Mad Monkey Hostels announces New Riverside Resort in Kampot, Cambodia
Mad Monkey Hostels has announced the development of its newest property, Mad Monkey Kampot Riverside Resort, set to open its doors at the end of 2025. This expansion marks another milestone in Mad Monkey’s mission to build vibrant, community-driven hostels across Southeast Asia.
Just ten minutes from Kampot’s historic center, the new riverside resort is designed to be more than a bed for the night. It is a destination in itself – a place where global travellers, expats, and locals connect over adventure, culture, and community. Think riverside serenity, jungle energy, and that unmistakable Mad Monkey’s signature community spirit.

“We’re building more than just beds – we’re creating a space where travelers, locals, and expats can connect, explore, and celebrate life together. With riverside adventures, wellness facilities, and unforgettable events, Kampot is set to become one of our most exciting destinations yet,” said Alex Darroch, Co-Founder of Mad Monkey Hostels.
The Kampot Riverside Resort will carry forward Mad Monkey’s values of connection, culture, and contribution – offering authentic local experiences while promoting sustainable tourism and supporting community initiatives in Cambodia.
With development already underway, Mad Monkey looks forward to welcoming guests to Kampot’s newest riverside destination in late 2025.
