Sleeping Trees is a secluded resort on Sunset Beach, Koh Rong Samloem, featuring tents and bungalows positioned directly on white sand overlooking turquoise water. The property offers hammocks, beach chairs, and wooden seating nestled under trees, creating shaded spots throughout the grounds. The on-site restaurant serves wood-fired pizza, open-fire BBQ, and crepes, with a selection of Chilean wines.
Reaching the resort requires either a 30-minute jungle trek or a boat (with final access via wading or water taxi). The beach itself sees minimal crowds even during high season, offering an quiet, natural setting far removed from the busier party scene of nearby Koh Rong.

Le quartier
Sleeping Trees sits on Sunset Beach on the island of Koh Rong Samloem, Cambodia. The location is deliberately remote—accessible by a 30-minute jungle trek from the nearest pier, or by boat with final wading access. The beach remains quiet even during peak season, with only a handful of accommodation options nearby.
Bon à savoir
Cash is essential; card facilities are limited. The trek to the resort involves rough jungle paths; guests with substantial luggage may prefer the boat option via M'Pai and water taxi, which offers direct drop-off. Expect minimal wifi and mobile signal. Mosquitoes and wildlife are present but part of the natural island environment.

A true slice of paradise, with secluded golden-white sand, gorgeous sunsets, delicious food, and tents right on the beach!
It’s about a 30 minute trek to get here, but that just adds to the secluded jungle feel, and makes this beach all the more special. Those who want to skip the walk can book a boat, which still requires splashing the last few meters.
The beach itself is extraordinary - easily the best I visited between Koh rong and Koh rong samloem, significantly more untouched and private than Saracen bay. There are beach chairs and hammocks dotting the shore, with lots of options for shade or sunbathing. The sunsets are the highlight - every night was new and beautiful.
The tents themselves are right on the beach, and very spacious. No air con but the provided fan keeps it cool enough at night, and the water sprayer is helpful for sandy feet! The shared bathrooms were relatively rustic but always clean and available, with plenty of water.
The food options were all good-great, with a highlight being the crepes! Lots of fun and strong cocktails as well, having a mai tai at sunset was a huge highlight. There are a few other restaurants along the beach, so it’s easy to try different options.
This beach also has bioluminescent plankton! You can either see it late at night from the beach itself, or by booking a kayak tour next door, which I would highly recommend. It’s like swimming in an ocean of stars.
Overall a huge highlight of my 6 months backpacking, and the perfec
The bay of sunset beach is an incredibly beautiful place. Thankfully, it's not a party place (that's Koh Rong, the other island). This stretch of white sand and turquoise water is home to just a couple of places to stay. Even in high season it never gets packed. Everybody will find his or her spot.
The lovely accommodation at Sleeping Trees with bungalows and yurt-style tents offers lots of shade and different kinds of seating (hammocks, sun chairs, wooden benches etc.) underneath the trees with a picture perfect view of the bay. Additionally, a perfectly positioned swing gives you the chance to enjoy some amazing bay views. Apart from this, it's soooo relaxing lying in a hammock and letting the time go by. Moreover, there are two really sweet cats that love to be pet and cuddled by guests (but no pressure if you don't like cats). To sum it up: Staying here will make you feel like an incredibly fortunate castaway.
The common area with restaurant, bar, pool table and darts is well arranged. It has a shelf with a diverse compilation of books and card games that might keep you busy on rainy days.
The French owner takes care that you will get a great breakfast with yummy crepes (our pick: go for the ones with homemade mango jam!), fresh fruit (juice) or muesli. For lunch there are good salads and savory crepes with your choice of toppings. In the evening the restaurant has alternating barbeque or wood fired pizza on offer (the BBQ mackerel with ratatouille was amazing!).
Ever
Great place on a stunning beach. The staff were super helpful, the food was great too. They have snorkels behind the bar that you can borrow for free, and so many hammocks and deckchairs to relax in. It’s quite wild, so just be prepared for little wifi / no signal, and a lot of mosquitos and wildlife (but so many fish for snorkelling!) And make sure you have cash! But it’s so worth it, you will be hard pressed to find a beach as beautiful as this!
One thing to note if you are planning to walk from Eden pier. If the waves are too choppy, the ferry will drop you off at a different pier on Saracen bay, which is a long way from there the walk starts. But you can get a quad bike from there to take you across the island and drop you off at the top of the hill above sunset beach. The walk down is steep but not for too long, we did it with big backpacks. For the way back, staff will call the ferry companies to know which pier to go to, and can ring the quad bike driver to come and pick you up on the hill at your desired times.
*Note: this review is related to Sleeping Trees restaurant offering only. It is not a review of their accommodation offering.
This spot is well known for a couple key offerings: 1) their wood fire pizza and their open fire BBQ plates; and, 2) their crepes (with savoury and sweet).
We can highly recommend their open fire BBQ evenings (which they rotate with the wood fired pizza nights), and any and all crepes. The owner is French so it’s safe to say that he takes his crepes seriously!
He also takes his wine seriously. He stocks excellent Chilean wines for a fair price. It’s worth making a nice glass of wine (or a full bottle of same) a part or your meals here.
Note: unlike the other businesses along Sunset Beach these folks welcome credit cards as payment, even if you’re not an overnight guest.

If you have more luggage than 'just' a backpack, we would recommend taking the boat to M'Pai and continuing by watertaxi (very easy to obtain in M'Pai) from M'Pai to Sunset Beach. The water taxi will drop you (and your luggage :)) off right in front of Sleeping Trees #easy.
We didn't know about this option, so we booked the boat to Saracen Bay. From there, we went by scooter (scooter drivers will be waiting at the pier - we paid 15 USD for 2 scooters) to the jungle path 'entrance' to Sunset Beach. From there on continued by foot. With all of our luggage, it took us about 45 minutes to get to Sleeping Trees. Although it was unique, we did not want to repeat that experience, so when we checked out, we booked a water taxi that picked us up at the beach (see description above - we only paid 30 USD, as we shared the taxi with another couple we paid 7.50 USD p/person).
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at one of Sleeping Trees' bungalows, having the comfort of a bed, shower and a toilet.
There is a super relaxed atmosphere at Sleeping Trees, and at no point did it feel crowded, although it was almost fully booked. The beach is clean, and when you wake up, you can dive right in. Yves is 'the rock' of this place; if you have questions or need help, you can ask him.
We stayed for 10 days and we could have stayed longer. All the other resorts are on walking distance, so you can get some variety when it comes to food and drinks. We would happily stay again!
