There are very few places that offer a complete immersion in nature with utmost privacy while you’re still being pampered and all the modern luxuries of a 5-star resort are at your fingertips.
One such place is Song Saa, a private island resort in Cambodia where you are truly detached from the rest of the world and get to enjoy life’s modern indulgences.
Located on an island in the Koh Rong archipelago of Cambodia, about a 45-minute speedboat ride from the Sihanoukville Port (which is a 25-minute drive from the Sihanoukville International Airport), Song Saa is a true tropical paradise where you can enjoy and do as much or as little as you want.
The resort’s general philosophy revolves around sustainability, so you’ll see reclaimed timber and upcycled driftwood used as decks, benches, tables, and even lamps, utilized on the 24 exclusive villas that are peppered throughout the property.
Imagine thatched-roof villas over water, nestled on seafront jungles shaped as enclaves, and oceanfront villas that offer unbelievable sunsets as if you’re the only people in the world. Song Saa delivers a respite from all the stresses of modern life and brings you to a place where serenity, indulgence, and absolute luxury are all yours to enjoy.When it comes to villa choices, there are 4 options to choose from: the Jungle villas, the Ocean villas, the Overwater villas, and the Royal villa. All accommodation comes with king size four-post beds that face the horizon, oversized sunken bathtubs, both indoor and outdoor showers, wardrobes, lounge areas, 40” satellite TV, WiFi, iPod docks, Bose sound systems, and each have a private pool where sipping cocktails with the ocean in front of you is a decadent indulgence.

It has a complete dining area that seats 12, with king size beds in each room, an outdoor deck with day beds, and the villa comes with a private chef and dedicated guest experience ambassador to arrange excursions and activities personalized to suit your needs.

For your culinary pleasures, a restaurant on the resort serves both Western and Cambodian cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients, freshly picked produce from the island’s farms, and seafood brought in daily from local fishing villages. The Vista Restaurant is perched over water and open on all sides to give you a breezy dining experience. It also features a bar for sunset cocktails and nightcaps.
When you’ve just finished an afternoon swim on the resort’s private pristine, white beach, the Driftwood Bar – serving snacks, drinks, and cocktails from the early morning to the late evening – is the perfect place to refresh and refill.
Aside from swimming, among the vast options for activities on the resort include a speedboat hire for water excursions, scuba diving, kayaking, snorkeling, and set-up picnics or dinners by the beach. Outside the villa, there are very few options for activities except for immersions in local cultures such as visits to a conservation center or witnessing a Buddhist blessing ceremony.
Relaxing treatments are offered at The Song Saa Sanctuary, where yoga and meditation sessions are available, as well as spa massage treatments and therapies.
Song Saa Private Island is a top luxury destination when you feel the urge of wanting to get away from it all but still having modern indulgences that make any vacation truly spectacular.
