Six Senses Krabey Island
Sihanoukville, Cambodia · Six Senses · Apex Luxury
Six Senses Krabey Island occupies an entire private 12-hectare island in the Gulf of Thailand, reached by a 15-minute speedboat from the mainland near Sihanoukville, with Ream National Park visible across the water. The resort's 40 freestanding pool villas earned Michelin Three Keys in 2025 and mark Six Senses' debut in Cambodia. With only forty villas on a twelve-hectare island, the density is among the lowest of any Cambodian resort, and the coast of Ream National Park, one of the country's largest protected areas, is in view from the water.
- 40 rooms
- Opened 2019
- Neighborhood: Ream Commune
- Rooms from 829 sq ft (77 m²)

About Six Senses Krabey Island
- The resort occupies the whole of Koh Krabey, a 12-hectare island; with only 40 villas, that works out to roughly 0.3 hectares per villa — a density ratio among the lowest of any Cambodia resort and a direct expression of Six Senses' low-impact philosophy.
- Krabey Island opened in March 2019 after nearly a decade of development and planning, representing Six Senses' first property in Cambodia — extending the brand's Southeast Asia footprint after Ninh Van Bay (Vietnam) and Con Dao.
- The island sits off Ream National Park, one of Cambodia's largest protected areas, meaning guests can see undisturbed primary coastal forest from the water without leaving the resort's speedboat transfer route.
- The resort holds Michelin Three Keys (2025), the guide's top accommodation honour, placing it in the same tier as Amansara in Siem Reap and making Cambodia one of the few Southeast Asian countries with two Three-Key properties.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 829 sq ft (77 m²).
History

The resort blends into the 12-hectare island's lush tropical forest, serving as a haven for birds and butterflies while incorporating local Khmer elements like stilt houses and Kru Khmer remedies. It emphasizes eco-friendliness, with green roofs, organic farms, and community support, reflecting Six Senses' commitment to wellness and sustainability.
