THE RESORT
Introduction about Samanea Beach Resort & Spa
Nestled along Kep’s tranquil coastline, Samanea Beach Resort & Spa invites you to experience a sanctuary of nature, comfort, and timeless charm. Surrounded by lush gardens and centuries-old mangroves, the resort blends refined hospitality with a serene beachfront escape. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, romance, or adventure, Samanea offers the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect.

OUR CONCEPT
Before Samanea came to life, this land held the quiet ruins of a seaside cottage. When creating the resort, we chose to honor that history by carefully restoring the cottage using its original materials—bricks, stone, and traditional cement tiles. Today it serves as our reception, and those same authentic details are woven throughout the property to create harmony with the natural surroundings.
Embraced by mangroves, tropical gardens, and the sea, Samanea was built with deep respect for its environment. Nature inspires our architecture, design, and daily operations, guiding us to prioritize sustainability and preserve the timeless beauty of this unique place.

WELCOME TO KEP
Kep is Cambodia’s hidden coastal gem, known for its laid-back atmosphere, fresh seafood, and stunning sunsets. Once a glamorous seaside retreat, the town retains its charm with French colonial remnants, the famous crab market, and the nearby Kep National Park offering panoramic hiking trails. Just a short trip away, you can explore Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay), traditional salt fields, and pepper plantations that produce the world-renowned Kampot pepper.
