Lonely Beach

Not easy getting here as a few km off the main road, not for the inexperienced scooter rider. The beach is so worth it with an amazing restaurant. Ignore the lady at the first parking spot as the worst of the roads are done, the biking is easier after this.

If you seek isolation, basic jungle living (with good home cooking) with a near deserted perfect tropical beach, as we did, you will not be disappointed. Dany our host was charming and helpful. It obviously has beed a tough couple of years following the pandemic, so its like a rebirth here. A day on this beach is about as relaxing and quiet as you can experience anywhere in the World. Oh and the night swims with the Luminous Plankton unreal

We stopped here for lunch twice during our stay on Koh Rong! Great food and even better atmosphere. The staff were super helpful and nice to chat with. We would highly recommend! The beach is amazing, too. Make sure to get the pita, it’s very tasty.

Our stay at Lonely Beach was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Arriving by boat, we carried our bags through the Palm Beach resort and up some steep steps where we were met by our motos drivers which we’d arranged with Danny - our host. The ride was exhilarating if a little hairy but as soon as we arrived, we were in paradise. Yes it’s basic (no AC, WiFi, running water) but that’s why you’re there and why it’s so affordable. It felt amazing to get back to basics with a bracing bucket shower each day 😁 The food and drinks were the most unexpected highlight - one particular salad I’ve already tried recreating since returning home. Service was speedy and always with a smile. Danny is an off-beat, funny and kind host. He encouraged us to swim with the bioluminescent plankton which was a beautiful experience and took loads of great pics of us 😁 If you’re used to 5* service - manage your expectations. Embrace the nature and bring an open mind. Covid hit hard and times are tough! The views, sunset and the peace found were both stunning and transformative.

One of the best places I have been, and I travel a lot. Just no words to describe the place, the beach, the nature. I went solo and the welcome was excellent. Danny and his team are not only super helpful but also the sweetest people. It's a bit remote (but just 25km from the village) but it makes all the sense when you arrive in. It was funny to see the faces of other travellers who arrived later than me, like WoW! The food also surprised me very positively. He offers many vegetarian and vegan options, and this is difficult when you are away from the main village, offering much more options and when logistics are more complicated. The owner is fluent in few languages, including the local language, what made it very easy to communicate with the cooker, a lovely local. He also tries to help us much as possible and he gave me lots of info about the country and the Island. I really enjoyed my stay there and I highly recommend it to free spirits who are looking for a real getaway. Unforgettable spot in the island and unforgettable stay

This is a bit of a trek from Koh Touch ( $10 pp / one way moto trip ) It is a truly beautiful place with a stunning beach and lovely friendly hosts however it feels quite run down and tired - little maintenance/cleaning of communal washing areas and no fans to be found anywhere . The sleeping huts have tin rooves . It was extremely hot during our stay for 3 days and I literally melted - even the communal restaurant has no fans . It is all solar powered but still could have been considered . Be prepared to share bathing water with frogs and tadpoles and remove spiders from huts as the huts are in the jungle area . The food was amazing but at top end of prices for the island . Lovely place but be prepared to go back to basics ! You need a torch / mossie / sand fly repellant & good books !
