Perfect place to escape

Created with sustainability in mind, Song Saa Private Island reflects the beauty of the Cambodian coastline. It's a place that breathes in time with nature, built from local materials, by local hands, and infused with local art and soul. An evolved tropical getaway with a pristine private beach, spacious wooden villas, heavenly spa sanctuaries and a preserved coral reef, Song Saa Private Island lets you detach from the world and tune into simple luxuries.

Built with reclaimed timber and materials from the mainland, the resort's design and architecture reiterates our commitment to sustainability. Each villa is a private sanctuary, a refined blend of thatched roofs, linen-draped canopy beds, up-cycled décor and repurposed furniture. Discarded oil drums find new life as lamps. Driftwood serves as a table or bench. Salvaged wood from old fishing boats and factory yards now forms decks and floors and beams.
Our culinary practice is proudly based on locally sourced ingredients: seasonal fruits and vegetables, wildlife-friendly Ibis rice from farmers in the North, fleshy cashew nuts and meaty coconuts from nearby villages. Then there's the distinctive favour of Kampot pepper infusing our cuisine with a truly local culinary twist. We're happy to cater to guests with dietary restrictions and our vegan and vegetarian dishes are some of our tastiest.

When it comes to wiling away your time, Song Saa lets you be as active or as inert as you like. Idle on our pristine sands or take off on a diving adventure. Take a sunset cruise across dazzling seas or explore our rainforest trails and see our native plants and wildlife. At night, enjoy a quiet dinner for two, then retreat to your villa terrace, clinking glasses under the constellations and wondering how you could ever leave…

Dining
Song Saa Private Island offers global cuisine with a local touch. Fresh, organic ingredients are sourced from our own gardens, with seafood from local fishing villages and imported goods from trusted international suppliers. Sumptuous and scrumptious, we'll give you dining experiences you'll never forget. Shoes and jackets not required.

VISTA BAR AND RESTAURANT
nothing short of spectacular. Oversized beanbags, a breezy waterfront position and views that are nothing short of spectacular. Vista Bar and Restaurant lets you indulge all your senses. The menu champions expertly prepared local ingredients and Khmer flavours, alongside inventive renditions of Western comfort dishes. Our breads are baked onsite, our salads delicately put together and our seafood freshly caught by local fisherman.

DRIFTWOOD
Order a bottle. Sip while watching the sunset. Order another bottle. Repeat the next day. . . Open from early morning to late night, Driftwood Bar on the beach is the ideal spot for a refreshing glass of Brut, a chilled post-swim beer or one of our signature sundowner cocktails. Complement a muddled mojito or a glass of Riesling with a crispy, thin-crust pizza or bite-sized tapas.

DESTINATION DINING
You don't need a special occasion to dine under a starlit sky or on a pristine patch of powdery sand. Just choose a location in the resort – on the beach by the sea, along the infinity pool, in one of Song Saa's hidden enclaves – and we will arrange a dining experience unlike any other. Enjoy good food and fine wines, whether you're dining under clear blue skies or a canopy of stars…

NUTRITION AND SOURCING
The tantalising aroma of local herbs and spices, the expert touch of our talented chefs, the distinct infusion of Kampot pepper - dining at Song Saa is an immersive journey through the region's unique flavours. A thoughtful gourmet cuisine that offers a fresh twist on traditional Cambodian and international fare - lovingly prepared and spectacularly plated.

At Song Saa Private Island, we prize natural, organic nourishment. We source our seasonal fruit and veg locally – much of it from the island itself. We use wildlife-friendly Ibis rice from the North and get our cashew nuts and coconuts from local villages.

We're also happy to cater to guests with dietary restrictions, and our vegan and vegetarian options are some of our best.
Wellness
Song Saa Private Island offers an evolved spa concept that integrates the wellbeing journey with the natural environment of the Song Saa islands. Our 'spa with no walls' is not your everyday spa centre – it's actually made up of little 'sanctuaries' dotted across the island, where treatments take place nestled in nature.

Our spa philosophy embraces the Buddhist tradition of metta bhavana – the cultivation of loving-kindness. We also believe in the Buddhist practice of respecting all beings and offering blessings to others. For this reason, you'll see our spa menu is divided into three themes: stillness, healing and blessings.

  • Stillness: The innate tranquillity of Song Saa Private Island can help quiet the mind and help you reclaim your centre.
  • Healing: Restorative treatments are applied with loving-kindness and with awareness of their ability to transform.
  • Blessings: Song Saa islands have graced us with abundant natural blessings, which we are privileged to be able to share with guests.

Song Saa Sanctuaries practitioners include traditional Khmer therapists, internationally trained wellbeing experts, yogis, reiki masters and meditation gurus. Experienced in local rituals and natural ingredients, as well as modern treatments, they are skilled in a wide range of therapies, from the ancient to the innovative. Each visit begins with a private spa consultation session with the Head of Welbeing to devise a tailored programme that comprises spa therapies, nutrition and activities.

Our spa products are also derived from nature, created with wild local ingredients by Cambodia's best artisans.

At Song Saa Private Island, our 'wellness' offering extends beyond massage and yoga. It's our opinion that wellbeing is achieved through balance.

Part of a bespoke wellbeing journey could include activities such as kayaking and hiking, or heading out on the Boat of Hope. We also believe that fun and laughter are integral to wellbeing and that a glass of Champagne at sunset can be as vital to wellness as any spa treatment.
