SONG SAA PRIVATE ISLAND

Cambodia RECOMMENDED BY Anthony Goldman and Aaron Spriggs

Representing ethical luxury par excellence, this retreat in the Koh Rong Archipelago reflects the beauty of the Cambodian coast. The 24 villas – on the beach, over the water and set among the trees – were built with sustainability in mind, explains Anthony, with energy-efficient thatched roofs, reclaimed sandstone, driftwood furniture and timber recycled from old fishing boats. “Song Saa practises what it preaches,” says Anthony, pointing to what makes this mind-bodysoul retreat so special. For those looking to indulge with friends, Aaron suggests booking the resort’s Royal Villa, as it can “accommodate up to 12 people for dinner with its own full kitchen”.
