The Essence of Kep

Our specialists uncover authentic ways to explore Kep, offering top experiences with local guides that highlight the town’s coastal beauty, fresh seafood, and scenic national parks.

Kep, Cambodia‘s very first seaside resort, was established by the French in 1908 and has since held onto its quiet, nostalgic charm. Tourists usually come here for the tranquil sand beaches and laid-back vibe. Kep is a beloved weekend escape for locals, offering a tranquil retreat from the busier cities.

Things to Do in Kep

One of the highlights of any visit to Kep is the famous crab market. Perched along the southern coast, this vibrant market is where you can watch the daily catch being brought in and savor freshly cooked crab right by the sea. Just a short boat ride away is Koh Tonsay, or Rabbit Island, a perfect spot for a relaxing day trip. Here, you’ll find peaceful, pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters – ideal for unwinding in nature.

Where to Stay in Kep

For a memorable stay, Veranda Natural Resort is a fantastic option, offering breathtaking views from its hillside perch, especially at sunset with Bokor Mountain as the backdrop. If you’re after something more luxurious, Knai Bang Chatt is a true gem. This stunning resort merges sleek, modern design with Cambodia’s rich heritage, creating a serene and elegant retreat.

With Absolute Asia Tours, you can dive into the very best that Kep has to offer through their tailor-made tour packages, giving you the perfect mix of relaxation and discovery in this charming coastal town.
