Koh Ta Kiev (Khmer: កោះតាគៀវ, “Ancestor Kiev’s Island” – named "Ile de la Baie" during the French colonial period) is the biggest of a small group of Cambodian islands situated 4 km off Otres beach, Sihanoukville City and just 1 km off the coast of Ream National Park, Sihanoukville Province. Its predominantly forested area of 6.70 km2 (3 sq mi) is mostly flat with hills at some points.
There is also a small fishing village on the East side of the island. Apart from the Cambodian Navy, which maintains a small base with a port, no infrastructure exists.
Three beaches attract travelers and tourists. After many years of attracting individual visitors, large scale resort development is planned. There are currently a few guesthouses and a campsite for visitors to stay.[1]
The island is accessible by ferry or speedboat from Ream beach, not far from Sihanoukville airport.[2]
