The first Alila ‘Villas’ resort outside of Bali, Alila Villas Koh Russey will be a 15-minute boat ride from the Cambodian coast
Alila is set to open a new five-star eco-resort on the Cambodian island of Koh Russey later this year.

The first Alila ‘Villas’ resort outside of Bali, Alila Villas Koh Russey will be a 15-minute boat ride from the Cambodian coast, and is surrounded by white-sand beaches and tropical forests. One- and two-bedroom villas each will have their own terrace, private pool and garden.

Designed by Singaporean architect Chioh-Hui Coh of the firm Studiogoto, the contemporary architecture is infused with Khmer ambiance, and the buildings will be constructed to Earthcheck certification standards.

The spa at Alila Koh Russey will include two double treatment rooms, three single treatment rooms and a contemporary interior design. Holistic treatments at the beachfront Spa Alila focus on Southeast Asian traditions. Therapists are trained in anatomical physiology, massage, meditation and service, and have a knowledge of organic nutrition and health.

Developed by CityStar, the resort will also feature a nursery, which aims to protect more than 20 species of trees indigenous to the island.
