While it was low season and covid has no doubt been hard on them, Lonely Beach could do with some more up-keeping, as there are parts that are a bit worn down or neglected and washed-up trash is scattered on areas of the beach. It’s part of the charm and the eco-conscious lifestyle Lonely Beach is going for, but it’s probably not for those who aren’t accustomed to sacrificing a few comforts. No running water, water is pretty still, everything is kind of damp, and I wouldn’t stay here if you aren’t comfortable fishing dead rodents out of your water supply…

Lonely Beach is a remote, untouched piece of paradise. Extremely peaceful and quiet with a beautiful beach that you basically get to yourselves. Huts are simple & basic but charming and rustic with main restaurant/communal area with delicious menu (huge portions) that are fresh and filling. Owned by Dani, a friendly, hospitable, slightly eccentric character and his pack of 7 dogs, he is committed to the eco conscious lifestyle and is incredibly thoughtful and helpful and knows the area, the land, and the people. 4 am plankton swims, sunrise on the beach, hammock lounges, great conversations with fellow travelers and playing games with a rambunctious 8-year old who was staying for the weekend all helped make our stay special.

For a solo female traveller, the place gets a little scary at night. The stories of break ins were enough to keep me awake as the windows/doors don’t lock properly. I did manage to catch some sleep after sunrise though!

Lonely beach is beautiful. During the day, it is stunning. The beach was unbelievable and was lucky enough to witness the most incredible sunset. The staff are also lovely.

We loved our stay at Lonely Beach so much. We very quickly felt at home after being welcomed by Dany and his dogs. Dany is so helpful, interesting, kind and Lonely Beach is worth visiting to meet Dany alone! You can learn a lot about life living on Koh Rong with both Dany and his also brilliant friend, Kylie- Kylie teaches the scuba diving of which he is very patient and a good teacher. Then on top of that, you have his gorgeous doggos who have the most lovely temperament much like their owner. You will be welcomed by them every time you visit and they are very intelligent and learn new skills very quick. This place also attracts very interesting people also. The grounds are beautiful and in the day you can explore the local villages and beaches, then in the evening you can swim with the plankton and then go back to the room where you can sleep with the bats- there is no rabies on Koh Rong and there are mosquito nets too which are fascinating to sit in and watch the bats all flying around the room catching all the mosquitos (they don’t go near the mosquito nets). I was scared of the bats at first but very quickly became fond of them- they are completely harmless, we were there 5/6 nights (lose track of time here), Dany has been for 13 years and never any issues. It seems daunting but such a unique experience that I’d recommend to anyone. The water to wash with is very clean and refreshing, the room is clean and very large also. I am really sad to have left Lonely Beach and want to return to Koh Rong, purely just to visit again. Thank you Dany, Kylie and all the dogs for such an amazing experience. We miss you very much.

With electricity being a premium on this part of the island the rooms didn't have a fan or AC so they got really hot at night

The bar and hangout area set up is really good and they make some really nice food. The staff were really nice and helpful if I had any issues. The location is perfect!

The food was amazing, could be better than some expensive places on the island. Everything else is subjective. If you want off grid extreme privacy. That's it. The beach is not as beautiful as the main beaches.

Perfect to switch off for several days. Dany is a lovely guy with a great thing going on. We got a really good feeling arriving here after the long journey. The food was really delicious and fresh, we loved it!

If you want to experience the real beach wild life this is your place. Location is incredible as you sleep in your jungle bungalow in front of white beach with no signs of civilization around you. On top of that, other things which I really loved were swimming in the plankton at night and great food from the kitchen. Truly great experience.

Unique place with essential living, not excessive. Very close to nature and feel like a private beach.

This is an amazing paradise. The wodden houses are at a wonderful and clean beach. The food of the place is a bit higher in price but it is delicious. I recommend totally this incredible paradise in the middle of the nature. Perfect to relax, read, swim and eat great food. There are also some activities if you are interested.

We only stayed one night, but everything seemed alright and tidy! We arrived late, but were still able to charge our phones, which was nice (solar powered) and have some food. Everything is very basic but in the most beautiful and sustainable way.

there’s nothing we didn’t like about this place as we enjoy outdoor living. you share the space with a lot of wildlife so if that’s not your it’s thing definitely not for you!

A stay at Lonely Beach is perfectly simple beach life. The staff and clientele are lovely people and everybody works hard to keep a relaxed and easy going atmosphere. The beach itself is beautiful and the buildings are beautifully handmade. The food is also top notch.

It was one of my best staying in my life. It was exceptional ! The food was so delicious and big portions. Dani smiley with ecological spirit

Given that the place is designed to be eco-friendly, the amenities are minimal, so at night it can get quite hot without a fan. But that's part of the experience and the overall ambience of the place makes it worth it to sacrifice those little luxuries.

Beautiful quiet beach, where you can get away from all the noise, take in nature, and see bioluminescent plankton at night. Dany, the staff, and the scuba diving instructor were all very friendly, and the food was delicious as well. Would highly recommend!

Nothing really, but it does get a bit hot without a fan at night... but that’s just what comes with the territory.

The most magical experience we’ve had. A little commune in the jungle filled with the loveliest people and the best energy of life. Dany and the rest of the staff were so incredibly warm and welcoming. Thank you! It’s very basic in the best way, everything runs on solar energy and water preservation which is amazing and refreshing to experience. At night you can even go and swim with the plankton under the stars. It’s truly an experience of a lifetime and would 100% recommend for those who seek this kind of experience.

A fan in the rooms would be great, but recognizing it is complex to have reliable electricity in such a remote location. Reliable Internet connection would also be great to work remotely from Lonely Beach.

The relax spot in a preserved nature with a beautiful beach, the very kind staff, and good food full of veggies.

Amazing, quiet beach with bungalows away from the main tourist areas of Koh Rong. The food in the restaurant area was always amazing!

Stayed in March 2023

The only thing that I can say about the place was that you have some quite hot nights without air conditioning and fans. but it is no problem when you wake up in that beautiful place.

really really nice people at lonely beach. The beach is something else. it’s a paradise on earth and you have it all for yourself. if you want to relax and enjoy a beautiful beach you should definitely go to lonely beach. amazing place and the people at the place are really sweet and helpful.

David the manager is the highlight of the place! No, seriously, we totally enjoyed everything: the clean beaches, the best vibe at the restaurant and the greatest view from the outdoor bathrooms. 😎 100% worth it! And we forgot to mention the dogs and the cats…

Best place to stay in koh Rong! Very quiet, secluded beach. Owners are lovely, restaraunt serves delicious food with so many veggie/vegan options. You can rent snorkels for 2$ a day. So many cute dogs and cats. I could not recommend more. Don't waste your time in any other place on the island and come here!
