Six Senses Krabey Island, Cambodia

Location

Set amid the emerald waters of Cambodia’s Koh Rong archipelago, Six Senses Krabey Island is a private tropical hideaway just a short speedboat ride from Sihanoukville. The journey begins with a warm welcome at the mainland jetty before guests are whisked across to the island, where 30 acres of lush jungle and pristine shoreline await. Unlike neighbouring destinations that have seen rapid development, this stretch of Cambodia’s southern coast retains an unspoilt charm, offering a rare sense of seclusion. From here, guests can explore the region’s fishing villages, mangrove forests and vibrant coral reefs, or simply revel in the tranquillity of island life.

Accommodation

The resort features 40 free-standing pool villas, each thoughtfully designed to blend into the natural canopy. Interiors pair light woods and soft linens with floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring uninterrupted views of the gardens or ocean. Sustainability is central: villas incorporate green living roofs, energy-efficient design, and the brand’s pioneering Sleep With Six Senses standards for restorative rest. Spacious decks and private infinity pools invite relaxation, while bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and outdoor showers add a touch of indulgence. Whether nestled in the jungle or perched above the shoreline, every villa offers a cocoon of privacy and barefoot luxury.

Dining

Dining at Six Senses Krabey Island is a celebration of Cambodia’s rich culinary heritage, complemented by international favourites. Aha Restaurant serves vibrant Khmer-inspired dishes alongside fresh seafood, while Sunset Bar is the perfect spot for cocktails with panoramic ocean views. Guests can also enjoy private dining experiences, from starlit dinners on the beach to chef-led cooking classes that showcase local flavours. The resort’s commitment to sustainability extends to its organic farm, which supplies seasonal produce for menus that are as wholesome as they are inventive.

Facilities

True to the Six Senses ethos, wellness is at the heart of the island experience. The Six Senses Spa offers a comprehensive menu of treatments, from traditional Khmer massages to multi-day rejuvenation programmes and yoga classes. Guests can also explore Cambodian healing therapies and mindfulness workshops. Beyond the spa, facilities include a fitness centre, outdoor cinema, and water sports such as kayaking and snorkelling. Sustainability initiatives run throughout the resort, from coral reef conservation to plastic-free policies, ensuring that indulgence is balanced with responsibility. For those seeking deeper immersion, curated excursions introduce the culture and landscapes of Cambodia’s southern coast.
