Best Hotels in Koh Rong

Forget the crowds. Koh Rong is a Cambodian island where dense jungle meets some of the whitest sand beaches in Southeast Asia. The main draw is its dual personality: you can party on Long Set Beach in the evening, then hike through the Prek Svay rainforest to find isolated coves like Sok San Beach the next day. Nights here are famous for bioluminescent plankton that lights up the water with a soft, blue glow.

Most visitors stay around the main pier area in Koh Touch or the slightly more relaxed Long Set Beach, perfect for backpackers and young travelers seeking a social scene. Couples often prefer the quieter stretches of Sok San or the bungalows near Coconut Beach. Reaching the island involves a ferry from Sihanoukville, with the journey taking about 45 minutes to two hours depending on your chosen service. This is a destination for disconnecting and adventure, not for business travel or high-end luxury.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around ten accommodation options ranging from basic beachfront hostels to a handful of mid-range boutique hotels. The selection is dominated by affordable guesthouses and simple bungalows, with a few more comfortable hotels offering air-conditioned rooms. It’s wise to book ahead in peak season, as the best spots fill up quickly.
