With its white sand, turquoise water and a handful of discreet places to stay, it really lives up to its name. Far from the island's busier beaches, it's a lovely place to enjoy the sea and some peace and quiet.

LGBTQ+ friendly

A welcoming place open to LGBTQ+ people.

Onederz Koh Rong

Right on Long Set Beach, Onederz is a bar and restaurant whose atmosphere changes throughout the day. During the day, things are pretty laid-back: you can settle into a sun lounger, enjoy the beach and have a drink overlooking the sea. But from late afternoon, the atmosphere gradually picks up! Between happy hours, DJ nights, fire shows and pub crawls, there's almost always something going on.

Beach Bar Koh Rong

Just a stone’s throw from the pier at Long Set Beach, this little cocktail bar is a great place to enjoy a drink with some good music in the background and a relaxed atmosphere. On certain nights, though, things change completely: it’s one of the stops on Koh Rong’s pub crawl, and the mood gets much livelier!
