Activities in Kampot

Kampot is more than a charming town—it's a destination rich in culture, nature, and experiences. Staying at Baksaei Retreat means you're perfectly placed to explore some of the best activities when you visit Kampot, all while enjoying the peaceful seclusion of your private villa.

​

Start your day with a sunrise paddle on the Kampot River or take a guided bike ride through lush countryside trails. Kampot is famous for its world-renowned pepper, and no trip is complete without visiting a local pepper farm. Learn how this prized crop is grown, harvested, and used in traditional Khmer cooking.

​

Craving views? Head to Bokor Mountain for misty treks and colonial-era ruins, or relax by the river with a fresh coconut in hand. Kampot’s slow pace invites unhurried exploration—whether it's browsing artisan markets, sipping coffee in French colonial buildings, or watching fishermen cast nets at dusk.

​

Nature lovers will enjoy spotting wildlife right from the balcony. And for something truly memorable, try an evening river cruise to witness the glowing fireflies and epic sunset over the mountains.

​

After a day of adventure, return to your Kampot villa for a sunset swim, a home-cooked meal, and the sound of birdsong in the background. Whether you're here to explore or simply unwind, Baksaei Retreat offers the perfect base for experiencing the best of Kampot attractions and activities.
