Sabay Beach

Kampot


Those who make it all the way to Sabay Beach will be handsomely rewarded. From the palm-tree-flanked boardwalk and the dreamy bungalows to the darling open-air restaurant and the impeccable service, this unpretentious resort is one of the finest stays in the region.

Sabay also has its own swathe of sandy beach on the river, and the abundant fruit trees provide the ingredients for delicious smoothies.
