As a meeting place for journalists and travellers for many years, the Foreign Correspondents’ Club is one of the older establishments in Phnom Penh. The building occupies a prime waterfront position on Sisowath Quay, with a café on the street level and a number of bars, restaurants and accommodation over the floors above.

The Pavilion is a relaxing, boutique hideaway (adults only!) housed in a collection of period buildings on Street 19 just south of the Royal Palace. After entering via a doorway on the street, the ‘urban oasis’ tag is confirmed – the pool area and gardens are immediately welcoming, evoking feelings of a luxurious and abundant retreat.

We stumbled on this one as it was just up from our hotel (corner of Street 256 & Street 19). Even though this neighbourhood is fast becoming more upmarket, Villa Oeno stood out due to the modern exterior so we decided to pop in for a refreshing drink at the end of a hot day of sightseeing.

The best beach in the Sihanoukville area by far. Water is clean and clear, sand is white, very fine and mostly free of rubbish (except after storms). There are a few hawkers but a few more would be nice for food (fresh fruit, etc) so restaurant meals aren’t the only option. Motorcycles are $7 per day and worthwhile for exploring the surrounding beaches.

We stayed at Tamu Resort for 5 nights and ate at the restaurant on our first and last nights. The only reason we didn’t eat here every night was a desire to try as many places as possible. The menu isn’t huge but what’s there is clever and supplemented by daily specials such as tuna tar tar, lobster salad, scallop pasta and one of my favourites, prawn and cucumber salad.

With so much greenery around, this could feel a little dark and moist but instead it feels relaxed and welcoming with plenty of tables inside and comfortable lounge seating outside. Staff are friendly and service is reasonably efficient however there were a couple of times when we thought they could use another body or two on the floor.

We’ve been looking forward to experiencing Sihanoukville for some time and after loads of research, I’m confident that we chose our base well. The transfer from Phnom Penh (arranged by Tamu) was approximately 3 hours for us. With trucks, tractors, motorbikes and livestock using the same road, it’s an interesting drive.

Six Senses has been our ‘go-to’ for celebrations since 2007 when we celebrated my **th birthday with family and friends who had travelled from Australia. On that occasion, staff went above and beyond our expectations, even coming up with special touches we didn’t ask for. Everyone who attended agreed it was an evening to remember.
