'Maldives-like' paradise near Saigon

Part of the Koh Rong archipelago (Cambodia), Song Saa is a private resort island where you can find moments of absolute relaxation amidst the vast sea and sky.

Cambodia is not a country with a long coastline, but island tourism in the land of pagodas is very developed with many well-built and convenient island resorts. Besides the islands famous for budget tourists such as Koh Rong Samloem, Koh Rong, Koh Tonsay..., tourists with a lot of money can go to privately owned resort islands, where they will find absolute privacy, staying overnight in villas in the middle of the vast ocean.

Song Saa is located on two Cambodian islands, Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, in the Koh Rong archipelago. It has long been eyed by wealthy tourists, with its wild, poetic beauty, blue sea, and white sand, no less than the distant Maldives resort paradise.

In the local language, Song Saa means "lover", so this island is the most ideal place to enjoy romantic moments such as watching the sky and sea together, or sipping a glass of wine in the sunset without being disturbed by anyone.

The special thing is that this place is not far from Ho Chi Minh City, with about half a day of travel by road, equivalent to the travel time to Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Rong which are already familiar to Vietnamese visitors.

However, when you come to Song Saa, you only have two choices of accommodation, and both are villas so the prices are quite high. There are two villa areas, one is a water villa, spreading out in the shape of a flower like in the Maldives or a forest villa built entirely with natural materials. Each villa here has one to two bedrooms, along with a comfortable and convenient swimming pool, facing the blue sea.

Currently, not many Vietnamese tourists know about this resort, most of them are European tourists coming here to relax. Villas must be booked about 4 months in advance to ensure availability.
