Beach holidays Cambodia
Pristine sands, tranquil waters, Cambodian coastal bliss
Cambodia's coastline, with its pristine beaches and idyllic islands, has gained recognition as a hidden gem for beach holidays. While this Southeast Asian nation is often celebrated for its ancient temples and rich history, its coastal offerings are equally captivating and worth exploring.
Kep, a serene coastal town is known for its laid-back ambiance and delicious seafood. Kep Beach, though smaller compared to other Cambodian beaches, is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy fresh seafood by the sea. The nearby Kep National Park offers hiking trails and panoramic views.
For those seeking a more remote and secluded beach experience, Koh Tang is an excellent choice. It's famous for its underwater coral formations, making it a haven for snorkelers and divers. The island is relatively undeveloped, offering an unspoiled escape.
Ream National Park offers a unique blend of beach and nature experiences. It's home to pristine beaches and mangrove forests, making it an excellent destination for hiking, bird-watching, and boat tours along the rivers.
Cambodia's beach holidays not only provide serene coastal beauty but also unique opportunities for cultural exploration. Local fishing villages, like those in Kep, offer insight into the traditional way of life in Cambodia's coastal regions. The relaxed pace of beach towns contrasts the more touristy cities, providing travellers with a chance to unwind and immerse themselves in the local culture.
Cambodia's beach destinations offer an unspoiled, laid-back charm that sets them apart from the more crowded beach hotspots in Southeast Asia. Whether you're looking for relaxation on the sand, underwater adventures, or an opportunity to explore the local way of life, Cambodia's coastal areas have something for every type of beach enthusiast.

Cambodia Trip Inspiration
Our Cambodia specialist, Nia, says:
"Cambodia’s beaches feel wonderfully unspoiled, and it’s so easy to slow down here. I love the quiet charm of Kep with its seaside cafés and fresh crab lunches, or the sense of peace you find on Koh Rong, where it’s just you, the sea, and the sound of the waves. It’s all so real and unhurried... a world away from the usual beach crowds.”
