Koh Rong is a true island paradise with pristine white beaches and turquoise water. For years the island was almost completely undeveloped save for a diving outfit and a few bungalows on either side of the island. Then, in late 2010 and early 2011, a number of new operations opened up, as well as regular boats to the island. But with only seven sets of bungalows on the 78 square kilometre island, it still has an almost-deserted feel to it with just enough going on to make it comfortable.
The island is truly gorgeous, and well worth the two-and-a-half hour boat trip from Sihanoukville. There are seven bays on the island, all with fish and marine-life crowded waters, making for great snorkelling and diving.
The Cambodian government has sold Koh Rong to an investment group based in Cambodia, which has plans to build an airport and “ecological” resort. They began building a road last year but stopped, apparently due to financial problems, so it seems like the bungalows are safe, at least for a little while.
Koh Rong has 43 kilometres of beaches, but the majority of the new accommodation is on the southeast. One of the most beautiful beaches is known as Long Set beach, after the farmer who lives there growing cashews, coconuts and mangoes. No one has built any
temporary accommodation 
on Long Set Beach because it’s thought it will be the first one to be developed.

So far the development group has left bungalows built elsewhere — after months of clearing jungle — alone. The operations pay rent and have signed agreements saying they will leave whenever they are ordered to. So if you want to take advantage of Koh Rong’s perfect beaches, diving, snorkelling and phosphorescent night swimming, go now.BooKing Please Contact This number
