When people imagine Cambodia, Angkor Wat often comes first. But just a few hours from the capital lies another treasure: 440 kilometers of coastline, dotted with fishing villages, turquoise waters, and sunsets that light up the horizon.

Here, life moves at a gentler pace. Villagers play volleyball at dusk, fishermen haul in the day’s catch, and the countryside stretches right to the sea.

At the heart of this landscape is Nesat Village — a creative, welcoming hub where Cambodian countryside meets international community.

Why Nesat Village?

Only 2.5 hours from Phnom Penh, Nesat Village (“Nesat” means fishing in Khmer) offers a coastal escape that’s both easy to reach and hard to forget. What began as a fishing hamlet has evolved into a lively destination where locals and internationals build together, sharing food, creativity, and experiences.

Here’s what makes Nesat Village stand out:

  • Quality food – fresh seafood, international kitchens, cafés, and artisan treats.

  • A place to stay your way – from boutique hotels to family apartments to laid-back guesthouses.

  • Experiences that connect – yoga, boat trips, live music, workshops, and evenings under the stars.

  • Nature everywhere – mangroves, beaches, a lagoon, a waterfall, rice fields, and tropical greenery as far as the eye can see.

The Coastline, in One Place

Cambodia’s coast is long and varied, but in Nesat you’ll find it all together:

  • The sea for swimming, fishing, and sunsets.

  • The countryside for quiet walks and village encounters.

  • The community for connection, creativity, and inspiration.

A Coastal Escape That Feels Like Home

Cambodia’s coastline is about more than beaches — it’s about slowing down, connecting with nature, and finding communities that welcome you in. Nesat Village captures it all in one place: the seaside, the countryside, and the creative energy of people who come not just to visit, but to belong.

Whether you’re coming for a weekend, a family holiday, or a creative retreat, Nesat is ready to welcome you with open arms.
