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 without any noticeable elevation.[1]
The inhabitants of two villages run a Mango plantation. Apart from the Cambodian Navy, who maintains a small base with a port, no infrastructure exists.
Several beaches attract travelers and tourists. After many years of individual visitors, large scale resort development is in progress.
The island is accessible by ferry or speed-boat from Otres beach.[2]
