Longset (4k) Beach
1. Introduction: Paradise Within Reach
If you are looking for that perfect "postcard" beach, Longset Beach (widely known as 4K Beach) is where your search ends. Famous for its blindingly white sand and calm, turquoise waters, this stretch of paradise offers a more tranquil alternative to the main village while still being incredibly easy to reach.
2. Accommodation & Vibes: Choosing the Right Spot
Longset Beach is a popular hub for backpackers, offering a wide variety of dormitory options and beach hostels. However, it is important to choose your stay wisely based on your preferences:
-
The Party Scene: If you stay directly on Longset, you will be in the heart of the action, which is great for social vibes but can be noisy during event nights.
-
The Strategic Choice: For those who prefer a peaceful sleep but still want easy access to the fun, staying in Koh Touch village at Roomy Guesthouse is the perfect solution. You can enjoy the island’s best dining and quiet nights, then reach the party zones in just a 10-15 minute ride whenever you’re ready to celebrate.
3. Nestival: Every Saturday Night
Every Saturday, Longset Beach hosts Nestival, the biggest and most famous party on Koh Rong. Starting with beach sports and social gatherings in the afternoon, it evolves into an epic night of fire shows and DJ sets under the stars. It’s an essential experience for those who want to feel the true social heartbeat of the island—only on weekends!
4. Getting There from Roomy Guesthouse
-
A Scenic Walk: Reach the white sands in just 15-20 minutes walking along the coast from Koh Touch.
-
Quick Ride: Only 5-10 minutes by scooter or Tuk-Tuk via the new road network. It’s the ideal distance to keep the party close, but the noise far away.
