Tamu occupies a private parcel of white sand measuring 80 meters along Pagoda Beach on the northwestern coast of the island of Koh Rong. Equipped tents nestled beneath coconut palms, a pool overlooking the sea, and direct access to the island's main thoroughfare: the property balances comfort with the untamed character that defines Koh Rong.

Why choose Tamu Koh Rong

The property brings together three assets rarely found together on Koh Rong: a private beach of generous length, fully equipped tent accommodation (air conditioning, private bathroom, sea-view terrace), and a strategic location on the axis connecting the island's principal beaches. You enjoy the tranquility of an uncrowded beach while remaining connected to the rest of the island.

The glamping tent format remains uncommon in Cambodge. For travelers seeking a more immersive experience than a standard hotel room without sacrificing comfort, it strikes an appealing balance.

Atmosphere and setting

Pagoda Beach is one of Koh Rong's most discrete stretches of sand. White sand, clear waters, coconut palms lining the shore: the setting is quintessentially west-coast Koh Rong, yet without the crowds of Sok San or Coconut Beach. The property unfolds between beach and vegetation, with pathways connecting tents, pool, and a restaurant opening directly onto the sea.

The overall mood is serene, geared more toward couples and travelers seeking respite than a party-minded crowd. Evenings often drift along the pool deck or beneath the stars at the water's edge.

Accommodation

Tamu offers two lodging categories:

• Classic rooms in permanent structures, equipped with standard beach hotel amenities.
• Upscale tents positioned beneath coconut palms, air-conditioned, with private bathroom and sea-facing terrace.

The tents are what sets this place apart. Fabric stretched overhead and enclosed interior equipped with modern comforts: comfort approaches that of a hotel room, yet the sensory experience remains that of a night by the shore.

On-site services

• Pool overlooking the beach
• Restaurant open to the sea (Cambodian and international cuisine)
• Private beach with lounge chairs
• Direct access to the island's main road for reaching other beaches on foot, by bicycle, or scooter

Location and access

The hotel sits on Pagoda Beach along Koh Rong's western coast. Access is from Sihanoukville by boat (approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the operator), followed by transfer to the beach. The property's position allows easy access to the main road serving Coconut Beach to the north and the expansive Sok San Beach to the south.

Nearby attractions

From Pagoda Beach, several options await for exploring the island:

• Sok San Beach: Koh Rong's longest beach, reachable on foot, by bicycle, or scooter via the forest road.
• Coconut Beach: a more lively beach to the north, accessible via the same route.
• Jungle trails: the island's interior remains heavily forested with a few hiking paths worth exploring.
• Bioluminescent plankton: visible on certain nights from west-coast beaches, except during full moon.
