Description
In the Khmer language, ‘Song Saa’ means ‘the sweethearts’, reflecting the way the property spans the two tropical islands of Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, with just a footbridge connecting the two. Song Saa is the first ever luxury island development in Cambodia, setting a new standard in environmentally sensitive, luxurious accommodation just 30 minutes by speedboat from Sihanoukville.
The property features 27 luxury pool villas, situated in the lush rainforest, on the golden beaches and perched over the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand, each with the most modern of facilities, designed to work in harmony with the environment.
Song Saa is also home to the fantastic Vista Restaurant and Lounge, affording 360-degree views of the ocean whilst dining on delicious food prepared by the talented chefs. This is a spectacular view point for sunrise and sunset and starry nights are best observed at the over-water bar or at the bar on the beach.
For underwater enthusiasts, Song Saa is paradise, as it sits amidst a pristine marine reserve, home to an abundance of fascinating marine life, including dugongs, seahorses and exotic species of tropical fish. Explore this amazing under water world, or take to the ocean in a multitude of other ways including sailing and kayaking.

When to travel
Cambodia is hot all year round and the best time to visit is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. It starts to get wetter in May and the wettest months are September and October. It is still possible to visit during this time as rain usually falls as short sharp storms. November is a fantastic month to visit Cambodia as it is very green after the rainy season and the lakes and rivers are full of water.
