Song Saa Private Island is a pioneering luxury sanctuary that spans two islands, Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, connected by a scenic footbridge over a protected marine reserve. Known as "The Sweethearts" in Khmer, this B Corp-certified retreat is built with reclaimed timber and sustainable materials, serving as a model for regenerative tourism. The property overlooks Cambodia’s first government-recognized marine reserve, established to protect the surrounding reefs and thriving aquatic life, offering a profound connection between high-end comfort and ecological stewardship.
The 24 private pool villas are masterfully designed to blend into the natural topography, categorized into Jungle, Ocean View, and Overwater settings. Each villa features a private infinity pool, oversized sunken bathtubs, and repurposed furniture that echoes a "rustic-chic" aesthetic, with many using recycled fishing boats and driftwood. For the ultimate in island living, the Royal Villa is perched in a discreet overwater location, offering two bedrooms, a private jetty, and expansive living spaces designed for total immersion in the seascape.
