Enjoy Cambodian island life at its most…. Cambodian.

Koh Rong Samloem is a tropical island a two-hour boat ride from Sihanoukville on the mainland, and a world away in culture.

Sihanoukville, or Kampong Som, is a fast-developing seaside resort where travelers can enjoy all the amenities you would expect, but at the cost of losing a lot of its core Khmer identity.

M’pay Bay on Koh Rong Samloem offers a glimpse of traditional Cambodian island life, and the opportunity to contribute to the organic growth of a community solely dependent on the sea for its existence.

Now, Village M’pay Bei (literally translated, Village 23) has another source of income: you, the guests at M’pay Bay, can enjoy the refreshments and hospitality offered by an increasing number of eco-tourism amenities in the village.

Or you can simply chill in the tranquility of what one guest called “a true paradise”….

Accommodation

Our bungalows are all within 30 meters of the beach, in a very secluded and tranquil setting, which has been transformed from the termite hill and scrub covered wilderness almost single-handedly by our groundsman and general miracle worker Net, a local man whose skills and initiative cannot be overexaggerated.

Each bungalow offers a bed with mosquito net, open style wardrobe unit, en suite shower/toilet, fan, lights and a power point (electricity available from around 6pm until about midnight). Outside, there is a veranda, with a hammock for those idle moments, and a table with a couple of chairs, to sit and maybe enjoy a little light refreshment while you take in the beauty of the bay through the light fringe of trees edging the shoreline.

For those on a tighter budget, we now offer tent accommodation, set back from the bungalows in tastefully cleared and secluded “pods”, each with a mattress and a nearby hammock, and with shared shower/toilet facilities.

As for cost, the bungalows are $20 per night and the tents are $5 single and $7 double.
