Luxury and Intimacy in Coastal
During French rule, Kep was Cambodia’s premier seaside destination, widely known as “the St. Tropez of South-East Asia.” Here at Knai Bang Chatt, we have worked with French architect Francoise Lavielle to restore and remodel these stunning colonial villas.
They are now the centrepiece of an impeccably designed coastal resort which features plush rooms, an infinity pool overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, world-class cuisine, and much more. We treat our guests to a combination of privacy and personalized service, and enable them to discover the splendours' of Cambodia and its wonderful people. We achieve all this while being the most environmentally aware and socially conscious hotel in all of Cambodia.
Cambodia
Why We
Exist
Knai Bang Chatt is the personification of the notion that traveling can be an artistic endeavor. We think that most so-called travel is essentially tourism, which is predictable, mass-produced, and unaware of its surroundings.
At Knai, we provide the chance to travel in luxury guilt-free, to feel refreshed while still exciting the senses, and to savour the finer things in life without destroying the environment. Above all, an environment where traveling can be a thought-provoking experience that advances personal development.
We make compassionate investments in our local ecology and society so that traveling becomes about sharing and growing rather than consuming and staying the same.
1. Impeccable Architecture
In the 1960s the area was known as Cambodia’s Riviera, where royalty and stars mingled in private villas overlooking the Gulf of Thailand against a backdrop of lush, forested mountains. Knai Bang Chatt consists of four renovated villas built in the 1970s by protégés of the father of New Khmer Architecture, Vann Molyvann, a student of the world famous architect Le Corbusier. The villas are astonishing historical landmarks that guests can now experience as private residences and suites.
2. Lifestyle
With the impeccable backdrop as your location, Knai Bang Chatt offers a lifestyle of traditions, exclusive excursions, and activities that celebrate the region's rich heritage.
3. Well-Being
The final element to regenerative travel; well-being. With the idea of body - mind - and soul, Knai Bang chatt offers a journey to self, a regenerative experience as a whole.
