KOH RONG, CAMBODIA
SONG SAA PRIVATE ISLAND
Where raw island beauty meets sophisticated luxury
About Song Saa Private Island
A private island sanctuary in Cambodia’s Koh Rong Archipelago, featuring exclusive reclaimed-timber villas and an untouched reef.
Song Saa sits across two once-degraded islands in the Koh Rong Archipelago, joined by a footbridge over a 200-metre marine sanctuary. Twenty-four villas of reclaimed timber and thatch share the site with an overwater restaurant and a jungle spa spread across neighbouring Koh Bong. The island opened in 2012 and holds B Corp status.
