Glampings in Koh Ta Kiev

Gwendolyn Bahrein

The island is a slice of paradise, pristine beaches, forest, not many people. Cell phone reception is minimal, so a good place to relax and enjoy the ocean. The water is heavenly, you can go snorkeling just off the beach to see a coral reef and there are trails for bush walks. The food is fresh and cooked with care and the atmosphere is really nice. If you're used to western comforts, this is a return back to basics, but totally worth it! Be self sufficient, bring everything you need, also enough cash and live life in your bathing suit!

Kactus Koh Ta Kiev was, to be put simply, the best place I stayed in Cambodia, if not in my entire south-east Asia trip. From the idyllic location on a secluded beach (where you can snorkel and see bioluminescent plancton just by swimming at night to the shores) on the magical island of Koh Ta Kiev (white sand beaches with pristine blue waters, dense jungle hikes) which for now has only 2-3 hotels on it; to the amazing staff that run the place and really love what they do, offering free yoga and tao classes, crazy plancton night tour, the night fires and games, delicious cocktails and food, comfy jungle dorms and clean jungle bathroom (beware of the insects and other animals, but that's part of the experience!) - Kactus will forever stay in my heart!
