The Best Hotels Near Six Senses Spa at Krabey Island, by the Record
-
The 12th-floor Sky Pool looks out over the Gulf of Thailand, which is a reasonable argument for booking a higher floor. This five-star resort in Sihanoukville draws on Indonesian and Khmer design, with coffered ceilings, patterned carpets, and smart glass across 236 rooms and suites. A spa, gym, Chinese restaurant, and an international dining room round things out. Otres Beach is ten minutes away when the pool loses its appeal.

Fifteen rooms around a pool, all facing the sea, with private balconies and Balinese outdoor showers built for standing in the rain and feeling smug about it. Tamu is a sleek boutique beach hotel on Otres Beach, the Cambodian stretch that hasn't quite made the group-chat rounds yet. Polished cement floors, wide white beds, coffee and cocktails served on daybeds in the sand. Kayaking, snorkeling, and yoga with the in-house instructor when the lounging gets competitive.

Three colonial villas on the Gulf of Thailand, designed by Vann Molyvann, Le Corbusier's most celebrated Cambodian student, give this boutique resort in Kep its architectural backbone. The 18 rooms have polished teak beds and private terraces, and the infinity pool stares out at the water in a way that makes sightseeing feel optional. Catamarans, kayaks, and paddleboards are on hand for guests who need a reason to feel virtuous about it.
