2025 Kep Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#familytrips2024 Kep city is about 30 mins by car from Kampot. We took a boat across to Kaoh Tonsay (Rabbit Island), USD25 for a private boat (max 6 pax). The island is beautiful, peaceful and with a nice beach and clear waters. Met a nice lady who owns chalets on the beach, Simone, had a delicious lunch at her restaurant, fresh fish, Khmer style soup n noodles. The island gets v busy on weekends though with local tourists according to people we met in Kampot. Drove by the crab market but did not stop

This is a unique four-star hotel in Kep where you can do nothing but listen to the sounds of nature in the pool. It is located across from the familiar Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, so you can enjoy the calm ocean view. If you drive a little further to the neighboring town of Kampot, you can find stylish cafes and delicious dinners. We also recommend kayaking in the majestic nature. The hotel is unique, and the stone paths go up and down, so it's fun to go to the restaurant and pool♪ The cats that live in the mountain behind the hotel come over during meals and beg well🐈 Dog lovers are also welcome! A friendly dog ​​will greet you when you check in🐕 Address: Kep Hillside road, Kep, Cambodia Postal code 9827 Zip code 22102 Atmosphere/facilities: Natural stone taste Air conditioning in the rooms Recommended point: The sunset from the pool is a must-see! Price per room: From around 10,000 yen (depending on the season and room) Rating: Best #Hotel stay #Kep #Cambodia #Asia travel #Countryside experience

I recently visited the beautiful , calm beach found in Kep, Cambodia. lovely to swim in and have a relaxing day. Not far from the beach you will find the crab market where you can eat fresh seafood 🤤. Kep is a very slow, peaceful town and worth visiting when in Cambodia🇰🇭 . There are also plenty of other restaurants to choose from for delicious meals. A ferry is also available to go to Rabbit island which can be seen from Kep beach. Unfortunately I never had enough time to also go to Rabbit Island. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #beachlife

We came here for a restful time and the staff and the owner were very good to us. The rooms were very nice and the views are gorgeous. They are pet friendly which is one of the many reasons we chose this place. There are two lovely pools and the breakfast included is very nice. It is just a restful relaxing place. We have come here often during the many years we have lived in Cambodia. Nice place to stay on holiday with a nice view. Just a small thing that I wanted to complain about. My friends and I were treated and asked like we are not the guests by a few staff. We are really not happy about it. Staff should be well trained to treat guests more politely at a good resort like this.

Adventure life is beautiful life. what make us feel fresh what make us productive. Coffee is the drink that most people like to take a drink. How many time we can sit down and drinking coffee on the mountain see the view of the nature and see view from the top of the mountain also have spun of the birds singing on the tree🌲 . Led Zep Coffee is a small coffee shop on the Kep mountain 🏔️ you can drive up to the mountain and take a cup of the coffee see all the fresh view from the top of the mountain. Coffee lover never missed this place if they are arrived at Kep and I been there two times already. Name: Led Zep Coffee Location: Kep Province, Cambodia Thank you. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall

#fallingforfall #beachlife #tripblazers Driving about 3 hours to 4 hours from Phnom Penh city to see the beach at Kep Province. Relaxing at the beach eating seafood like Crab, Mussels, Squid, Chesapeake blue crab, Oyster and looking at the sea view. Very fresh for weekend or vacation time. Drinking coffee see the sea view and afternoon chilling out at the beach 🏝️ making great time and good memories. Many many people would like go to kep province at the weekend because it not too far from Phnom Penh city relaxing 2 days or 3 days coming back to work it is very beautiful life. Release stress with the 🌊 sea view. Hope everyone enjoy and I also recommend you if you come Cambodia you should go Kep Province. Thank you.

Kep is a coastal province in southern Cambodia, known for its seafood and tropical islands. The relaxed provincial capital of Kep, or Krong Kaeb, has wide streets with crumbling villas that recall its former glory as a French colonial resort town. Kep Beach has calm waters and a promenade with large statues, while vendors line the waterfront at the nearby crab market. Enhoy the crab.

refreshing get away from work 🙂

Rabbit island this is the nearest island to Phnompenh.

Sothy’s is a locally owned pepper farm with tours and a restaurant. The tour is very informative and gives you an understanding of how pepper is grown and the variety flavors. Lunch was good in a pleasant setting. The gift shop has everything pepper you will want and packaged for taking home on your flight. Don’t forget your bug spray, sunscreen, sunglasses and hat. #givethanks #givethanks

• Just a short escape from Kampot, we found ourselves at The Wave – Kep West, not just a seaside coffee shop, but a truly peaceful hideaway where time seems to stand still. • As the sun began its slow descent over the sea, we settled in by the water, letting the golden light wash over us. Around 6:22 PM, the horizon turned into a painting — warm, gentle, and alive. • It wasn’t just beautiful; it was healing. Every stress, every busy thought seemed to melt away with the tide. We sat in silence, together as a family, fully present in the moment. • This is Kep another paradise in Cambodia — where you don’t just visit, you breathe deeper, live slower, and leave renewed. #travel #staycation #familytravel #sunsetview #kep #travel#staycation

If you’re craving a peaceful getaway without the stress of rushing around, Kampot and Kep make the perfect combo. We took a 3-day, 4-night trip (really just two full days of activity) and it was the ideal balance between relaxation and exploration. 📅 Itinerary Day1: Phnom Penh to Kampot The drive took just 3–4 hours. We didn’t pack anything hectic into the day—just grabbed a coffee at Starbucks Kampot and chilled there with a river view. Great way to ease into the trip. Day2: Bokor Mountain Adventure We headed up Bokor Mountain. It was misty and cold, giving everything a magical vibe. We explored the Vietnamese-Chinese temple, Buddha statues, and some old French colonial ruins. The mountain view is absolutely worth the ride—breathtaking, even in the haze. Day3: Seaside in Kep A quick 40-minute ride brought us to Kep Beach where we relaxed and soaked up the coastal calm. We had lunch at The Wave Kep West—the view? Stunning. The food? Delicious. It’s a little on the pricey side (around $200 for 6 people), but honestly, it was worth every dollar. Day4:Easy Drive Back No rush. We went back to Phnom Penh, rested and satisfied. 🏨 Accommodation We stayed at Pechyanich Resort, the review at my another post. 🍴 Food Recommendations 👉Rostery Oyster (Kampot): My personal favorite—fresh, flavorful, unforgettable. 👉The Wave Kep West Restaurant: Great food with an amazing sea view. A bit pricey, but worth it for the experience. 👉Tiramisu spot across from Starbucks Kampot: Must-try dessert, and they also sell Kampot durian—local and iconic. 📌 Tips Phnom Penh to Kampot You can have beach vibe, mountain vibe or nature vibe (waterfalls there) depending on your preference. #beachlife #thewavekeprestaurant #enjoythemoment #lifeisgood #travel #staycation #naturalwonders #familytravel #myitinerary #resorts #seascapes #cambodia #cambodia🇰🇭 #kepbeach #kampot #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #summervacay #travelphotograhy #bokormountain

Recently visited The Wave in Kep and was blown away by the breathtaking view. Overlooking the ocean with a serene, relaxing vibe, it’s easily a 5/5 for ambience and atmosphere – perfect for unwinding or enjoying a sunset meal. The food itself was also impressive. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented – definitely deserves a 5/5 for taste. However, I found the pricing a bit steep compared to similar spots in the area. While the quality justifies the cost to an extent, I'd rate price/value at 3/5. So, if you're on a budget, just be prepared. All in all, a great spot for a treat-yourself experience – go for the view, stay for the food! #throwback #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #seascapes #myitinerary #summervacay #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #cambodia #cambodia🇰🇭 #kepbeach #kep #thewavekeprestaurant #beachlife #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment

The Best place for Sunset views 🌅 with coffee and drinks 🍹 Highly recommended 🤯🔥❤️📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vUCEp8jxuyevQv4o7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Kep’s Crab Market is a must-visit! Feast on fresh blue crabs in Kampot pepper sauce—sweet, spicy, and divine. The lively stalls offer cheap, just-caught seafood, best enjoyed at rustic beach shacks. Stay for Cambodia’s most breathtaking sunset—golden skies over the Gulf of Thailand! Pure magic.

Just one day but catched sunset at Kep Beach in Cambodia
