Our vision, our mission
Connection
Kactus exists to inspire a return to what’s essential—connection to nature, self, and community.
Built by hand on an untouched island, it began as an off-grid dream and became a space for stillness, creativity, & presence.
Its future is a living sanctuary devoted to wellness & conscious living—where healing happens naturally, and growth is grounded in real life experiences. Our mission is to foster a way of life that values presence, simplicity, and genuine connection. We invite guests to slow down and reset in an ideal environment, which encourages personal growth.
Sustainability
At Kactus, we’ve designed our daily rhythms around low-impact living.
We run on 24-hour solar power and embrace cold showers not only to conserve energy and water, but for their
refreshing & regenerative effect.
All organic waste is composted to enrich our gardens, and whatever the sea throws back, we collect—upcycling beach trash into art that sparks conversation and awareness.
Our eco-friendly soaps ensure nothing harmful flows back into the island’s soil or sea.
This place runs on intention: from how we power our spaces, to how we clean, cook, and create.
Every choice is a step toward harmony with the land we call home.
From Our Kitchen With Love
Our kitchen is the heart of Kactus—simple, generous, and full of love. Meals are home-cooked with fresh, local ingredients, sourced from the island, nearby villages, and our own garden when possible.
We serve vibrant, nourishing dishes inspired by Khmer traditions and Western comfort—always vegetarian-friendly, with options for seafood and meat that reflect what’s seasonal and available.
It’s about food that feeds you deeply, brings people together, and makes you feel at home—even barefoot on the beach.
Shape Your Experience
We offer a range of simple yet comfortable spaces—
from breezy beachfront bungalows to hidden jungle tree-houses,
all designed to bring you closer to nature.
Nestled between the trees and the sea, each one invites you to slow down, settle in,
and experience the quiet magic of island living.
We offer two unique ways to experience your Stay:
Go at your own pace...
Come as you are and stay as long as you like.
This flexible, nightly option lets you move at your own speed—choose meals and join activities
whenever it feels right.
Stay in your choice of the Jungle Dorm,

Relax, explore or simply enjoy
the natural beauty of Koh Ta Kiev.
