Cambodia is a fabulous destination, with a brilliant blend of bustling city life in Phnom Penh, marvellous ancient ruins at Angkor Wat and gorgeous white-sand beaches along the undulating coastline. Although many travellers choose to experience a little bit of everything, we think that it's worth taking some extra time to soak up the magic of Cambodia's burgeoning selection of beach hotels. So whether you're dreaming of discovering the buzzy hotspot of Sihanoukville, relaxing at coastal Kep or hiding away on the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Russey, this little Asian nation has it all. Expect powder-white sands, clear seas for snorkelling, diving, sailing, kayaking and fishing, and characterful small hotels and resorts with friendly teams and beautiful rooms. Check out our Gurus' pick of the best beach hotels in Cambodia for our top spots!
Kep (Cambodia)
Adhering to the philosophical ideas of Wabi-Sabi, this hotel delights in simplicity. Earthy tones and clean lines define its design-driven aesthetic, but there’s nothing understated about the sensational crimson sunsets that light up the sky. Sink into the pool-side sofas and let the world pass by.

Koh Rong (Krong Preah Sihanouk)
