Cambodia’s Coastal Gateway of Sea, Sand and Island Surprises
Sihanoukville is southern Cambodia’s vibrant coastal city - where sandy beaches unfurl beneath palm groves, and gateway boats whisk you to untouched islands. From Ochheuteal’s bustling beachfront to the tranquil expanse of Otres, mornings here start with salt‑tinged breezes and endless horizons.By day, explore within town and beyond: dolphin‑dotted waters, mangrove adventures in Ream National Park, and a refreshing trek to Kbal Chhay Waterfall. Beyond the shore, islands like Koh Rong and little‑visited Bamboo Island (Koh Russei) promise snorkeling reefs and peaceful bays within easy reach.
Evenings in Sihanoukville pulse with laid‑back energy: seafood staples and Khmer bars light up along waterfront alleys; night markets bustle with grilled fish, local crafts and laughter under lantern‑lit skies.
With Viland Travel, expect thoughtfully timed transfers: private boat rides to islands, guided eco‑walks in Ream, waterfall swims and sunset dinners at sea‑edge tables. Sihanoukville stitches together Cambodia’s coastal spirit - with sea, forest, island and culture in a vibrant yet accessible tapestry.
Highlights
- Dive or snorkel in clear waters and explore reefs around Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem
- Take a wildlife boat trip through Ream National Park’s estuaries and mangroves

Sihanoukville surprises you - sunrise strolls at Otres, snorkelling reefs off Bamboo Island, or mangrove wildlife in Ream Park. I adore afternoon swims beneath the falls at Kbal Chhay, followed by fresh seafood dinners under lanterns along the beach. It’s a relaxed gateway to island adventures, with authentic Cambodian coastal life at every turn.
