Palm Beach Bungalow Resort

Koh Rong


This sociable spot, popular with youthful adventure-tour groups, has a small private beach and tees up daily waterfall walks and other activities. The stilted bungalows (cold water only) are sturdy and functional, and the bar brims with life and occasional drinking games. Arrive via its private boat from Sihanoukville at 2pm (one-way/round trip US$15/25), or by moto (US$15 from Koh Tuch).

The resort is just opposite US$1000-per-night Song Saa Private Island Resort, a 20-minute walk from the fishing village of Prek Svay.
