JATI, a new laid-back private island resort experience is opening in March 2025, located just 10 minutes off Cambodia’s southern coast.

JATI offers a Maldives-style private island experience with a uniquely Cambodian vibe on the island of Koh Russey, just 10 minutes by speedboat from a private jetty, and only 10-minutes drive from Sihanoukville Intl. Airport.

The resort features 82 Khmer-inspired one-and-two bedroom villas, some with private pools located directly on the beach, featuring modern amenities and thoughtful touches.

JATI is owned and operated by HMD Asia – which also owns and operates numerous properties in SE Asia including Shinta Mani Hotels in Cambodia,  TRIBE hotel in Phnom Penh, Park Hyatt Siem Reap, La Residence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang, Laos,  La Residence D’Angkor in Siem Reap, and several destination restaurants in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

JATI’s casual lifestyle by day contrasts with its lively beach club and dining experiences after sunset – including branches of Phnom Penh’s cool wine bar Le Manolis and the capital’s most popular steakhouse KoKo.

Recreation facilities are unmatched in the region and include a racquet & sports club for tennis and pickle ball, basketball, mini golf, badminton, Thai boxing, paddle-boarding, kayaks, snorkelling and island trails for a gentle early morning or sundown stroll or bike ride.

The Bamboo Spa & Gym features Khmer-inspired treatments and state-of-the-art equipment for workouts, an ice bath steam room and sauna.

The resort offers a variety of beautiful locations to host beachfront weddings and scheduled for late-2025 is an extensive Events & Conference Centre in the jungle.

At Seahorse Kids Club, little ones experience their own slice of island cool with beach adventures and games, leaving parents to enjoy guilt-free grown-up lounging, while qualified baby-sitting services also allow Mums and Dads a little pampering time.

“JATI offers our guests first class experiences at reasonable rates and is designed for active couples and families, or for those wishing to simply relax under a tree or enjoy an array of pampering wellness treatments.  Our inspired food and beverage experiences, and wide range of leisure and sports facilities are unmatched in the region, said Anthony Lark, Executive Director of HMD Asia.

The service culture at JATI will reflect the natural warmth of the Cambodian people in a relaxed, unpretentious and friendly atmosphere.” he added.
