Bring insect repellent, microfiber towel and a torch. Walk through the jungle and visit the fishing village. Canoe back through the mangroves. Enjoy the beach, the warm water, the exceptional beach bar and BBQ. Swim with glowing plankton... what else do you need?

Amazing beach, the most beautiful I've seen and certainly much better than the other ones on Koh Rong. Bungalows are nice and cozy, but it could be a bit uncomfortable with no running water in the bathroom. Other than that, this is true paradise.

The food was incredible, the staff was super helpful, and the accommodations were eco-friendly while still being very comfortable. This was the best part of our vacation in Cambodia and I plan on coming back again sometime!

Lonely Beach Resort

Before coming to lonely beach, would you kindly note that we are an eco resort which means that we're running our place on solar power. You'll have lights in your bungalow, plugs to recharge your camera or mobile are available in the restaurant during daytime. A torch is helpful after sunset. Taking care to run the resort in the most ego-friendly way possible water conservation is also a priority. Our bathrooms include Western style bucket toilets and traditional Khmer style bucket showers.

First of all, let us confirm you that we are STILL OPEN during this hard time of covid-19. Please note that the best way to get to Lonely Beach is from The Royal Pier in Sihanoukville, the boat departs at 2PM (14.00) and cost 15 USD per person. To make your travels cheaper and easier, don't try to go to the main community pier (speed boat) because you will end up in the south and we are located in the north. From the south the only way to get here is by motorbike (20 USD) through the jungle or boat (50 USD). Be aware that if you are coming from Thailand, or somewhere in the north, and you want to avoid Sihanoukville, we can organize some pick up or drop off from/to Khum Thma Sa or Koh Sakor. Please, feel free to ask for more informations.

Lonely Beach lies on a beautiful secluded bay in the very north of Koh Rong, far away from Sihanoukville or the busier southern part of the island. It's only reached by their own boat and not by any of the public ferries. (Please check transfer information before booking.) Twenty one solar powered private bungalows, some with attached bathroom, others with shared community bathroom and a dorm can be booked to enjoy this peaceful paradise. The on-side restaurant offers a variety of tasteful local, Asian and western food. Be prepared for hammocks, palm trees, stunning sunsets, crystal clear water, plankton swimming at night and much more... As Lonely Beach is a WiFi-free zone you'll find plenty of time to read a book, explore an authentic fishing village, enjoy the beach or socialize with other guests. Also snorkeling trips or walks to one of the surrounding waterfalls can be organized.

“Relaxing stay on quiet secluded beach - hammocks, sand, sea”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
The dorm was set behind the kitchen, and occasionally there were bad smells and noise early in the morning. The snorkelling and yoga was available but poorly advertised and organised. This could have been due to not many guests staying at the time. It was hard to get to, in that the boat from the royal pier took much longer than the speed ferry.
Location was awesome - right on secluded lonely beach. Lots of hammocks and places to chill. Unspoiled stretch of beach; clean sand, beautiful calm warm water. The place as a real deserted beach island kind of feel to it. I loved how sustainable the place was as well; solar power only, and eco toilets. The dormitory was incredible value for money. Loved the barbeque on the beach at the beach bar with all the other guests - very social, which was perfect for a solo traveller. Good food at good value. Sunsets from the beach were excellent. Also enjoyed the opportunity to visit the local Khmer village nearby on the river.

Be prepared for (eco friendly) solar energy and basic shower options and you will love this place! :)
Absolutely remote and amazing location, very quiet and directly at the lonely beach, where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The Bungalows are perfect if you are into the Robinson Cruseau feeling and love being in the nature. The staff was lovely and the food always very good. They offer yoga sessions and snorkeling trips. As well, you can see glowing plancton at night in the water (depending on the moon).

“A magical stay at Lonely Beach”

If I could rate Lonely Beach higher than 10/10, I would! I burst into tears (of joy) upon arrival, which is a very rare event. Loved the whole relaxed vibe with fabulous hosts - Danny & Geoff - Danny was one of the nicest people I have ever met ❣ Our beach hut (without en-suite) was so comfortable. We slept under the mosquito net with all windows open and it was a perfect temperature. The beach bar cocktails, BBQ and restaurant food were delicious. So sad to leave and felt bereft when we travelled onto Koh Rong Sanloem. Sunset Beach just couldn't live up to our magical Lonely Beach experience. I could go on and on ....

Paradise on earth... the hut is so cute, very clean, surrounded by palm trees. The beach is absolutely amazing. The highlight of our stay was swimming with the plankton. Experience you can't repeat. Also walking to the village was absolutely beautiful, taking kayaks through the mangroves back. I would highly recommend the barbecues. You will also get to meet other people as you eat together.

The "Khmer style" shower was not my favourite, just because of the critters we would find in the water.
The food and drinks at the restaurant/bar were unexpectedly delicious, with very good variety/selection for vegetarian and meat eaters. The volunteer staff were very friendly, fun and helpful! So interesting to meet travellers from other parts of the world. The beds were very comfy.

Not a dislike, just a heads-up: Organisation in the restaurant is sometimes a little slow or things will get forgotten. Don't expect 5* service, they are mostly volunteers. And you are on vacation. Daily specials were delicious!

As soon as you land on the beach you feel good vibes, I particularly liked Danny, he was very nice. The place is a paradise and the food is nice. Go here if you just want to chill and get away from it all. Hope to be back at some point soon.

I would just say that perhaps the bungalow with private bathroom comes at a too high price. If you are ok with shared bathroom then I believe it's definitely worth it to stay there.
Amazing place which you share with only a handful people. Everyone is super nice and we found the restaurant good and tasty. Which is very important since you are going to eat at only that one place ;)

“Best stay ever!”

An outside rinsing shower would be great.
Outstanding. I was a little concerned that I would have an issue with shared bathrooms and bucket showers but in the end it was perfect and simply part of the experience. Having stayed in many hotels all over the world over the last two decades (mostly 4 or 5 star places), this is the stay I really enjoyed the most. Its haven on earth. Location, nature, facilities and most importantly the people were brilliant. I enjoyed being served by volunteers (students, ex business people with a huge variety of backgrounds). We had great evenings at the beautiful beach bar. If you like nature and classy people, this is your place to go. If you are afraid of animals or if you need a luxury bathroom, orobably not the best choice. I am very greatful for the 4 days I was able to spend here thank you very much for this outstanding experience.

Coffee!!! Heheheheeh don’t drink it unless you can’t live without it.
We would like to thank to all wonderful people working in the resort. They made our stay unforgettable. Big thanks to Danny and Julia for being so friendly. We felt like we are at home. Beach is fabulous, white&yellow sand, very long and everyone can have their own private corner on it. Also, its great coz there is no internet unless you bring along sim card but from SMART company. We didn’t and this was the greatest thing when u enjoy there without knowing what is the time, date, day. So grateful that we tried something like that, feels so good.

Was a wonderful stay, but if you are fussy about having your creature comforts - and not sharing your comforts with lots of creatures! - you may be less enthralled. The rooms are very open, so night time visitors included spiders, frogs, bats, geckos, and rats. If that is your idea of a nightmare then keep that in mind!
Great beach and opportunity to switch off and unwind. I enjoyed snorkeling (possible right off the beach, and lots to see), massages, swimming with bioluminescent plankton, yoga, walking to the local village and kayaking back. Also reading and dozing in hammocks :)

“Great location and spirit but I did not like the property”

Price is unreasonably high for such kind of accommodation (talking about birds nest). It was 100 USD + 10% fee for card payment/ 2 nights. There is not normal bathroom, shower is “bucked style”. Also toilets you have to “flush” with bucket. In cottage is only bed, nothing else. In addition they charge you for literally everything. We stayed in similar remote beach in other Koh Rong island. (even more remote because you can not get there by motorcycle at all) Robinson bungalows. There are normal showers and normal toilets. Cottage was more clean, bigger with terrace and much nicer in general. We paid only around 20USD per night, which I consider as reasonable price. Other thing, staff.. In general staff was nice, however they gave us couple times wrong/ uncomplete informations. For example there is little trek to fishing village. They told us we can do the trek and then partially go back by kayaks. I ask then for more details and they just told us to follow the signs. It took us over hour to find out where to get those kayaks. We asked many people and nobody knew anything about kayak renting. We had to ask couple tourist to navigate us to one resort. There was no advertisement or anything. They could have told us WHERE we can rent kayaks. Also weird experience with check out time. We ask when can we check out. Firstly they told us, that anytime. (Well it was little strange but anyway, boat with tourists come around 5pm, we wanted to leave 3pm, so I guess it was doable, especially when there is no bathroom in the cottage, just bed) so we did not pack in the morning. Then I wanted to make sure if its ok to check out at 3pm and the owner got actually kind of angry and offensive. Well, then we canceled our beach program and went to pack. In general I think she (not sure but I guess her name is Julia) was not very nice to us.
I definitely loved location and calm spirit there. That is the reason why many people came back if so.
