BAKSAEI RETREAT
Ricefield Villas
Kampot, Cambodia
Pool Villa Accommodation in Kampot
Boutique 4-Star Pool Villa Hotel
Just 2 kilometres west of the Old Bridge, our unique 3,000 sqm boutique Kampot hotel offering pool villa accommodation occupies a secluded, private location along the route to Veal Pouch Waterfall, with stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding farmlands and Dâmrei Mountains.
“Dry season” is generally November to April, and “Green Season” is May to October/November. Our rice garden is seasonal but ever-green; we conduct bi-annual rice harvest in December and May. This means there are a few weeks twice a year when the ricefield is empty, between harvest and new growth from re-planting. For our dry season crop, the field is manually irrigated.
The landscape and scenery changes throughout the year – please see our gallery below.

Jack, Phnom Penh
"We had a wonderful stay at this hidden gem! Everything was brand new, impeccably clean, and well-maintained... The owner, was an absolute delight — she was polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our stay. The location is perfect, just a short 2$ tuk-tuk ride to the city centre and markets, making it convenient yet peaceful. We also found it really easy to get to with Google Maps and the helpful signs along the way. If you're looking for an authentic Cambodian countryside living experience, this place is perfect. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting!"

"Waking up with the sunrise behind the trees, having coffee on the sofa on the spectacular balcony and looking at the dragonflies dancing in the rice field in front of the villas is something special. All around the colors change with the sunlight and the sunset is always unique. The rooms are really clean and extremely comfy. The kitchen is well equipped and you can also order food ... and they will deliver to you any kind of food in town and some grocery shopping too. Close to town in a wonderful oasis of rice fields and nature, I've to say this has been the best place I had the honour to stay and the owner is lovely and always available for some advice. I'll be back!!"
