Six Senses Krabey Island Mainland, Cambodia

Beyond the Angkor complex and Siem Reap, Cambodia is also endowed with beautiful coastlines, important conservation areas, and a significant number of heritage and cultural sites, many of which are easily accessible from Six Senses Krabey Island. With the mainland reception just a 10-minute drive from Sihanouk International Airport, it is then a short 15-minute water transfer to the resort to enjoy cultural, wellness, sporting, and signature dining experiences.

The resort will reopen on December 2 with a renewed focus on community-based experiences to interact with locals, nature, and wildlife. Guests booking the Festive Getaway by November 30 will save 20 percent on the Best Flexible Rate.

The 40 spacious pool villas offer a private island hideaway feel without forgoing guestroom amenities, guest services, and a spa, which crowns the island and offers a wide range of holistic rejuvenation therapies. Days are as hands-on as guests like. A visit to the organic garden on the mainland includes a pick-your-own lunch. The Hook, Line, and Catch experience starts with an ethical fishing line in hand. A Spice Trail trip to the Kampot meanders past paddy fields and houses on stilts to an authentic pepper-infused lunch at La Plantation. Time-honored tips can be acquired during a Khmer Cooking Class.

Set in Krabey Island, Six Senses Krabey Island features fisherman’s house-style accommodation with a private beach area. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also boasts two restaurants, sunset bar, beachfront sundeck and an outdoor pool. At the resort, rooms come with a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. At Six Senses Krabey Island, the rooms have a seating area and floor-to-ceiling windows. A buffet breakfast is served each morning at the property. Guests can relax in the sauna, herbal steam tent or enjoy Khmer foot massage at the spa. A fitness center and daily yoga session are also available at Six Senses Krabey Island. Activities include excursions to surrounding areas, a night sky observatory and open-air cinema. Kids’ club is also available. Occheuteal Beach is 11 km from the accommodation, while Serendipity Beach is 12 km away. The nearest airport is Sihanoukville International Airport, 7.9 km from the property.

There is a range of villas, from the Hideaway (perfect for two) to the Ocean (elevated for the views). Groups of friends or families can stay together in the Oceanfront duplex, which sleeps six and extends over two floors to maximize privacy. Set on the west side of the island, The Beach Retreat sleeps five and, as its name suggests, not only offers a private sundeck for lounging and alfresco dining but also direct access to a private beach cove. The toughest part about this one is leaving it.
