Opened in 2012, Song Saa Private Island is an award-winning, luxury eco-resort located within the Koh Rong Archipelago, off the south coast of Cambodia, and surrounded by an extensive marine reserve. The resort has pioneered conservation-based luxury tourism in Cambodia, with landscape planning and design based on a deep connection to the environment and the preservation of an ecologically important island ecosystem.

 

 

 

 

 

Twenty-four luxury jungle, ocean-view, and overwater villas have been carefully designed, located, and constructed to be in complete harmony with nature. The resort draws its inspiration from the Cambodian fishing villages found throughout the archipelago. Only recycled and reclaimed timber, local materials, and indigenous plant species, in keeping with the philosophy of sustainability and respect for the natural environment, have been used throughout the resort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coopers Hill utilised planning methods tailored to local conditions to exquisitely and appropriately shape the original environment, protecting the project’s precious ecology. Instead of flashy materials and decorations, the design team incorporated beautiful elements more natural to the dreamy tropical island of Song Saa: wooden paths leading to water villas, private swimming pools hidden in the dense jungle, white, soft natural beaches, graceful palm trees, and more. The entire villa complex coexists harmoniously with nature and the surrounding marine environment, becoming a paradise of blue sea and sky—a quiet and peaceful hidden retreat.
