Tamu offers guests a chance to experience simple beach living in this chic new beachfront hotel on the most beautiful beach in Sihanoukville; Otres Beach. Those looking for a pristine, sprawling 5 star resort – you have come to the wrong place. However, if you are looking for a small, modern hotel offering an intimate experience, a stunning beach and a laid back vibe then Tamu is ideal.

The rooms are minimalist, with polished concrete floors, outdoor bathrooms and day beds on terraces overlooking the central lap pool. And then there’s the beach: white sand dotted with loungers and mattresses, swaying palm trees and an inviting blue ocean perfect for a midday cool down. If you should happen to feel a little more adventurous you can kayak, kitesurf, snorkel or take a day trip to the neighbouring islands.

For wining and dining, there’s a bar and restaurant on the sand serving a crowd-pleasing menu and for those after a little more choice, you can stroll down the beach to try one of the many beach bar alternatives.

The local town is just a 15 minute tuk tuk ride from the beach and is the ideal place to stock up on books and sun cream, as trust me; you won’t want to spend long away from Otres Beach.
