2024 COVID-19 UPDATE: Daom Djah Spirit, Kampot – A Peaceful Dreamy Retreat

I’m staying here for two weeks was what the first person we met at Daom Djah Spirit told us. He had flown in from Bangkok to spend two weeks to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and ended up here in the Cambodian Jungle.

This place is truly special.

A peaceful jungle oasis on the outskirts of Kampot is the best way to describe this place.

At $13-15USD a night for your own Bungalow/Treehouse this is an amazing value as well.

Serenity comes at a price of being a bit further from town but its worth it – trust us.

The Good

Living in a treehouse in the middle of the jungle isn’t for everyone. But it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

Daom Djah Spirit is the perfect place to relax for a few days to weeks. We’ll warn you in advance- You wont want to leave.

The treehouses and bungalows are big and comfortable and imagine waking up to the sounds of nature everyday.

The site is run by a friendly French couple, Helene and Vincent who are accommodating right from the minute you arrive.

On top of that, their kitchen is world class. Every meal/drink is reasonably priced and divine.

This is an Eco friendly place so expect to shower from a bin of cold water and the toilets are shared composting toilets. But thats all part of the experience.

The bed, a comfortable mattress, was pretty impressive for being in a treehouse. A mosquito net and lots of mosquito repellant is required.

There are ample outlets and a ceiling fan in the treehouses but don’t expect an Air Conditioner.

Staff is extremely friendly, very helpful and attentive.
Everyone we met at Daom Djah Spirit wished they had stayed longer !

The Rest

Friendly mosquitos will get to know you. But you are in the middle of the Cambodian Jungle right by a river. Bring lots of mosquito repellant.

It also takes a little bit of effort to get there and to get to town on a tuk tuk ($5USD each way usually) as the road is an unpaved dirt road that gets very muddy when it rains.

The location, while a bit away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kampot – pays off in serenity.

Getting There and Getting Around

Getting There (Airport): Tuk-Tuk

Getting There (City/Town):The easiest way to get there is by Tuk-Tuk ($5). Expect to pay a slightly higher rate because you’re on the outskirts of Kampot.

Getting There (Sihanoukville): Options include a shared bus ride, shared taxi or private car/taxi for this 2.5h (100km) journey.

Getting Around: A bit trickier to get a Tuk-Tuk / motorcycle as its not on a main road but the staff will help you out and it will cost around $5 to get into town by Tuk-Tuk.

Public Transportation: None in Kampot.
