The ancient Khmer country, bordering Vietnam and Thailand<\/a>, is still inferior to its neighbors in terms of tour<\/a>ism. She only recently came to her senses after a protracted civil war that claimed the lives of millions of Cambodians. But the beautiful nature, the wonderful coast of the Gulf of Thailand, the warm climate, the generous land are the basis for future prosperity. In addition to the mainland, Cambodia has 52 island<\/a>s, of which only 4 are inhabited so far. However, even today tour<\/a>ists have something to do here and what to see<\/a>. What is worth only the ancient capital of the Khmer kingdom of Angkor, recognized as the object of the world masterpiece of architecture of the 10th-13th centuries. During the heyday of the Khmer Empire, many amazing temples and luxurious palaces were created here. Today it is the main attraction of the country, a place of pilgrimage for tourists<\/a> from all over the world. An equally attractive factor for them is a cheap beach holiday. Despite the fact that the beaches<\/a> of Cambodia are not yet so well-maintained, the beauty of nature, the friendliness of the locals compensate for this shortcoming. Active work is underway to improve national park<\/a>s, hotels<\/a> are being built, resort infrastructure is being improved.<\/p>\n

Sihanoukville, one of the fastest growing Cambodian resorts, boasts modern hotels<\/a>, urban infrastructure and good beaches<\/a>. Staying on them is an immersion in the world of enchanting nature. Such marvelous sunrises and sunsets, it seems, are nowhere else. The feeling of magic<\/a>al magic will not leave you on Ochitel, the longest stretch of the coast (almost 3 km). The cozy sandy strip is symbolically divided into two halves: southern and northern.<\/p>\n

The southern part<\/a> is practically not ennobled, dotted with many coastal stones. But smooth, surf-polished boulders are not a hindrance. The entrance to the sea<\/a> is smooth, the water is clean, less household waste. Fans of wild secluded recreation will like this part of the beach. The northern half of Ochitel, with a highly developed infrastructure, is in demand by tourists. The abundance of cafes and rest<\/a>aurants playing with neon lights in the evening, with an inexpensive varied cuisine, attracts everyone. Locals, especially young people, love to visit here in the evenings and on weekends.<\/p>\n

Until the morning, music rumbles on the shore, a fire show takes place, fireworks are arranged, a fun party lasts all night. During the day, the situation is measuredly calm, they try to clean up the garbage washed ashore at high tide every day. Umbrellas and sunbeds belonging to establishments are offered for a nominal fee. In the evening, tables and easy chairs are set up near the shore. Around a large selection of budget hotels<\/a> from $ 10 and more per day. Nearby there is a small park with playgrounds and slides. On Ochitel you can rent a scooter, ride a boat or a yacht to the neighboring island<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

Otres<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

If you dream of visiting the cleanest piece of Sihanoukville coast, with fine white sand and perfectly clear water, then Otres will satisfy this dream. It is located<\/a> in the southern district of Sihanoukville, more precisely in its suburbs. Here, even in the high seas<\/a>on, there is no crowds, extra noise. There is an opportunity to relax<\/a> from the heart, enjoying the peace and tropical beauty of pristine nature. The entire section of Otres is divided into 2 zones, which differ from each other visually and infrastructurally. There are plenty of housing facilities: hotels, inns, bungalows, guesthouses.<\/p>\n

Otres 1st, with typical postcard resort views, many hotels, bars and rest<\/a>aurants, is always filled with vacation<\/a>ers. Here you will find a good shelter in a comfortable hotel-bungalow 3 or 4 star<\/a>s from $50 to $100 on the 1st coastline. Restaurants offer a variety of menus, including vegetarian options. There are also very cheap bungalows, concocted from branches, existing on the “word of honor” and tiny cafes. On the territory of Otres 1 there is a pharmacy, ATMs for cashing out the currencies of different countries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Otres 2nd is practically devoid of the benefits of civilization, but this does not spoil it at all. A wide clean strip of white sand spreads like a soft car<\/a>pet underfoot. You can hide from the sun under the crowns of casuarinas growing in a line. Young palms planted along a yellow-brick path decorate the landscape. In the equipped gazebos, yoga is practiced, there are toilets. It is good to relax<\/a> here with children<\/a>: a gentle descent into the sea<\/a>, soft sand, calm, safe.<\/p>\n

Independents<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2-kilometer strip of the coast of Independence attracts with its unusual picturesqueness and purity. Original sculptures, bridge<\/a>s, design<\/a>er tables and urns please the eye. Its right side<\/a> belongs to the 5-star hotel of the same name, which cares about the condition of the beach. Hotel guests use it b \/ n, other visitors pay for the entrance. Comfortable strong sunbeds and reliable umbrellas are installed.<\/p>\n

The surrounding views fascinate with pristine beauty. Especially when you look at the shore from a wooden pier, with an original gazebo, with a thatched roof. The entrance to the pier from a pretty embankment, decorated with tiled paths, gazebos, lawns – amazing! The central part of the strip is equipped to a lesser extent, but there are more trees with spreading crowns. In their shade, you can safely lie without an umbrella. To get a second-hand lounger, you need to order something in a cafe, of which there are several.<\/p>\n

The sandy strip is flat and pleasant to walk on. In some places, boulders lie in the water, around which crabs and crabs scurry. The water is very clean, the bottom is smooth, the garbage is regularly removed. A wide street stretches along the sandy strip. This area<\/a> is less crowded and more peaceful, a relaxing holiday is guaranteed. The left edge of Independence, which is a wild beach, belongs to the Holiday Casino Hotel. Here you forget about all the problems and enjoy communication with amazing flora and fauna.<\/p>\n

Sokha<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

When you first visit the 1.5-kilometer stretch of Sokha coast, you immediately fall under the irresistible charm of this place. A wide expanse of fine white sand, bordered by a green stripe, delights with virgin purity. The azure mirror of the bay beckons with freshness, in general, a piece of paradise! More than half of Sihanoukville's “paradise” belongs to the 5-star Sokha Beach Resort.<\/p>\n

Guests of the hotel use the local infrastructure and the beach for free. But here other tourists<\/a> can swim in the sea and the pool, walk around the territory by paying $ 10. There is a free piece of 100-meter length in Sokha in the northern part. There are usually local kids and tourists who do not live in the hotel splashing around. The entrance to the well-warmed water near the coast is gentle. No problem for staying with children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pleasant surprises await vacation<\/a>ers in different places in Sokha. At the entrance is a giant tail, “left by a fabulous dragon.” And on the slopes, among the green thickets, intricate roofs of houses look out. The territory of the hotel is decorated with sculptures and gazebos in oriental style, openwork bridges. Impressive design of bungalow hotels, placed on stilts right in the water.<\/p>\n

Serendipity<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

Serendipity Beach is located in the center<\/a> of the Sihanoukville coastline. The synthesis of Asian exoticism and European chic make this place in the evenings an arena of unbridled fun, with music, wine and dancing. During the day, a soft snow-white strip of sand is quite suitable for a calm and measured rest against the backdrop of amazing landscapes. The shallow and warm sea off the coast attracts families with small children<\/a>. Divers come here, attracted by corals growing in the water.<\/p>\n

A series of cafes and restaurants at any time of the day offers a variety of cuisine. It is especially secluded to be on the segment behind the pier. It is always not crowded there, even on weekends, when locals come to Serendipity. There are many stones near the shore that stop the flow of tourists. Although the bottom on this segment is even and smooth, nothing interferes with swimming. Cons Serendipity – garbage, from time to time nailed to the shore by the current and uncomfortable road to the beach.<\/p>\n

Prek-Treng<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you want to be in a truly heavenly place, among exotic palm trees and the luxury of white sand? Then head to Prek Treng, located in the north<\/a>ern outskirts of Sihanoukville. You will be captivated by the virgin purity of the surrounding nature, its exotic beauty and the absence of annoying urbanization. It is no coincidence that this corner is chosen by locals who come here on weekends. Perfect cleanliness and divine beauty discipline visitors, whose hand is not understood to throw a cigarette butt or a napkin on the sand.<\/p>\n

On weekdays, there are very few people here, there are no merchants, loud music. But at the same time, Prek Trang is not without amenities for vacationers. There are nice<\/a> nice pavilions built here, where you can hide from the sun, organize a picnic with barbecue. Bring your own food and drinks – there are no cafes or bars nearby. There are rubbish bins and toilets. Sea azure, shining sand, amazing landscapes give bliss. A day spent on Prek Treng will be unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Victoria<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

An enchanting piece of coastline near the Sihanoukville port with the beautiful name of Victory Beach attracts romantic people who do not pretend to everyday comfort. They are not afraid of the proximity of the port, lack of infrastructure, cafes within walking<\/a> distance. But there is an opportunity to completely immerse yourself in the contemplation of the sea with ships sliding on it, splash in clear water. Among the best beaches<\/a> in Sihanoukville, Victory ranks 4th.<\/p>\n

The land also gives you the opportunity to enjoy yourself on the soft white sand, among palm trees with trunks of incredible shapes and other trees. Their spreading crowns reliably protect from the sun. There are no stones here, unlike other areas, a flat sandy bottom, shallow water near the coast. The local population actively sells fruits<\/a> and sweets. A full lunch is offered by restaurants located 300 meters from the shore. Nearby there are a number of hotels where you can comfortably stay from $9 to $70 per day.<\/p>\n

Ratanak<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

The picture of the bounty opens up to those who first come to a piece of the Sihanoukville coast of Ratanak (Ratanak). This smallest of the local beaches is full of external charm. It is located in a secluded corner surrounded by lush tropical flora and ranks 5th in the ranking among its fellows. Low-growing umbrella and tall coconut palms, casuarina, all kinds of shrubs saturate the air with phytoncides. The local inconvenience is large stones in some places on the coast and a rocky bottom, by analogy with the Seychelles.<\/p>\n

In general, the strip is well landscaped: sun loungers under exotic umbrellas are installed, cafes are open, a playground with mini attractions<\/a> is equipped. Vacationers with children can find good safe swimming areas. In spacious gazebos-bungalows, on wooden benches under palm crowns, you can just sit, enjoying the surrounding landscapes. It is much better to stay here in the dry seas<\/a>on than in the rainy season. Not crowded is one of the virtues of Ratanak.<\/p>\n

lazy<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

Enjoy a 2-hour boat cruise<\/a> around the bay and you will land at the picturesque island of Koh Rong Samloem, on the magnificent Lazy Beach. At first glance, the perfect purity of golden sand, crystal clear water and emerald green captivate. An outrageous picture – monkeys jumping among the pines, absolutely not reacting to your presence. It embraces the feeling of absolute unity with tropical nature, despite the presence of modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Cute bungalows of an unusual shape are equipped with comfort. In local restaurants, cozy and quiet, a varied delicious menu. The combination of pristine peace and the benefits of civilization create excellent conditions for families with children<\/a>. Newlyweds looking for seclusion on their honeymoon will also like it here. Fans of snorkeling and fishing will enjoy: not far from the coast there are underwater boulders inhabited by fantastically colored fish.<\/p>\n

Kampot<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

The southeastern province of Cambodia is the center<\/a> of unique<\/a> natural and man-made attractions<\/a>. The main city<\/a> of the same name in the province attracts tourists with ancient monuments of French colonial architecture. The entire territory of Kampot is an unusually picturesque nature, numerous plantations of black pepper, the Phnom Bokor nature reserve, the Elephant Mountains, etc. Sandy beaches<\/a> surrounded by wild nature stretch along 80 km of the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Excursions<\/a> to the ancient cave temples leave the deepest impressions. In the small village of Teuk Chhu there is a grandiose Arcadia water park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here you can not only enjoy swimming, but also have fun from the heart. A trip to the water park<\/a> will bring a lot of pleasure to children and adults. Tourists are delighted with exciting attractions<\/a>. There are volleyball courts, ping-pong, darts, billiards, bicycle rental<\/a>. Boat trips are made on rented kayaks and boats. Bars with soft drinks and live music are open on the territory of the water park<\/a>. In Kampot, there are no problems with renting housing from the most budgetary in bungalows and guesthouses ($5-7) to a hotel from $30.<\/p>\n

Kep<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

The smallest province of Cambodia cannot boast of an abundance of beaches. The length of the coastline here is only 2 km, on which the only Kep Beach is located. Once upon a time, the French, who had chosen a 500-meter stretch of coast, for greater comfort, covered the pebble coating with a white layer of sand. A cozy bay with calm water, the beauty of sea sunsets, a clean coast made this place bohemian for the French. The long war prevented the further improvement of Kep, but in 2013 sand was brought in again and the infrastructure was restore<\/a>d. This site, very much in demand by the Khmers from the surrounding settlements, is thoroughly filled with vacationers on weekends.<\/p>\n

On weekdays, the coastal strip is free, the serene stay of tourists is provided with natural beauties and the necessary attributes of infrastructure. The entrance to the sea is marked by a giant sculpture of a crab – the main symbol of the city<\/a> of the same name. He “greets” the bathers with a claw raised above the water. Nearby there are several restaurants, bars, hotels. Installed ATMs for exchange and withdrawal of money. From street stalls they sell fruits, sweets and various small items. In the eastern corner of Kepa Beach, attention is drawn to the statue of a girl peering into the sea distance – a touching monument to the dead fishermen.<\/p>\n

8 km from the town of Kep is the fishing village of Hum Angkol, where there is a beach corner of Angkul Beach. The sandy strip 1.5 kilometers long is a local wild beach, devoid of any infrastructure. Fans of unorganized recreation are already mastering this space. So far, regular visitors to Angkula Beach are fishermen who go fishing at sunset and return back at dawn. Traces of their activities partly violate the purity of the sand and water near the shore in the places of fishing camps.<\/p>\n

Long Set<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are visiting Koh Rong for the first time, your first thought will be: “This is heaven on earth.” And it will be further developed when you visit one of the best Cambodian beaches, Long Set. Get here by ferry from Sihanoukville. Irresistibly beautiful views<\/a> see<\/a>m to be painted with a thin brush of a skilled artist. Dazzling white sand, azure-blue expanse of the bay, merging with the sky in the distance, makes you freeze with admiration. The narrow coastal strip is edged with a dense fringe of sprawling trees, under the crowns of which there are deck chairs.<\/p>\n

The water is incredibly clean, the sand is whiter than snow – you will not see this everywhere. Stunning sunsets with changing hues create an amazing picture. But the real evening fairy tale begins after sunset, when plankton begins to sparkle with silver sparks, washing ashore for the night. You can stay for the night in one of the cheap bungalow hotels nearby. You will get double pleasure if you travel<\/a> around the entire paradise island on a rented bike.<\/p>\n

Sok San<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

On the island of Koh Rong there is another Sok San Beach, owned by the hotel of the same name. But if Long Set is a semi-wild paradise, then Sok San is a civilized paradise. A snow-white ribbon of velvet sand stretches along the emerald of the bay for 7 km. Smooth rows of coconut palms spread out like fans, reed huts of umbrellas adorn the strip. Opposite the hotel, right by the shore, there are light dining tables with chairs. Other areas are equipped with sun loungers and porcini awnings. Everything looks unrealist<\/a>ically beautiful, just breathtaking from the surrounding views.<\/p>\n

The owners of the hotel are trying their best to make the vacation of holidaymakers here as comfortable and interesting<\/a> as possible. Boat trips to neighboring islands, fishing, diving, snorkeling are organized. In the evening, the inhabitants of the hotel watch the glow of plankton. In the midst of the midday heat, you can take spa treatments. Vacationers visit the nearby authentic village, where they treat themselves to real Cambodian food in local cafes. Although the decoration and interiors of the rooms in the hotel cannot be called chic, but comfort, cleanliness and all amenities are present in them.<\/p>\n

Ko Thmei<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

An oasis of mangrove groves, tropical birds, stunning ocean landscapes – the National Park “Rome<\/a>” includes in its territory the uninhabited island of Koh Thmei with the beach of the same name. A strip of golden sand edged with coniferous trees, a calm expanse of the ocean, a peaceful atmosphere attracts many foreign tourists here. Every year more and more people want to relax<\/a> in an ecologically clean place. From the airport here (25 km) can be reached by taxi by land. From the side of the bay, from Serendipity – on a rented boat.<\/p>\n

Healing air, clean water, all the delights of the pristine tropics enchant from the first days of your stay. Tourists are not afraid of the lack of comfortable hotels and infrastructure. Several bungalows are built along the coast. The cost of one night – from 15 to 60 $, with a transfer<\/a>. In the mornings, instead of the rumble and rumble of transport<\/a>, everyone hears the flooding singing of birds and the quiet whisper of the waves. Swimming, walking, fishing, snorkeling diversify secluded leisure.<\/p>\n

Koh Rong Samloem<\/h2>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

Arriving at the island of Koh Thmei, neighboring Koh Rong Samloem, immediately remember the words from the song: “all covered with greenery, absolutely all.” This charming piece of land is covered with dense, sometimes impenetrable jungle. The stunning view<\/a>s of the coast of Koh Rong Samloem strike with incredible beauty. You can stand still for several minutes, afraid to take your eyes off the sea turquoise and white sand. The natural wonder here is very effectively complemented by intricate infrastructure. For example, in the form of an elite hotel, whose rooms are arranged in giant “pipes” horizontally mounted on props.<\/p>\n

The 1st line is decorated with cute houses in the form of fishermen's huts, surrounded by benches and tables of the Secret Paradise Hotel. The extraordinary architecture of the famous Moonliqht Resort is amazing, reminiscent of fairy-tale houses. There are also very simple huts, with thatched walls, wooden houses on trees for wild heads. Also irresistibly beautiful is the other Lazy Beach, already mentioned above. The combination of untouched flora and fauna with the modern comfort of living makes a holiday on Koh Rong Samloem the height of bliss.<\/p>\n

As in all countries of Southeast Asia, the climate of Cambodia is divided into seasons – dry and wet. Favorable time to relax here is from December<\/a> to March, the velvet season is December-January. During the day, the air warms up to + 30 \u00b0, at night – +20, the humidity is low, there is very little rain. It is always warm here, who easily tolerates humidity, can go in any season. However, it must be remembered that the land has not yet been cleared everywhere, and you can rest in permitted places.<\/p>\n
