River Road, Kampot

Slow days on the river, mountains in the background

A short ride from Kampot town, right on the river, with mountain views as your backdrop. Spend your days on the sun loungers, swim or tube down the river (free tube included), or rent a kayak or scooter for something more adventurous. Our staff know the area inside and out and can point you to the best spots — or arrange a tuk tuk to take you into town (about 10 minutes) and back.
