Le Flamboyant Boutique Resort & Spa sits on a plot in Kep, a former colonial seaside retreat in southern Cambodge, a short walk from the waterfront. The property combines accommodation, a pool and spa services within tropical grounds, close to the crab market and national park.

Why choose Le Flamboyant for a stopover in Kep

Kep lends itself to a peaceful stay between two more lively stages across Cambodge, and Le Flamboyant fits this purpose: a coastal anchor point to explore the neighbouring Kampot region without sacrificing the comfort of a resort. The property appeals to travellers seeking a few nights of seaside relaxation, rather than a simple transit hotel.

Three elements set the property apart within the town:

• an on-site pool, welcome after cycling excursions in Kep National Park;
• a complimentary welcome refreshment upon arrival, a gesture of hospitality in keeping with Cambodian warmth;
• a location on National Road 33A, the main thoroughfare linking central Kep to Kampot.

Atmosphere and setting

Le Flamboyant embraces the beachfront resort approach rather than the family guesthouse model. The layout revolves around the pool, the focal point of daytime activity. The pace is leisurely: Kep lacks the crowds of Sihanoukville or the buzz of Phnom Penh, and the property reflects this calm. Proximity to the Gulf of Thailand reveals itself in the light, the late-afternoon breezes and the seafood restaurants within easy reach.

The rooms

Rooms are equipped with wifi, air conditioning, a fridge and minibar, as well as a television. Tea and coffee are provided in the room. The standard meets the expectations of a mid-range resort, sufficient for a seaside stay without logistical concerns.

On-site services

• Pool available to residents, the main leisure space of the resort;
• Spa, in line with the property's positioning (services to be confirmed on-site subject to availability);
• Reception with complimentary refreshment upon arrival;
• In-room amenities: wifi, air conditioning, minibar, television, tea and coffee.

Location

The property stands on National Road 33A, in Krong Kaeb. This road is Kep's main artery: it hugs the coast, serves the crab market, and connects to Kampot in around thirty minutes by car. From Phnom Penh, allow approximately 3 to 4 hours' drive. Sihanoukville is reachable in half a day. The nearest international airport remains Phnom Penh.

What to do nearby

Kep and its region offer several short outings to arrange from the hotel:

• the crab market, a local institution where you can taste Kampot pepper crab;
• the Kep National Park, circular hiking trails with gulf views;
• Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay), accessible by boat from the pier;
• the Kampot pepper plantations, GIR-protected, about thirty kilometres away;
• the town of Kampot, its colonial alleyways and riverside setting.
