How to get here
Beach House Cambodia is in M’Pai Bay beach village (aka 23 Village) on the stunning, remote island of Koh Rong Sanloem. To get here, take a 45mins speed boat from Sihanoukville mainland city with GTVC or BuvaSea.
We’ve learned about Cambodia travel over our years and happy to share tips and advice to arrive, or following your stay – please just ask.
Speed boat/ferry from Sihanoukville
We recommend you book online with GTVC speedboats.Ferries are new, fast and reliable services to/from M’Pai Bay.
An open return costs $25 (valid 2 weeks), you confirm your return ferry, from GTVC’s island office 1 day before departure.
GTVC:
- Sihanoukville >> M’Pai Bay (23/Village): 6am, 11.00 and 14.00 and 16.00
- M’Pai Bay >> Sihanoukville, depart: 6.35am, 11.35am, 14.35 and 16.45
Also good, fast and regular services. **Please always confirm 100% with BuvaSea – that they will arrive / depart from M’Pai Bay:
- Sihanoukville >> M’Pai Bay (23/Village): 8.30am, 9.45 and 11.30, 14.30 and 17.00
- M’Pai Bay >> Sihanoukville, depart: 6.30am, 9.30, 12.30am, 14.35 and 15.30
The staff will help you ensure you get the right boat – please be sure when boarding that it is to M’Pai Bay. They will check your ticket, ask as you board and ‘announce’ M’Pai Bay village, when you arrive. Usually it’s 2nd/3rd stop for M’Pai Bay.
As you walk off M’Pai Bay village pier turn right, walk 100m along the sand to Beach House Cambodia. Check in with the team and relax…
TAKE CARE – Over 5 different ferry services claim to go to Koh Rong Sanloem, but not all take you directly to M’Pai Bay. Especially linked bus tickets – may take you to Saracen Bay only, on Koh Rong Sanloem (which is then a wait + 30 min boat ride for $20 and hassle!)
From Koh Rong: A morning ‘supply boat’ departs about 6.30am or regular taxi boats runs from Koh Touch (main village on Koh Rong), to M’Pai Bay from $5 per person. We’ll be happy to organise a private taxi boat pick you up for $20 from Koh Touch, or more depending on your resort if prefer to come directly.

NO ATM!
There are NO ATMs – be sure to get your cash on mainland, and try to break it into smaller notes to avoid ‘the $100 change challenge!” Choosing Cambodian Riel can be helpful – 400,000R = $100, the ATM will give 8 x 50,000 notes ($12.50 bills).
We accept cash and credit / debit cards.
