Eden Eco Village, riverside bungalows outside Kampot

What kind of place it is

This is a countryside stay rather than a town hotel. The resort is built from natural materials, and the aim is to keep its footprint on the surroundings small while still giving guests a comfortable bed. It lies within an ethnic village, so the neighbours are villagers going about daily life, not other hotels.

It suits people who would rather hear the river than traffic, and who are happy to trade a walkable town address for quiet.

The bungalows

There are 12 bungalows, designed to blend into the landscape. Each has large doors that open directly onto the river, so the water and the view are the first things you see in the morning.

Room types run from cosy doubles up to roomier suites. That range makes the place workable for couples after a quiet break as well as for families travelling together.

Getting there

• From Kampot town: about 5 km away. Tuk-tuks run regularly between town and the resort.
• From Phnom Penh or other nearby destinations: airport transfers are available for arriving guests. Arrange this with the resort in advance.

Because the resort is outside town, agree on a tuk-tuk ride back before you head out in the evening, so you are not stuck at the end of the night.

Planning your stay

Contact details and current rates are not listed here, so check the resort's Facebook page or the map link below before you go. Ask about bungalow types when you book, as the doubles and suites differ in size.
