Few imagine that Cambodia's coastlines and islands are true little paradises on earth, yet Cambodia has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to dream beaches. Cambodia's islands do not enjoy the same renown as their Thai neighbors and thus retain all their authenticity.

Far from mass tourism, it is possible to spend sunny vacations on paradisiacal beaches in complete tranquility. Here's an overview of the most beautiful islands in Cambodia for a relaxing getaway with family or your significant other.

Koh Rong Island

Koh Rong Island is located in the Gulf of Thailand approximately 2 hours from the Sihanoukville coast. This pristine island remains unspoiled by mass tourism despite being considered one of Cambodia's most beautiful islands.

Kilometers of white sand, turquoise waters, coral reefs, lush jungle, and warm-hearted locals await you for an unforgettable stay.

Beachfront restaurants will serve you delicious dishes prepared with fresh fish and seafood or exquisite curries.

Koh Rong Samloem

Smaller than Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem also reveals itself with magnificent dream beaches and turquoise waters. Highly isolated, this island immerses you in a dreamlike landscape that many never imagined discovering in Cambodia.

Enjoy fine sandy beaches all to yourself and relax in the shade of coconut palms. For honeymoon getaways, Koh Rong Samloem is the perfect destination.

Koh Tonsay or Rabbit Island

Contrary to what its name might suggest, you won't find rabbits on this small island located 30 minutes by boat from Kep.

Rabbit Island reveals itself with a very laid-back atmosphere. Hammock naps and waterside strolls punctuate the days. You can walk around the entire island discovering beaches, villages, and the surrounding flora.

Koh Ta Kiev, the Lost Island

For those who love adventure and back-to-basics getaways, this small pristine island is the ideal spot. You can camp on the beach, facing the sea. No amenities are available, but finding yourself alone on this little paradise will give you the impression the island belongs to you.

You can enjoy the beaches and turquoise waters to relax and indulge in some snorkeling sessions. As night falls, witness fabulous sunsets overlooking the sea.

Koh Thmei

The small island of Koh Thmei located in the Ream National Park is a little paradise very few tourists know about. Overlooking mangrove forests, the island boasts magnificent pristine beaches. The island has only two small villages where you can meet the few inhabitants who live mainly from fishing.

Koh Seh

Koh Seh is an almost deserted island that will delight marine life enthusiasts. Here, you'll be able to swim alongside dolphins, turtles, or even dugongs. As night falls, discover the magic of fluorescent plankton illuminating the water's surface.
