The unique 4 Rivers Floating Ecolodge, an ecotourism resort floating on one of Cambodia’s remote clear water rivers, has recently opened in Koh Kong province, offering the first luxury eco-tourism experience in the Kingdom.

The 4 Rivers Ecolodge is situated 22kms from Koh Kong town on a bend in the Tatai river. The rivers clear waters flow down from the pristine and little explored Cardamom Mountains. The 18 luxury tented bungalows stretch out either side of the reception area, gourmet restaurant, and river water swimming pool, and are surrounded by mangroves, palm trees and dense forest.

The 45sqm rooms exude luxury with 4 poster beds, flat screen TVs, a DVD player, minibar, and even in room WiFi. The decoration is enhanced by the scent of freshly cut local flowers. Outside is a private balcony with large sun-lounges where you can while away the hours gazing over the river into the forest beyond and listening out for the calls on wild animals and birds.

If you are looking for more action, boat trips and kayaks are available to further explore the river and its nearby waterfalls, or go trekking into the forest in search of wildlife.

The resort is attempting to keep its carbon footprint as small as possible and has made use of many environmentally friendly non-forest products in its construction. It makes use pf solar power but has a back up generator fuelled by bio-fuel, and the resort comprised a sophisticated waste management system. In addition local people have been hired and trained to work at the resort.

The resort makes a perfect base for further exploring the Koh Kong area which includes the pristine Cardamom Mountains, stretches of untouched mangrove fringed coastline, various ‘virgin’ islands. For the more active staying at the 4 Rivers Ecolodge is a great treat before and after spending time trekking and mountain biking around the small community of Chi Pat where you can stay a few nights in the much more basic local homestays or even sleep in the jungle on multi day adventures.
