Introduction

Sihanoukville, known locally as Kompong Som, is Cambodia’s premier beach resort and seaport. Tourist numbers in this tropical getaway have increased dramatically over the last 4-5 years and facilities at the resort are now first-class. Road access to the town has always been good: National Highway No.4, between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, is one of the best roads in Cambodia. Improvements to the international airport will make it easy for overseas holidaymakers to fly straight into the resort. A new deep-sea port is under construction that will allow cruise ships to dock in the future. Sihanoukville looks set to become one of the premier tourist destinations in Cambodia.

Sihanoukville offers tourists a wide range of accommodation and plenty of holiday activities. The abundance of bars and restaurants means visitors can sample all manner of foreign and local cuisine day and night. The resort boasts beautiful white-sand beaches with names like Ochheuteal, Sokha, Independence and Victory. These beaches are renowned for their quiet, cozy atmosphere and their large stretches of white sand and clear water.

Sihanoukville is a popular holiday destination for Khmer families and international visitors alike, largely because it has some of the most unspoiled beaches in all of Southeast Asia. The range of holiday activities available in Sihanoukville includes swimming; snorkeling; island excursions; scuba diving; eco tours of nearby National Parks and, of course, sunbathing. Sihanoukville’s beaches are the perfect place to lay back and contemplate your experience of Cambodia.
