ESCAPE THE ORDINARY AND CREATE LASTING MEMORIES
Where Authentic Luxury Meets Adventure, Wellness, Culture, and Impact.
A destination, not a hotel
Kep West is a place to get to know, not just pass through.
Kep West is where Kep comes to the sea. Eat seafood straight off the boats, spend the day on the water, and stay for a sunset that stops conversations. Come with friends, family or on your own. Stay for an afternoon, a weekend, or longer at Knai Bang Chatt.
Local culture, wellness and very good food, all on one stretch of coast. And every visit puts something back into the community that makes Kep what it is.
Where would you like to start?
From rejuvenating wellness retreats to gastronomy worth coming back for, watersports, and cultural experiences that connect you to authentic Cambodia, we have something for everyone. Stay with us for an extended escape, or simply join us for a day or evening for a memorable experience that fits your preferences.

Plan your journey
Shape the pace of the trip before choosing stay, dining and coastal experiences.
Getting to Kep
Kep can be reached overland from Phnom Penh and other Cambodian destinations. Private transfers make the journey easy to pair with a wider Cambodia itinerary.
When to visit
The dry season brings clear skies and easy coastal days, while the greener months reveal a softer, quieter side of Kep and the countryside around it.
How long to stay
Three nights gives you a taste of the coast, food and landscape. Four to five nights lets you slow down, add an island or countryside experience, and leave room for doing very little.
What to bring
Pack light, breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, sun protection and something for tropical showers. Most importantly, leave space in the itinerary.
