Six Senses Krabey Island

About Six Senses Krabey Island

With an island all to itself, Six Senses does beachy R&R and all-out sea days in style.

Emerging from a pure blue sea, Krabey has the appearance of a seaweed-encrusted shell dropped off Cambodia's southern coast. In actual fact, it's private resort island where shaded loungers sit on a secluded patch of beach, pearl-infused body masks await at the spa and the lush Ream National Park is a speedboat ride away (look out for dolphins on the way!). True to form, Six Senses was built to leave the smallest footprint and a conservationist will gladly show you the island's butterfly haven. Chic villas are dotted throughout 30 acres of jungle and wall-to-wall glass means the vistas are always a 10/10.

Property details

The property

In a quiet spot on the hillside, the infinity pool comes with top-tier views and if you tire from swimming (or reclining), enjoy a little hydrotherapy at the spa's whirlpool, try a sound bath or luxuriate with a 24-karat gold leaf facial. Enjoy everything from Pan-Asian cuisine on a sunny patio to Khmer seafood specialties at the lovely Tree restaurant. Below a shoal of paper fish, the Sunset Bar provides relaxed cocktails like the Khmer Mule on the day bed or hammock of your choosing. And for that sweet tooth, try one of the homemade gelatos at Double-Dip.

The rooms

You'll feel a million miles from any other guests at your private villa in the trees (some are closer to the sea). Topped with green living roofs, each has a private pool and sundeck, sleep-inducing mattresses and private bar selection. The living areas are decorated in cool pastels (with a TV and Nespresso machine) and the bathrooms have deep, oval tubs with a view. Some villas have two bedrooms, the most impressive being The Beach Retreat. On a private strip of beach, it has a large dining room, shaded pool and a bathtub on the rocks.

Activities

Before diving over reefs alive with colour, enjoy a stroll round the boardwalk that skirts the island or venture into the forest to see its riot of birdlife. Learn about Six Senses' conservation work, watch a film at the outdoor cinema and 'play the kid' on one of the many adult jungle gyms - or curl up with a book in the library's wicker pods. Jump aboard a speedboat to explore nearby islands (with a picnic beneath the palms), kayak or paddleboard down the coast, and lay out on powder-white beaches. Hike through Ream where you could spot a rhesus monkey chattering overhead, and stop for a dip in the Kbal Chhay waterfall.

Why we love it

We've got three words for you...Night plankton swimming! Boat out onto the bay and snorkel amongst a million bioluminescent phytoplankton in the balmy waters.

Insiders Tip

If you'd like to take your spa experience to a new level, visit the Alchemy Bar to create your own life-affirming mix of herbs.

Something to think about

Being a remote and completely private island, Krabey is only accessible by speedboat, which does rack up the price.
