Book the Six Senses Krabey Island with VIP Benefits

Krabey Island, a private island off Cambodia's coast, is like a secret escape. Six Senses Krabey Island offers guests a tranquil paradise amid lush jungles and clear waters. After a short boat ride to the island, you'll find a place focusing on wellness, relaxation, and barefoot luxury. This property promises a relaxing getaway, a health retreat, and a quiet escape.

Overview

This island resort is on the Gulf of Thailand, a short speedboat trip from Cambodia's South Coast. Six Senses made its debut in Cambodia's luxury hotel scene in 2019. It remains one of the most idyllic escapes. The villas are also well hidden among the mangroves, which cover most of this 30-acre island.

There's a lot to explore after you disembark. The staff may greet you with a welcome banner. Moreover, the villas are all designed with private pools that blend into the surrounding jungle. There's also plenty of woodwork and large windows with views of lush greenery. You may even spot a monkey in the trees if you are lucky.

The service is also fantastic. Each villa comes with a "Guest Experience Maker." They help plan activities, book spa treatments, and secure restaurant reservations. This resort is popular with couples of all ages. Families are also well catered for. There is a free kids' club, and you can pay extra for babysitting. Ateeb Shrestha is the resort's general manager.

Location

The resort sits on a 30-acre private island at the edge of Ream National Park in southern Cambodia. It's a quick 15-minute speedboat trip from the mainland. The water is warm all year round, but rougher in the low season (April to November). Sihanoukville is the nearest airport, located about 30 minutes from the pier. It receives flights daily from Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Bangkok. International flights are also available from Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur.

Service & Facilities

A surprise awaits you at every turn. There is an ice cream parlor, a shopping boutique, a yoga pavilion, and a stargazing terrace. There's a big swimming pool, a gym, and a cooking school. The beach is lovely, too. It has a watersports center with free kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear.

Six Senses has a great spa in the center of each resort. Bookings are available for wellness screenings or sleep therapies. Shaman sessions, Khmer-inspired massages, and scrubs inspired by Khmer culture can also be arranged. Besides, each changing room has its own sauna and steam tent.

Villas

The island is home to forty separate villas. Some are near shore, while others are high in the lush canopy. The 77-square-meter ocean pool villa is the cheapest room on the island, but it's still luxurious. It has a king-sized bed and an emperor-sized infinity pool.

Each room has a bathroom with a powerful rain shower and a Japanese toilet. Some pricier villas, like ocean pool villas, feature stylish living rooms and sunken stone baths. The Beach Retreat villa is one of the largest. This enormous villa has two bedrooms, a private pool, and an egg-shaped outdoor bathtub.

Moreover, each villa features a minimalist design with plenty of wood. This style reminds you of traditional Cambodian houses but adds some modern touches. Bluetooth speakers and retro Marshall radios are a few features in each villa. An iPad, located inside your room, can also operate blackout blinds.

Dining

AHA is a wood-paneled, all-day restaurant overlooking the main pool. Breakfast is served buffet-style or à la carte.

You can order everything on the à la carte menu, from green smoothie bowls to shakshuka. The staff will also greet you personally and learn your preferred coffee drink. AHA also serves a relaxed dinner featuring international and pan-Asian dishes. You can enjoy locally sourced curries bursting with flavor. The Pad Thai is also a must.

The Tree Restaurant has a stylish wooden interior and a jungle vibe. It offers a mix of Khmer and Southeast Asian dishes, plus several vegan and vegetarian choices. The portions are generous, but remember to save room for dessert.

In addition, Double-Dip Hangout is a great place to grab a quick lunch. Dishes include a spicy ceviche of red snapper and an irresistible green pea hummus. In the sun-dappled deli, guests can order homemade ice cream every afternoon.

Sunset Bar is also great for punchy cocktails, including incredibly strong Margaritas and sunset views. Book a private, romantic dining experience overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, ideal for couples on their honeymoon.
