Marine Life
With an abundance of incredible marine life, snorkelling and scuba-diving are perfect for exploring the south coast's waters. Offered throughout various islands, snorkelling and scuba-diving take place on boat trips, whilst hiring a kayak gives the opportunity to explore untouched coves and coral reefs. Discover miniature eco-systems, vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish and seahorses in abundance on an unforgettable marine adventure. Come sunset, hop on a boat to see the magical glowing plankton. Like the starry sky, the bioluminescent plankton are best seen where there is little light pollution, creating a mesmerising experience of the sparkling dark ocean under a clear, star-lit sky.

The powdered white sands scattered across the southern coast of Cambodia and the Koh Rong Archipelago make up some of the most picturesque beaches in the country. Our featured luxury private islands boast some of the most idyllic and tranquil stretches of sand, perfect for unwinding and soaking up the sunshine.
