Koh Russei

Koh Russei, also known as Bamboo Island, is about six miles off the coast of Sihanoukville Province in Cambodia, close to Koh Rong. This is a lovely island that is part of the Ream National Park, a nature preserve that protects the greatest number of endangered and threatened species on the planet. Koh Russei, a truly incredible place, is a popular getaway for a slice of secluded beaches surrounded by mangrove forests, which are home to many wildlife species of animals and birds. It is also known as Bamboo islands. While in Sihanoukville, it is recommended to take a day trip to Bamboo Island for a beach day.

Koh Russey is a true gem of a beach, with fine pink or ochre sand and a deep and mysterious forest. Koh Russey is ideal for those who enjoy the sun setting into the sea while being surrounded by jungle sounds. A gentle island, its virgin, private, and intimate characteristics make it a site for high-end development and positively compare with the world's most exclusive sites. Bamboo Island is accessible via private boat or from a beach near Ream National Park (about 20km east of Sihanoukville).
