SihanoukVille Cambodia Beach Resorts
SihanoukVille, Cambodia. South-East Asia's Premier beach destination.
Cambodian beaches, islands, seafood, culture and hospitality. It's all here.
SihanoukVille, named after King Sihamoni's Father, King Sihanouk, has grown from a sleepy Cambodian seaside town, into
Cambodia's second biggest city.
While still in it's infancy, SihanoukVille now features a handful of world class
luxury beach resorts, island resorts and hotels. It's also South-East Asia's newest cruise destination.
Winter, from the beginning of November until the end of February, is the best
time of year here. Not too hot, and perfect weather most days. March 'till the end of June is a bit cloudy, hot, with some rain. July 'till the end of October.... rain.
The airport isn't running, and the golf courses haven't come yet, however, it's a great time to visit SihanoukVille. The town still hasn't been spoiled by rampant
tourism, and the islands are just opening up to visitors. The town is growing very fast, so now is the perfect time to come visit SihanoukVille!
See you soon!
Considering the moderate number of visitors to Sihanoukville, the town offers a surprising number and variety of restaurants and bars.
Fresh seafood, especially crab, prawns and ocean fish, has always been one of the town's biggest draws, but there is also a wide variety of places offering foreign cuisines -
Australian, French, Indian, German, Sri Lankan, British, Italian, pizza places, a couple of western bakeries and even a espresso coffee shop.
And these days Sihanoukville offers a pretty good night life as well with a wide variety of bars staying open well into the wee hours, especially on Weather Station Hill, in the
downtown area, and the beach bars on Ochheuteal, ‘Serendipity’ and Victory Beaches

Sihanoukville has a different look and feel than most Cambodian towns. Constructed as a port city in the late 1950s, the town is much newer, more urban and cosmopolitan than most Cambodian provincial cities.
Nowadays, Sihanoukville is as much a beach town as it is a port town, catering to beach-going weekenders from Phnom Penh as well
as a steadily increasing number of foreign visitors. Still, the pace of life in Sihanoukville is very relaxed.
Cows occasionally wander the main road, outside town foreign faces draw smiles and curious stares, and most of the beaches offer
only beach umbrellas, thatched roofed eateries, and a growing number of restaurants, bungalows and hotels.
Sihanoukville has a more than ample supply of accommodations, including a 5-star resort complex on Sokha Beach, several mid-range
places downtown and at the beaches, a few 'upscale' three-star hotels, and dozens of budget guesthouses, especially on Weather Station Hill (Victory Hill).
