Glamping Sites in Sihanoukville

This is the most stripped back of the hostels on Koh ta Kiev but it’s definitely the one with the best vibe. It doesn’t rely solely on backpacking volunteers but employs Khmer staff who are all lovely. Food here is the cheapest on the island, drinks are cheap, great happy hour at 3 every day. Max is a really great host and looks out for everyone. You can stray out for a drink or a swim at the other places on the island but it always felt like home coming back to last point in the evening. We booked for 4 nights and ended up staying one week.

We had a really amazing time on this island! Firstly, the boat trip to get to the island was very well arranged and very nice. They sent us a clear and detailed message and went out of their way to accommodate us when we let them know we might be late. Arriving at the beach of the resort was a real treat. It is so pretty! There is a deck and couches where you can drink cocktails and look at the gorgeous sunset over the ocean. The main restaurant/cabin is also very idyllic, giving a real island vibe with beach sand, hammocks, a fully stocked bar and a fully staffed kitchen. What really drew my attention though was the amount of board games and the list of other activities. There is also yoga and a workshop for making your own things, but we focused more on playing games and having adventures (e.g. snorkelling, hiking etc.). We stayed in a cabin, which was just perfect. In fact, everything in there was just perfect. The bed was huge and soft, with a mosquito net. We were one of the closest cabins to the beach and so had a really amazing view to wake up to every morning. There was a balcony with comfortable chairs where we could relax, admire the view and read a little bit. There was also a hammock close by outside the cabin. When we decided to go swimming one evening at Plankton Beach, we were also blown away by the phosphorescence in the water. The food on the island was ridiculously good with both Cambodian (Khmer) dishes as well as Western cuisine. Overall, we had a really amazing experience and would recommend it to anybody else wanting an island adventure.
