SihanoukVille, Cambodia Beach and Island Resorts in 2010.

SihanoukVille, Cambodia is seeing a boom in it's resort and island scene in 2010.

Sokha Resort is doubling the number of rooms at it's current location, including dozens of bungalows on the lake, and building a 1,000 room resort a couple kilometers away.

Independence Hotel is also adding on new rooms, gardens and dining, and beach access, which will be finished by April 2010.

We've had a number of mini-resorts, smaller places with swimming pools, come on-line in the last few months.

None of SihanoukVille's islands, except for Mirax, have a full fledged resort, but in about 5 years, a couple dozen islands will.  A bridge, which will take 3 years to build is halfway through construction from the new marina to the island formerly known as Snake.

2010 looks like another busy year for SihanoukVille's Resorts.

SihanoukVille's Beach Resorts August and September 2008

Not much news on SihanoukVille's Resorts this rainy season.

Sokha Beach Resort has been doing O.K. hosting a few conferences and a fair occupancy rate. They are pretty well booked full for the next few Winter seasons already. The much bigger Sokha Resort planned for Ocheteaul Beach has started construction, and will be ready in a few years.

Independence Hotel is also doing well. The beach side bar is adding a kitchen, and plans are for some bungalow style rooms on the beach.

Mirax Island Resort ????

The Beach Club Resort on Ocheteaul Beach is nearing completion of a couple dozen more rooms, and will be expanding the restaurant offerings in the near future.

Two additions to the "mini" resorts soon, will be Aquarius, behind the Golden Sands Hotel, a small resort style hotel, and the existing Beach Road Hotel will be added to the list after completion of a few dozen new rooms and a swimming pool in the coming months.

Bridge construction is now visible from Victory and Hawaii beaches. The new bridge will link the mainland from the new marina to Snake Island, which is scheduled for a complete makeover.

More islands, which most people didn't know even existed here, have been leased for long time periods for additional resort building.
