Sihanoukville, Cambodia – 10 March 2026 JATI Koh Russey will celebrate its first anniversary this April, marking a successful opening year that has quickly positioned the resort as one of Cambodia's most distinctive island destinations.

Located on Koh Russey in the Koh Rong Archipelago, JATI offers a rare combination of tropical seclusion and convenient accessibility. Just a short speedboat transfer from the mainland, the resort is easily reached via Sihanoukville International Airport or Phnom Penh International Airport, making it an effortless escape for both regional and international travellers.

Set within 46 hectares of lush tropical forest, JATI features 82 spacious villas, many of which are directly on the beachfront and some of which have private pools. Inspired by Khmer culture and natural materials, the resort blends contemporary comfort with the relaxed rhythm of island life, offering guests space, privacy, and an authentic sense of place.

Over the past year, JATI has welcomed travellers seeking a different kind of luxury — one defined not by excess, but by atmosphere, genuine hospitality, and meaningful experiences. Guests spend their days exploring the island's natural beauty, enjoying sunrise walks along the beach, kayaking along the coastline, or unwinding at the Bamboo Spa. The resort also offers a range of activities, including tennis, pickleball, and curated island experiences that celebrate the surrounding landscape.

Dining has become an essential part of the JATI experience. The resort's culinary concepts include Bai Sor, which celebrates traditional Khmer cuisine, as well as Koko Steakhouse and the Le Manolis Wine Bar, both well-known in Phnom Penh. The lively Beach Club brings a relaxed coastal atmosphere to the island, serving freshly grilled seafood and Cin Cin's wood-fired pizzas just steps from the sea.

General Manager Stephan Rohrer credits the resort's first-year success to the dedication of its team and the island's unique character. “From the beginning, our goal was never simply to offer rooms,” Stephan said. “We wanted to create genuine island hospitality and memorable experiences for our guests. I'm incredibly proud of the team and what we have built together during this first year.”

As JATI approaches its first anniversary, the resort continues to strengthen its reputation as a welcoming gateway to Cambodia's coastline — offering travellers a refined yet relaxed island retreat that remains closely connected to the region's cultural energy.
