About

Missing your ferry because you extended your island stay? It happens more often than you'd think. Koh Rong is all turquoise water, powder-white sand, jungle trails, unreal sunsets, and beach days that roll straight into barefoot nights by the sea. Time moves differently here, and once you've found your crew, leaving becomes the hardest part.

It all starts with The Meet Up, our daily 7pm social with 50% off beers at the beachfront bar. Come alone, leave together. Spend Monday belting out Karaoke, catch the Fire Show and Pub Quiz every Tuesday, test your music knowledge on Thursday at Music Quiz, or throw yourself into Saturday Beach Olympics before our Saturday Sesh Happy Hour. Meet new people at Sunday Beer Pong and Caribbean Family Dinner. As the social heartbeat of Koh Rong, we're where travellers naturally come together, with beachfront sunsets, daily socials, an open-air forest gym, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps everyone hanging around long after happy hour ends.

When you're ready to explore, we've got plenty waiting beyond the beach towel. Jump aboard our snorkelling and fishing trip, swim over colourful reefs, catch your own lunch, then finish with a beach BBQ as the sun goes down. Grab a kayak or paddleboard, explore the coastline, or let our team help organise your next island adventure. Just swing by the travel desk and we'll take care of the rest.

Wake up just steps from Long Set Beach, with four kilometres of soft white sand and crystal-clear water right outside your door. Spend your days swimming, hiking through the jungle, or chasing hidden beaches before heading back to our air-conditioned dorms or private bungalows, complete with privacy curtains for a well-earned recharge before someone talks you into one more sunset drink. Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.
