- The tent-to-villa spread — the rare Cambodian resort where glamping, bowling and horseback riding share one property
What to Expect at Phum Domnak Domrey
Built for Families
The resort is engineered around keeping several generations busy at once: adult and children’s swimming pools, a kids’ club and playground, sports fields, pool games, fishing ponds, kayaking, cycling, horseback riding — and, improbably, a bowling alley. It’s pet-friendly too, which is close to unheard-of in Cambodian resorts.
Tents to Villas
Accommodation spans safari-style tents, bungalows, suites and full villas scattered through gardens against the Kirirom foothills — pick your comfort level and budget. Guests consistently single out the greenery and the escape-from-Phnom-Penh feel.
A Base for the Kirirom Area
The property sits in Traeng Trayueng commune at the base of the national park, so a stay pairs naturally with the plateau: Chambok’s community-run waterfall, Kirirom’s pine trails and viewpoints, and the park’s activity resorts are all a short drive up the hill.
How to Get There
The resort is in Phnom Sruoch district, Kampong Speu — roughly 90km / about 1.5 hours from Phnom Penh via National Road 4.
- By car: Straightforward NR4 run, then a short marked turn-off; the resort can advise transfers
- Weekend traffic: NR4 clogs on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons — time the drive around it
Practical Tips
- Book ahead for weekends and Khmer holidays — this is a mainstream local family destination
- Weekdays offer the same facilities at a fraction of the crowd
- Day passes make it a workable lunch-and-pool stop en route to or from Kirirom or the coast
