Cambodian Maldives: Koh Rong Island offers beaches like from a catalog

If you have ever wanted to fulfill the dream of azure blue lagoons and white sandy beaches with palm trees at least once in your life, you don't have to head only to luxurious exotic destinations. There are also places that offer equally beautiful sun-drenched experiences at prices that will pleasantly surprise you. One of them is Koh Rong island, the second largest island of Cambodia located in the southwest of the country.

White sand and crystal clear sea – you will meet tourists here only a few months a year

The island, with an approximate area of 78 square kilometers, could be called a true paradise on earth, moreover this place does not suffer from excessive tourist pressure. You can find a total of 23 beautiful beaches with white sand here.

The beaches are the main attraction that draws tourists to the island. The beaches stretch along almost 50% of the coastline. Still, the greatest charm of the whole island lies in the fact that it is largely untouched and offers beautiful natural scenery.

What to do on the island? Go on the water, or under the water

Besides long hours spent on the beach, you can also spend your time on the island with a number of other activities, including the option to take a boat trip around its shores. The locals know very well which places to show you! If you want the most authentic experience possible, arrange a trip with a local fisherman.

If you desire an even more adventurous experience, try to arrange a trip to one of the local diving destinations and dive into the beautiful depths full of life. All the equipment will gladly be lent to you at the local diving centers, and they will also explain what and how so that you can enjoy the depths as much and as safely as possible.

When you are tired of the ocean, you can head to the High Point amusement park, which allows you to explore the beautiful natural jungle. You will float high in the treetops, walk on 25 wooden platforms interconnected by ladders, suspension bridges, and enjoy the zipline. It is 130 meters full of adrenaline, which is an interesting addition to a sunny holiday.

So, what do you say? When are you setting off? :-)
