Best Sunset Spots in Cambodia

The classic Angkor sunset spot — a hilltop temple with 360° views over the jungle canopy and distant Angkor Wat silhouette. Limited to 300 visitors at a time.

An unobstructed ocean sunset from a nearly deserted beach. The sky turns every shade of orange and pink, reflected in the wet sand.

Watch the sunset paint the Praek Tuek Chhu river gold while sipping a cocktail at one of the riverside bars. The old French colonial buildings glow in the golden hour.

The best mainland sunset in Cambodia. Beachfront bars serve cocktails while the sun drops into the Gulf of Thailand. Quieter and prettier than Serendipity.

A boat ride on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake as the sun sets over floating villages. The sky reflects perfectly in the calm water.

The capital's skyline rooftop bars offer sunset views over the Mekong-Tonle Sap confluence. Eclipse Sky Bar and Sora are the highest options.

At 1,080m elevation, sunsets here look out over the entire Gulf of Thailand coastline. Often dramatic with clouds rolling through the abandoned French buildings.

A less-crowded alternative to Phnom Bakheng with equally stunning sunset views. This 10th-century temple has steep steps leading to panoramic jungle views.

A west-facing secluded cove with a single eco-resort. The sunset here is completely private — just you, the resort guests, and the ocean.

Watch the sun set behind Rabbit Island from the breezy terrace of this oceanfront restaurant. Cold beer, fresh crab, and a view that never gets old.
