Picturesque Beaches

There’s plenty of fun in the sun and sand here too. Amongst the best things to do in Cambodia is to spend time at the beaches in Sihanoukville be it Sokha Beach home to luxury hotels or Serendipity Beach known for its nightlife. For an idyllic island escape, there’s Saracen Bay Beach on Koh Rong Samloem.

Best Times to Visit

The dry season is regarded as the best time to visit and extends from November to April with clear skies and glorious sunshine. That said, the rainy season from May to October has its own allure; it mostly rains only in the afternoon, the scenery is spectacular and the rates and crowds will be less too!
