For people traveling through North East Cambodia, all roads going to Laos, Vietnam, Ratanakiri and Mondolkiri converge in Kratie, a small town on the banks of the Mekong river.


Known mostly for the fresh water dolphins that dwell North of town, Kratie doesn't usually keep its visitors for more than a night. however now, a few hundred metres away from the town of Kratie in the middle of the mighty Mekong River, there is another Cambodia, a Cambodia still mostly passed over by the modern world.


Surrounded 8 months a year by white sandy beaches and constantly refreshed by the river’s breeze, the island of Koh Trong is some sort of Cambodian rural idyll.


No cars, but carts, smiling farmers, craggy fishermen and a rich soil that man turned into an orchard, “Koh del Trong bat Cheunchien”… “the island where the King lost his ring”… is a hidden paradise. 


The Rajabori Villas is an intimate resort, comprising 10 traditional Khmer wooden houses, located in the north of Koh Trong island opposite the provincial capital, Kratie. Access is by boat followed by tuk tuk or moped. The journey to the resort through the island's countryside is beautiful but takes a little time so, if you are in a hurry or turned off by the various manifestations of nature (insects, frogs, etc.), better to stay in Kratie, as clearly, Koh Trong island is not for you!

Rajabori’s villas and public spaces have been furnished and decorated in typical Khmer style, using artefacts and materials collected over the years from all provinces around Cambodia. the idea is to re create an old style Cambodian village in the protected environment of Koh Trong Island.
