After more than two decades as one of Cambodia’s most renowned boutique destinations, Knai Bang Chatt is evolving - under the name Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West – into a reimagined resort concept that fuses the brand’s 22-year legacy with innovative new wellness, adventure, and cultural experiences designed to define the future of sustainable luxury travel in Southeast Asia.

Located in the serene coastal town of Kep, once known as Cambodia’s “Côte d’Azur,” Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West stands as a beacon of regenerative tourism – a model that prioritises positive impact on local communities, ecosystems, and economies. The resort's recent expansion includes two flagship additions: the Kep West Wellness Centre, and the Discovery Centre, both designed to deliver personal and transformative guest journeys.
