A three-day trip to Kampot centers on the town's riverside setting, wellness experiences, and laid-back dining culture. The town has 315 accommodations listed, ranging from budget guest houses to resort hotels, so you can find a base that suits your style and budget.
Day one: arrive and settle into the riverside atmosphere. Stay at Hotel Old Cinema, a well-reviewed converted 1920s cinema in the town center with an outdoor pool, or choose Chateau Kampot, a resort hotel also centrally located. Spend your afternoon at Sabay Beach Restaurant & Cocktail Bar Kampot, which sits on Riverside Road with mountain views, then take an evening walk along the water. Dinner at Vanna Restaurant & Bar in Kampot on Street 735 offers Khmer dishes and regional flavors.
“A hidden gem in Kampot! The hotel locates in the city center which is very convenient and easy to explore the area. The room was exceptionally nice and spacious.”

Day two: focus on wellness and cafes. Start at Blend House Cafè & Zen House Yoga, tucked off the riverfront with yoga classes and a daily café menu. Lunch at BaZaar Café & Healing Space, a garden café serving health-oriented food. Afternoon at Nibi Spa, set beside the river outside town, for massage and sauna treatments. End the day at Epic Arts Café, a social enterprise café open from 7am to 6pm.
Day three: treat yourself to a spa morning at Golden Hands Massage & Spa or Bali Massage Kampot, then revisit your favorite café or restaurant. If you prefer a quieter base, Coconut Lodge or Villa Selah, both well-reviewed guest houses, offer a more intimate setting to watch Kampot's pace from.
“I Stayed at Coconut Lodge for 2 months. Eugene and Lestey were always very friendly and helpful hosts who made feel at home.”
