Meaning of "Baksaei"

Baksaei ("bahk-SY") means bird in Khmer, and you will hear plenty of birdsong around our beautiful 3,000 square metre property - an oasis for nature-lovers and a haven for birds, frogs, geckos, dragonflies, and more. (But don’t worry, the friendly wildlife is our natural mosquito control system!) Our property is lined with a double ring of 300 rosewood trees and sits close to a natural creek leading into the Kampot river.

A Day in the Life at Baksaei: Embracing Tranquility in the Cambodian Countryside

Wake up to the soft glow of dawn as golden light filters through the rice fields. At Baksaei Retreat, every day begins with stillness and simplicity—this is villa holidays redefined. Step onto your private balcony, breathe in the fresh countryside air, and flow through a morning yoga session with the mountains watching in the distance.

As birdsong echoes through the palms, your peaceful villa becomes a sanctuary. With fast, reliable WiFi, you can catch up on work or share the sunrise on a video call—if you feel like connecting at all. Most guests prefer to disconnect, soaking up the sounds of nature and spotting wildlife just beyond their doorstep.

This is what private villa holidays in Cambodia were meant to be: secluded, peaceful, and in tune with the natural world. Spend your afternoon lounging poolside, wandering through local farms, or exploring the charms of Kampot town, just a short ride away.

Evenings settle slowly here. As the sky bursts into colours during an epic sunset, guests gather for a quiet moment on the terrace or indulge in a locally prepared meal in the comfort of their villa. Nightfall brings cool breezes, a symphony of crickets and frogs, and the soft rhythm of rural Cambodia.

At Baksaei Retreat, we offer more than just accommodation—we invite you to live a slower, more connected day. Perfect for couples, creatives, and mindful travelers, our boutique villa provides everything you need for a villa holiday in Cambodia that is both grounding and inspiring.

Come find your rhythm here—where peace lives in the details, and every day feels like exactly what you needed.
