Water & Pool Guide for Kampot
Although Kampot is not a coastal city, it offers fantastic alternatives to cool off and enjoy the sun.
Discover the Perfect Getaway
If you're looking for a real ocean or sea beach, Kampot doesn't have white sandy sea beaches due to its geographical location (being inland). However, luxury hotel pools, riverside relaxation areas, and spa centers act as an oasis to beat the tropical heat. There are wonderful spots where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and lie on a sun lounger with a coconut in your hand.
