Discover more about Lonely Beach

Lonely Beach, appropriately named, is arguably the most beautiful beach on Koh Rong, offering an escape from the island's busier areas. This isolated alcove on the northern side of Koh Rong feels like a true desert island paradise, boasting crystal-clear ocean waters and soft, white sandy beaches fringed by tall palm trees. The atmosphere is serene, with only the sounds of nature to accompany your stay. To reach this tranquil haven, a boat journey is necessary, adding to its secluded charm. The boat trip from Sihanoukville takes approximately 2-3 hours. Alternatively, take a speedboat to Koh Touch, then arrange a local taxi boat to Lonely Beach. Keep in mind that there are limited facilities here, so it's best to bring everything you need, including cash, as there are no ATMs. Once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with an unspoiled paradise. The beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling, with opportunities to explore the vibrant marine life. At night, the lack of light pollution creates the perfect conditions to witness the magical bioluminescent plankton. While Lonely Beach Resort offers rustic accommodations, the focus here is on experiencing the raw beauty of nature. Embrace the simplicity, disconnect from the modern world (no Wi-Fi here!), and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Lonely Beach.
