Independence Hotel by Dara  

On Cambodia’s southern coast in Sihanoukville, a short stroll from Independence Beach. The resort sits minutes from Victory Beach and Sokha Beach and offers a private sandy shore — a solid pick for beach escapes and family-friendly stays.

A historic 1960s landmark revamped in 2007, blending French‑era architecture with contemporary luxury. Set on lush grounds (about 35 hectares) with sweeping ocean views and 128 rooms across eight categories, rooms feature air‑conditioning, flat‑screen TVs, minibars, bathrobes and rainfall showers.

Private white‑sand beach, outdoor pool and Jouvence Spa with hot tubs, massage rooms, sauna and steam bath. Fitness center, yoga area, kids’ playground, beach volleyball and sunset cruises round out the fun — plus free Wi‑Fi, picnic/BBQ spots and on‑site parking. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and unwind by the pool or beach bar.

24‑hour business center, meeting rooms and a 7104 sq ft (660 m²) conference center for events. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and free valet/car parking make meetings easy.

Two on‑site restaurants plus a coffee shop/café, lounge bar, beach bar and poolside bar. A complimentary English breakfast is served daily (7:30–10:30), with room service and snack options available.
