Sihanoukville is the capital city of Preah Sihanouk province, located in southwestern Cambodia. It’s a coastal city on an elevated peninsula, garnering an ideal spot for some of the most charming natural attractions. It may be small, but it has a significant place in every traveler’s heart for its string of pristine beaches and scenic jungle-covered hills.

The top attractions in Sihanoukville are its beaches— Ochheuteal Beach, Sokha Beach, Otres Beach, Lamherkay Beach, and Independence Beach. Although commercial developments somehow affected the city’s virgin surroundings, there are still secluded places left, for those who want some quiet time relaxing. Other spectacular attractions in Sihanoukville include Wat Leu, Kbal Chhay Cascades, and Golden Lions Roundabout.

Sihanoukville is well-connected by plane to several domestic and international destinations. Sihanouk International Airport has regular direct flights to Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minch, and Phnom Penh.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
