, perhaps you should conquer Cambodia – the country adjacent to Vietnam, known as the 'beautiful, unique, and affordable' travel paradise. Beyond Angkor Wat and Koh Rong, Cambodia harbors a love island, hailed as beautiful as paradise and shrouded in mystery. It's called Song Saa.

In Khmer, Song Saa translates to 'lover' – a charming name for an island brimming with beauty. Untouched yet full of dreams and romance, Song Saa exudes an atmosphere that makes visitors feel completely detached from the outside world. Just the azure sea, white sand, a vast sky overhead, and the breathtaking sunset or star-studded night sky are enough to satisfy any traveler here!

How to get there?

Situated on two islands, Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, within the Koh Rong archipelago, Song Saa is a haven that demands a journey to the coastal city of Sihanoukville by either plane or bus. The resort facilitates seamless transfers with complimentary services from Sihanoukville International Airport and boat rides from the city to Song Saa.

Where is it?

Accommodation choices at Song Saa offer a unique selection between overwater villas and villas nestled in the jungle. Each villa embraces indigenous architectural design, featuring a private pool and one to two bedrooms. The beds and baths in these villas almost universally offer breathtaking sea views, a thoughtful arrangement sure to delight any traveler!

The resort offers a range of services, including spa treatments, sunbathing on the beach, exploring pristine forest areas, snorkeling to admire coral reefs, surfing, or kayaking. A small note: it's advisable to book about 4 months in advance to secure your reservation.

What to Enjoy at Song Saa?

Firstly, with the heavenly scenery and pleasant atmosphere, there's no reason not to immerse yourself in the pool or stretch out on the white sandy beach, momentarily forgetting the outside world. Then, there are breathtaking moments like the onset of sunset, where the sky gradually changes hues and dims, or the night sky sparkling with thousands of stars, all worthy of a gaze and pure enjoyment.

Explore the enchanting Prek Sway fishing village and the entire island with the guidance of the resort staff to discover the cultural beauty here. While an outdoor barbecue might be a familiar choice, it's also a great suggestion.
