Luxury and Intimacy in Coastal
During the era of French rule, Kep was renowned as Cambodia’s premier seaside destination, affectionately known as “the St. Tropez of South-East Asia.” At Knai Bang Chatt, we have partnered with French architect Françoise Lavielle to restore these stunning colonial villas, now the centerpiece of our coastal resort.
With plush accommodations, an infinity pool overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, and world-class cuisine, we offer a unique blend of privacy and personalized service. Our commitment to regenerative travel ensures that every experience not only enriches your stay but also positively impacts the local community and environment, allowing you to travel deeply and experience the beauty and culture of Cambodia.

Why We
Exist
Knai Bang Chatt embodies the belief that travel can be a profound artistic endeavor, transcending the confines of conventional tourism, which often feels predictable and detached from its surroundings.
Here, we offer a unique opportunity to experience luxury guilt-free, where tranquility meets adventure. Our resort is a sanctuary for wellness and retreat, allowing you to refresh your spirit while exciting your senses and savoring life’s finer pleasures—all without compromising the environment.
Above all, we create an environment where travel becomes a thought-provoking journey that fosters personal growth. With regenerative travel, we make compassionate investments in our local ecology and society, transforming travel into an enriching experience of sharing and connection rather than mere consumption.
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.
