🌴 Welcome to Koh Rong Island

It’s been over two years since we first visited Koh Rong, and the island has already come a long way. Back then, it was mostly running off a single generator from the mainland — now there’s proper power, more places to stay, and easier ways to get around.

There’s one main road that loops around the island, and getting from place to place is simple with local tuk tuks.

The wedding venue will take place on Long Set Beach, where we recommend you to be staying, has everything you’ll need: comfortable resorts, beach bars, pizza shacks, calm water, and plenty of spots to chill out. You can walk almost everywhere, and things move at a nice, island pace!

Since our first visit 2 years ago, we have seen a lot of changes and development — new resorts and accommodation, better transport, and more food options. As happens on a beautiful island everywhere in the world, there are going to be even more rapid developments over the next 2 years before the wedding! New roads and even an airport planned to open in the next 10 years is in the works.

While things are changing, the island still has a laid-back charm that we really love. We feel incredibly lucky to be celebrating here at this moment in time — while it still feels special and a little off the beaten path, but with enough comfort to make it easy for everyone to enjoy.

We can’t wait to share it with you!

Things to do

🐚 Things to Do on Koh Rong

There’s no pressure to do anything on Koh Rong — but if you’re keen to explore, the island has plenty of ways to fill your days between swims and sunset cocktails.

🐠 Snorkelling or Island Hopping

Swim with Bioluminescent Plankton

Expect tropical fish, coral, and a fun day out on the water. Some tours also stop at nearby islands. On dark nights, the water around the island glows with natural bioluminescent plankton — little sparkles of light that swirl around you as you move. We plan to see this on our chartered boat trip day!

🛶 Hire a Kayak or Canoe

Explore the calm coastline by kayak or canoe. Paddle out, and you may spot tiny fish jumping out the water!

🍹 Visit Beach Bars

Long Set and nearby beaches have a handful of great beach bars — perfect for a lazy afternoon drink, sunset happy hour, or a quiet evening under the stars. Most are just a short walk down the beach.

🏖️ Discover Other Beaches

If you feel like a bit of adventure, take a tuk tuk or drive to visit nearby beaches like Coconut Beach, Sok San Beach, or Lonely Beach. Each has its own vibe — from quiet and secluded to lively and social.

-lonely beach, jungle gym, cocktail shack by the beach

-coconut beach, relaxed beach

- palm beach, sip cocktails peep at the private sok san private island (costs $1000 per night!)

-goldenlong beach best view for sunset with a cocktail, where we got engaged!

Most places are casual and beachy — it’s normal to dine barefoot!

🌾 Cultural Experiences

For those who want to experience a bit more of Cambodia beyond the beaches, Koh Rong also offers a few low-key, meaningful ways to connect with local culture.

🍳 Join a Khmer Cooking Class

Learn how to make traditional Cambodian dishes like fish amok, green mango salad, or banana coconut dessert. Classes are hands-on, fun, and a great way to taste more of the local flavours — plus you get to eat what you make!

🛖 Visit a Local Village

Take a guided trip to one of the nearby Cambodian villages on the island. It’s a chance to see how people live, learn about daily life. The pace is slow and welcoming — often lots of kids playing.

🧘‍♀️ Relax, Read, Repeat

Of course, one of the best things to do is nothing at all. Bring a good book, float in the water, or take a nap in a hammock — that’s the real island life.
