There are couple of places on the planet that make you breathe out the minute you arrive. Six Senses Krabey Island is one of them.
Just a 10-minute boat trip from Cambodia’s coast, this rich, private island feels worlds away from the mainland. You can hear the cicadas humming, waves lapping softly at the coast, and the rustle of palms as you’re driven in a buggy through the jungle to your vacation home. It’s peaceful, grounded, and effortlessly glamorous. It’s the kind of location that reminds you to decrease.
And what surprised me most? Simply how family-friendly it is.

Personal Swimming Pools and Jungle Views< figure class= "wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">< img loading="lazy"data-id ="53236" src="https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/six-senses-krabey-island-review-3-560x839.jpg"alt= ""class=" wp-image-53236 "width ="560 "design=" margin:10 px auto; max-width:560 px; max-width:100 %"> Every villa at 6 Picks up Krabey Island features its own personal swimming pool, which instantly made this trip feel easy and indulgent. We could swim while our boy snoozed, or view the
sunset from the deck without ever leaving the room. The style is that ideal 6 Senses mix– organic textures, wood and stone, soft light infiltrating the trees. It feels calm and restorative, yet loaded with quiet detail. Inside, there’s a deep soaking tub, a shower with a sliding door you can open to make it feel like an outside shower, and all the area you need to unpack and in fact feel comfortable. There is a different sitting area which was
perfect for transforming into a bed for our 3 years of age, and it provided us that separation of area we always crave on vacation– because who wants to
sit in the dark after their kids go to sleep at 7:30? It’s the kind of space that makes you think,” Okay, I could remain here permanently.”We had the ocean view pool vacation home suite which had that different sitting location space. I think it was ideal with a toddler
as we might still see the ocean while feeling like we were up in the trees. There are likewise jungle hideaway vacation homes, multi room homes, and beachfront suites. Sustainability You Can Feel 6 Senses has long been a leader in sustainable high-end, but here it’s not simply marketing– it’s something you feel. The island was as soon as barren and overfished, but today it’s lavish once again,
with thriving coral gardens and a marine conservation program that the resort actively supports. Guests can take part in hands-on workshops that show precisely how that commitment plays out. We enjoyed the mushroom foraging experience, where my kid had the ability to enter into their adorable mushroom hut and pick mushrooms (which he loves). They then prepared and served them to us at dinner!
We likewise attempted soap-making, using herbs and natural oils from the garden– a small however lovely
way to connect with the island and
bring a piece of it home. Family Time, Island Style< img loading="lazy"data-id=" 53229 "src= "https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/six-senses-krabey-island-review-10-560x746.jpg"alt="" class= "wp-image-53229"width= "560"style= "margin:10 px vehicle; max-width:560 px; max-width:100%"> < img loading=" lazy"data-id ="53234" src="https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/six-senses-krabey-island-review-4-560x839.jpg"alt =""class="wp-image-53234"width ="560" style =" margin:10 px vehicle; max-width:560 px; max-width:100% "> While Six Senses has a strong wellness and couples’ credibility– and it needs to– the health spa is big and every
visitor can book their sauna, steam bath, and cold plunge room for a completley personal(or couples )experience, all as part of their stay. I also take part in a bamboo massage and it was incredible. In addition, it turns out to be a dream for families, too. The kids club is welcoming and innovative, with whatever from a slide to crafts utilizing repurposed products. This is quickly one of our favorite family high-end hotels. There’s a small sandy beach ideal for toddlers who wish to sprinkle in calm, shallow water, and plenty of covert areas to check out around the island. It’s just sufficient experience for youngsters, with all the luxury that keeps parents delighted.
And since every villa has its own personal pool, we never ever had to compromise between
rest and play– something every taking a trip moms and dad understands is worth its weight in gold. Dining and Connection Look at this breakfast spread! Food is such an emphasize here. Everything is fresh, magnificently plated, and filled with local flavor.
The chefs focus on what’s seasonal and sustainable– even breakfast seemed like an occasion, with smoothies, tropical fruit, and freshly baked pastries that set the tone for the
day. Supper meant consuming outdoors under the stars, surrounded by the noises of the jungle, or in their treetop-themed restaurant which was an experience that felt like dining in a treehouse with all glass walls and stunning decor. It’s the kind of dining that’s elegant however unpretentious– a reflection of the whole 6 Senses experience. A Location That Teaches You to Slow Down < img loading="lazy" data-id="53230" src="https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/six-senses-krabey-island-review-9-560x839.jpg" alt ="" class="wp-image-53230" width="560" style="margin:10 px auto; max-width:560 px; max-width:100 %" > Six Notices Krabey Island isn’t about over-the-top splendour. It’s about balance– in between individuals and place, between high-end and purpose, in between household time and
quiet minutes of peace. It’s rare to find a resort that does all of that so naturally. The 6 Senses does not miss out on (read our Six Senses Yao Noi review here!)
This was the last stop on our week in Cambodia, starting in Siem Reap at Anantara Angkor, followed by a couple of days at Song Saa Private Island, which was the perfect itinerary. If you’re imagining a destination that reconnects you– with your enjoyed ones, with nature, and maybe even a calmer variation of yourself– this is that location.
Reserve through us for Virtuoso benefits, and let us design your family’s personal island escape to Six Picks up Krabey Island.
