Cambodia's only deep-water port and beach city, gateway to island-hop from the Gulf of Thailand to Koh Rong.

📍 Destination Overview

Sihanoukville is Cambodia's main port and beach city on the Gulf of Thailand, with several palm-shaded sand beaches. Its true draw lies offshore. Within an hour by boat, the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem boast Cambodia's whitest sand and clearest water, with blue bioluminescent plankton glowing on lucky nights — a paradise escape from the crowds.
