Six Senses Krabey Island, Cambodia

All set for its 2018 debut, this stylish and utterly romantic island resort in Cambodia’s idyllic Koh Rong archipelago will set yet another high-water mark for a region that’s fast becoming one of Asia’s most fashionable beach retreats.

Just a short boat ride from Sihanoukville on Cambodia’s south coast – a region yet to see the sort of mass development witnessed in its neighbours – guests can look forward to a truly intimate experience imbued with the sort of barefoot luxury for which Six Senses is known.

With just 40 private-pool villas dotted throughout 30 pristine acres of Krabey island, the whole resort enjoys a sense of space and privacy. The villas themselves are typically chic and stylish, pairing light woods and soft linens with luxurious bathrooms and views across the gardens and beach. The dining is typically varied, with fresh seafood taking a lead on menus that showcase the flavours of the region as well as a wide range of international favourites. And there’s a superb spa, too, which offers everything from multi-day rejuvenation options to yoga classes, healing treatments and wellness workshops.
