Koh Krabey is one of those paradisiacal islands located off the coast of Sihanoukville. Just about fifteen kilometers from the Cambodian shoreline, this serene island lies outside the bustling seaside town but remains easily accessible, being very close to the airport. Sheltered from the southern winds and nestled among other nearby islands such as Koh Chanloh, Koh Russey, and Koh Ta Kiev, Koh Krabey is a small haven of natural beauty. It is home to a single, exceptional resort: Six Senses. Officially opened in March 2019, this eco-conscious resort offers a collection of villas that elegantly blend charm and environmental sustainability.
Access to Koh Krabey and the Six Senses resort is through a private jetty located just eight kilometers from Sihanoukville International Airport. A short boat transfer brings you to the tranquil shores of this magnificent island in just a few minutes. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by pristine white-sand beaches, crystalline waters that shimmer under the sunlight, and a dense canopy of tropical trees—creating an immediate sense of seclusion and serenity. It's a place where one instantly feels at peace, far removed from the worries of everyday life.
As you step into the resort, you are immediately struck by its immaculate presentation, minimalist design, and natural elegance. The attentive staff will make you feel so welcome, you may never want to leave—be it after a few days, weeks, or even longer. Whether lounging at the bar, enjoying the pool, admiring the décor and traditional kramas, or observing the intricate craftsmanship of local artisans, you are surrounded by beauty at every turn. And like many other islands in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Krabey offers far more than just swimming and sunbathing.
Guests can embark on boat excursions to explore the surrounding waters, try their hand at fishing, or snorkel through vibrant coral reefs with flippers, a mask, and a snorkel. For those who prefer to stay on land, scenic coastal walks and hikes through the island’s lush and preserved vegetation are a must. You may also visit a fully operating organic farm and engage with the local community—always smiling and warm, just like elsewhere in Cambodia. Upon your return, why not challenge yourself with a Khmer cooking class? Try your hand at preparing some of the local specialties you’ve tasted during your stay. It’s a truly moving and enriching experience, set against an enchanting backdrop.
