Love To Explore Rating: First Class
Set in Cambodia’s Koh Rong Archipelago, Song Saa Private Island is a barefoot-luxury retreat that is spread across two jungle-covered islets linked by a footbridge.
Accommodation comes in the form of beautifully designed villas, each crafted from reclaimed materials and inspired by traditional Cambodian fishing villages. Some are perched above the water with direct ladder access to the sea, while others are nestled in the lush rainforest with ocean views. Every villa offers a private pool, spacious deck and a sense of tranquillity.
Dining at Song Saa is centred around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, with menus that blend Cambodian flavours and international influences. Guests can choose from the overwater Vista restaurant, beachside BBQs under the stars, or bespoke private dining experiences anywhere on the island.
Facilities include a wellness sanctuary with yoga and meditation, a world-class spa, and opportunities for snorkelling, kayaking, and exploring nearby islands. With its deep commitment to conservation and community, Song Saa proves sustainability and indulgence can go hand in hand.
At Love To Explore, we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Impeccable service
- Tranquil, private island
- Excellent spa
FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
