Cambodia's first private island resort unveiled

by Aoife Dowling | 25 Jan 2013

Song Saa, which translates as 'the sweethearts' in Khmer, is Cambodia's first private island resort.

Located in the Koh Rong Archipelago, the resort spans the island of Koh Ouen and Koh Bong and is connected by a footbridge.

Owned by entrepreneurs Rory and Melita Hunter, the resort features 27 villas, each with a private pool.

A spa and wellness sanctuary, situated in the rainforest along the shore, features a large infinity edge swimming pool and a yoga and meditation centre.

The sanctuary is inspired by the Buddhist principle of reverence and aims to offer blessings to others. Therapies are based on the four principles; stillness, finding the tranquillity to reconnect with the happiness within; healing, the awareness of the ability to transform; blessings, grace has a strong focus at the Song Saa.

Treatments on offer include head massages, body scrubs, facials, couple's treatments and full body therapies. Organic spa cosmetics brand ILA will be used during treatments.

Signature treatments include the Manipura, which starts with a Himalayan scrub to purify and detox the body, followed by a marma massage and lymphatic drainage.

Dining options include ago-old Cambodian-inspired cuisine and Western dishes. The Song Saa signature restaurant serves traditional Khmer and Western cuisine and guests are offered the option of dining under the stars.

Experiences at the all-inclusive resort include sunrise yoga, rainforest encounter, snorkelling and kayaking.
