Cambodia commences luxurious Prek Treng Beach resort construction in Sihanoukville

Cambodia has taken a bold step towards enhancing its coastal appeal as H.E. Say Samal, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning, and Construction, and his spouse, led the groundbreaking ceremony for the upscale public beach resort “Prek Treng Beach” yesterday (March 11 2025).

Held in Village 3, Sangkat 1, Sihanoukville, the event attracted provincial leaders, municipal officials, ministry representatives, and key stakeholders.

As Chairman of the National Committee for Coastal Area Development, Samal praised the project as a transformative endeavour to merge natural beauty with world-class infrastructure.

Prek Treng Beach is poised to redefine coastal tourism in Cambodia with an ambitious array of features: the preservation of its pristine white sand beach for locals and tourists alike, safe swimming zones secured by floating sea barriers, lush public parks, and shaded picnic areas along the shoreline, accessible walkways, including paths designed for people with disabilities, vibrant recreational zones with seating, sports facilities, and food truck areas meeting international standards, modern public restrooms complete with facilities for disabled visitors, renovated structures to enhance the visitor experience, sunshades and umbrellas for comfort, ample parking for cars and public transport, cutting-edge drainage and wastewater systems to uphold environmental excellence, and top-tier waste management to establish Prek Treng among the world’s cleanest beaches.

Once completed, Prek Treng Beach is expected to become a premier tourist destination, attracting both domestic and international visitors while boosting investment opportunities in Preah Sihanouk province. This high-end public resort aims to set a benchmark for sustainable, inclusive tourism in the region.
