Inspired by a traditional Cambodian fishing village, at least architecturally, the luxury resort of Song Saa is Cambodia's first private island development. Consisting of 27 individual villas, most of which have already sold to Asian buyers, the resort can be reached by speedboat from the nearby Sihanoukville international airport or directly from the famous temples at Angkor Wat via seaplane. One of the few unsold units, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom villa measures 3,200 square feet and boasts stunning water views, a private pool, and an aesthetic developed by Australian owners Rory and Melita Hunter. Rory, previously of advertising firm Saatchi & Saatchi, and Melita, a designer, happened upon the unspoiled islands while exploring in a fishing boat. The one-bedroom villa is currently offered for $1.75M.
