Highs & Lows
-
Upon arriving at the property you immediately feel calm and relaxed – a few days spent pool side, plus a few spa treatments and healthy + fresh food - it’s the perfect place to chill out and recuperate.
-
Grab a sunset cocktail and then eat dinner at a table on the dock of the Sailing Club – the water is right beneath you. As the sky darkens, enjoy dining under the stars here…it’s an incredible experience.
-
The hotel is extremely environmentally and socially conscious – things such as solar power, natural building materials, and no plastic on property, as well as community development projects and a commendable employee benefits program - you can feel morally good about your stay here.
-
Nice touches include gifts of a hand woven cravat (scarf) and a satchel of locally grown peppercorns (the area of Kep is known to have the best quality pepper in all of Cambodia).
-
If you are looking for beach time, the hotel doesn’t really have a beach. It is easy to go to the beach in Kep, or better yet, take a boat out to Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) to spend the day snorkelling, swimming, and beach hopping on this special offshore island

Designed By
Kep was a vacation spot for French elite back in the day. The villas were originally built in the 1960’s, and current owners, Jef Moons and Boris Vervoordt, hired architect Francoise Lavielle to convert the villas into the hotel property which first opened in 2005. Since then, Moons and Vervoordt have been the design minds behind every aspect of the hotel, including their beautiful collection of authentic Khmer artefacts and art pieces displayed throughout the property.
