Skybar Koh Rong

About Skybar Koh Rong

Skybar Koh Rong sits on a hill above the coast, catching a cooling breeze and wide views over the sea and jungle. Rooms are rustic-chic, with private terraces facing the sea or the trees.

The rooftop bar is the main event, serving cocktails as the sun goes down, and the restaurant specialises in fresh local seafood and international comfort food. Wi-Fi is free throughout, according to the property.

Why it works for a stay in Koh Rong

Koh Rong's sunsets are one of its highlights, and watching them from a hilltop bar, with the islands and the Gulf of Thailand spread out below, is hard to beat.

The elevated position means a fresher breeze and a quieter night than the beach bars below, while the village's restaurants and the pier are within reach.

The jungle trails that cross the island start close by, leading to quieter beaches and viewpoints. Bring good shoes and plenty of water.

After dark, many visitors take a boat out to see the bioluminescent plankton, which glows blue-green when you swim through it on moonless nights.

Koh Rong's jungle covers most of the island's interior, and the trails that cross it lead to quiet beaches, small waterfalls and viewpoints. Guided treks are the safest option, as paths can be steep and slippery after rain. Back at the top, the rooftop bar is a well-earned reward.
