Overview
The Sweetheart Islands
Song Saa — Khmer for 'the sweethearts' — occupies twin islets joined by a footbridge in the Koh Rong archipelago.
Song Saa Private Island sits on two small islets connected by an overwater footbridge, in the Koh Rong archipelago off Cambodia's southern coast. The resort was instrumental in establishing Cambodia's first marine national park, protecting the surrounding reef the villas look out over. Overwater and jungle villas are built largely from reclaimed materials, reflecting an early and deliberate commitment to sustainable island tourism that remains rare in the region.
