Most of the beach hotels in Cambodia can be found in Sihanoukville, the country’s up-and-coming beach destination. Sihanoukville already drew Cambodia’s jetset to its golden beaches in the 60s but the party came to an abrupt end in 1970 when Cambodia descended into civil war. A few intrepid backpackers returned to Sihanoukville after the peace returned in 1993 and since then visitor numbers have risen steadily. After 30 years of housing only ghosts, the Independence Hotel is up and running again and more and more Khmers and expats have come to Sihanoukville to run bars and restaurants. This list presents the best beach resorts in Cambodia, as rated by visitors.
