A lush hideaway where nature, heritage, and serenity meet the sea
Tropical tranquillity with a colonial soul by the Kep shoreline
Nestled along the quiet coastline of Kep, Cambodia, Samanea Beach Resort & Spa offers a peaceful escape surrounded by nature and Khmer heritage. Located within a 2-hectare botanical park and adjacent to restored mangrove forests, the resort blends traditional architecture with eco-conscious design. Its Khmer-style villas - each featuring a private terrace, outdoor bathtub, and garden or sea view - are designed for privacy, comfort, and connection with the natural world.
Guests can relax in the saltwater infinity pool overlooking the ocean, enjoy Khmer and Western cuisine at the beachfront restaurant, or walk along a private jetty that extends into the Gulf of Thailand. The resort’s location also makes it easy to explore Kep’s rich local culture, from the famous Crab Market to hiking trails in Kep National Park. For those seeking wellness, the on-site spa offers massages in open-air salas set within the lush tropical garden.
At Samanea, time slows down. Whether watching the sunset from your villa, kayaking through mangrove channels, or enjoying a quiet cocktail by the sea, every moment invites rest and reconnection.
