Steung Treng Resort occupies a singular location north of Steung Treng town, deep in the forest on the banks of the Mekong, facing Koh Snam Chey island. The wooden bungalows overlook the river and its alluvial forests, in a little-visited part of northeastern Cambodge.

Why choose Steung Treng Resort

• Forest setting on the direct banks of the Mekong, facing Koh Snam Chey
• 12 wooden bungalows, private terrace with hammock overlooking the river
• Restaurant opening onto the Mekong and traditional Khmer cuisine
• River cruises and fishing excursions organized by the hotel
• Ideal base for exploring a still off-the-beaten-path province

Atmosphere

The property takes a straightforward approach: wood, plenty of trees, and the Mekong as backdrop. The bungalows are scattered throughout the vegetation, which minimizes overlooking neighbors and preserves a sense of calm, even when the hotel is fully booked. The ambient sound comes mainly from the river and the surrounding wildlife. Evenings are best spent on the terrace, watching the passage of fishermen's boats.

The bungalows

The hotel offers 12 bungalows divided into 4 categories (3 bungalows per category): simple standard, double standard, simple deluxe, and double deluxe. All feature air conditioning and a terrace equipped with a hammock, overlooking the Mekong.

The interiors are entirely wooden. Bathrooms include a bathtub and towels arranged on wooden racks. Breakfast can be served in your room upon request, perfect for enjoying the terrace at sunrise.

Dining and services

The restaurant is set outdoors, beneath a large wooden roof overlooking the Mekong's banks. The dining area can accommodate over thirty guests. The menu highlights Khmer cuisine: fish amok, loc lac, phlea sach koh, and more.

The team organizes several activities departing from the hotel:

• Short or long Mekong cruises, with stops on sandbars
• Fishing outings on the river
• Meetings with riverside communities, accompanied by a local guide

Location

The resort is located just a few minutes' drive from central Steung Treng, the capital of the province of the same name in northeastern Cambodge. The region marks the transition between the central plains and the highland borderlands of Laos. Access is typically by road from Kratie to the south, or from the Laotian border crossing to the north.

What to do nearby

• Irrawaddy dolphin spotting on the Mekong, in season
• Visit to waterfalls and rapids north of the province, toward the Laotian border
• Excursion to Koh Snam Chey, the forested island just across from the hotel
• Discovery of Steung Treng's central market and temples

If you extend your trip to the coast or elsewhere in Cambodge, you might also explore Treehouse Bungalows, Veranda Natural Resort, or Anaya Koh Rong for other nature-focused experiences.
