Koh Rong in 3 days: what to see and where to stay

Koh Rong in 3 days: what to see and where to stay

Short answer

Spend your three days exploring Koh Rong's beaches and dining scene, staying at a beachfront hotel or guesthouse. Each day centres on a different part of the island: Long Beach's restaurants and bars, Sok San Beach's water sports, and quieter coves for swimming and relaxation.

A three-day visit to Koh Rong balances water and food. Stay at White Sand Ark Resort on Sok San Beach for beachfront access and water activities, or choose Koh Rong Villas, a guest house within walking distance of Long Beach's action.

Day one starts on Long Beach, where you can eat fresh seafood at Barracuda Seafood Restaurant right on the sand, then grab wine and charcuterie at The Balcony Koh Rong - Wine & Cheese House as the sun sets. Turkish food and beer are a short walk away at Sunny Turkish Restaurant. Accommodation options near this stretch include Antalya Hotel / Restaurant, a hostel on the main walking street, or the well-reviewed Lily's Riverhouse, which has 463 reviews and draws visitors for its sunset dining experience.

Day two takes you to Sok San Beach on the island's eastern side, where Golden Beach Surf Club offers lessons and board rentals for first-timers and experienced surfers alike. White Sand Ark Resort sits here with beachfront access and a quiet setting. Lunch comes at Phorn's Rock & Reggae Bar, a family-run beach restaurant on a quieter stretch of coast.

Day three is for smaller discoveries: swim at secluded spots, visit Cookies on Koh Toch Beach for fresh-baked brownies and cakes, or stop at Ava Café near Long Set pier for espresso before your departure. Accommodation ranges from hostels at around 10 USD to guest houses and hotels between 6 and 67 USD per night. With 99 accommodations listed across categories, you will find options to suit your budget and style.

What is the best time to visit Koh Rong?

November to April, the dry season, offers calm seas, clear skies, and stable weather. The rainy season from May to October brings rougher water and occasional storms, though it is quieter and cheaper.
