Six Senses Krabey Island’s Sensational Setting
SIX SENSES KRABEY ISLAND OPENS IN CAMBODIA WITH UNBEATABLE OFFERS AND A SUPREME SETTING TO ENTICE ITS FIRST GUESTS.
Cambodia isn’t first in mind when one talks about exotic tropical island retreats. One’s first thought is more likely to be about Anchor Wat and its impressive World Heritage site. Six Senses Krabey Island adds one more iconic image to Cambodia’s holiday destination.
A GEM OF A HIDEAWAY
When the resort flung open the doors of its 40 private pool villas to welcome its first guests they stepped off the speedboat to this gem of an island hideaway with dense tropical jungle, and rocky coastline surrounded by azure waters.
The landscaped 30-acre private island is located three miles (5 kilometers) off Ream National Park in the Gulf of Thailand in southern Cambodia. From Sihanouk International Airport, it is a 10-minute drive to the resort’s mainland reception for the short 15-minute crossing to Krabey Island. Remote enough, yet not cut off from a country offering abundant culture and history.
CARING NOT TO SPOIL
With an at-one-withnature environment such as this, huge care has been taken not to spoil it. The villas are sumptuous, sustainable and thoughtfully-designed, with green living roofs and maximum use of natural daylight. Each has a sundeck for lounging and alfresco dining with infinity-edged plunge pools and rain showers. And because all that relaxation is exhausting, each bedroom offers the groundbreaking Sleep With Six Senses standard for a good night’s sleep.
The resort includes two unique restaurants with menus focused on quality local produce and seasonality, much of it grown at the resort’s own 40,000sqft organic farm and herb garden.
A TWIST ON KHMER CUISINE
At the resort’s signature restaurant Tree, dishes offer a modern twist on traditional Khmer cuisine with a creative interpretation of Southeast Asian flavors while AHA serves an eclectic menu of light yet satisfying international favorites for lunch and dinner.
There is the Sunset Bar, furnished with comfy sofas, lazy hammocks and a generous side order of sun dipping over the Gulf of Thailand. An ice
cream parlor serves up more than 15 flavors daily on a complimentary basis for guests.
DEEPER TREATMENTS
It’s hard not to be lured by the expansive Six Senses Spa which is inspired by the sacred Khmer Kbal Spean River, offering a wide range of holistic rejuvenation and beauty treatments. For those who want to go deeper into their health, the Six Senses Integrated Wellness screening can help create a personalized programme to boost metabolism, energy levels and brain power. The spa incorporates a comprehensive gym, rooftop yoga pavilion, indoor aerial yoga studio, Crystal Water Room, Meditation Cave and the Alchemy Bar, for blending natural skin care products and essential oils using pure local ingredients.
Sleep restored and chakras rebalanced, there are activities for all ages and energy levels including water sports, fishing, snorkeling, speedboat excursions to neighboring islands, an organic farm visit with cooking classes, night sky observatory, horizon lap pool, jungle fitness circuit and the open-air Cinema Paradiso. “The Nest” kids’ club welcomes children between four and 12 years of age and incorporates the Grow With Six Senses approach for reconnecting young guests with nature through play.
SUITABLY SUSTAINABLE
Sustainability initiatives include the resort’s own water bottling plant with reusable glass bottles, Earth Lab, and the support of school programmes in nearby villages as well as the introduction of sustainable practices within local communities.
All Six Senses properties share a leadership commitment to community, sustainability, wellness and design, infused with a touch of quirkiness. Whether an exquisite island resort, mountain retreat or urban hotel, the enduring purpose is to help people reconnect with themselves, others and the world around them.
