Best Secluded Hotels in Cambodia

This Cambodian island resort offers accommodation in the form of thatched jungle or overwater villas, with romantic muslin-slung four-poster beds and rustic wooden decks. It’s the perfect honeymoon destination; secluded and private, with isolated white beaches and coral reefs. Staff can arrange extras such as a monk’s blessing, a flower bath, an in-villa barbecue, couples’ massages and sunset cruises. Take a seat on an oversised bean bag at the seafront Vista Bar and Restaurant; eat on the beach at Driftwood Bar; or dine just the two of you in a hidden pocket of the resort.

An all-villa resort, the accommodation here comes thatched, often with multiple bedrooms and huge private pools. A further pool is found ocean-side, filled with saltwater and with a lake-like appearance (black lining keeps the water warm). The Senses Spa incorporates a steam room, jacuzzi and indoor spa pool, with treatment rooms and an outdoor sala. Play football and volleyball on Sok San Beach, take part in yoga sessions and dine in the wooden pavilion by candlelight, as you gaze out to sea. A direct boat service runs to the hotel and there’s a resort car on hand for island exploration.

Guests at Phum Baitang Resort are treated to a unique way to explore Khmer culture without even having to stir from their sun lounger. This impressive luxury resort has been modelled on a traditional Cambodian village and comes complete with wooden villas that are reminiscent of local farm houses and are set in a lush rice field scattered with palm trees. Some of the villas boast private swimming pools and guests are treated to a butler service. While the onsite restaurant is excellent, there will be no need for guests to move a muscle as they can choose to have their choice of dishes brought right to them on their private veranda.
