Each of the 27 one- and two-bedroom villas offers a breathtaking ocean view, private deck and infinity plunge pool. Interior decor makes the most of the natural setting. The villas – some on stilts above the sea, some beside the water and others nestled into the forest -- feature thatched roofs, rustic timber beams, hardwood floors and stone walls. Other eye-popping details include floor windows to the sapphire water below, indigenous carvings, four-poster canopy beds and sunken tubs.

The Hunters have hired a predominately Cambodian staff, and this fact, combined with Chef Joel Wilkinson’s blend of traditional Khmer cuisine with contemporary international favorites, guarantees you the best of what Cambodia has to offer. The menu changes daily, as most ingredients are sourced locally. You can dine on your deck or at the overwater Vista restaurant.
