Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West, together with Art for Kep and Marine Conservation Cambodia, have unveiled plans for the S.E.A. Ocean Gallery, Asia’s first large scale underwater museum where contemporary art, marine regeneration, and cultural narrative converge.
Nestled along Cambodia’s pristine coastline just two hours from Phnom Penh, Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West offers a blend of quiet luxury, cultural immersion, and holistic wellness experiences. Founded by Jef Moons, this coastal sanctuary began as an inspired restoration of historic 1950s modernist villas once frequented by Cambodia’s elite. Today, it stands as a haven where understated elegance and thoughtful design create an atmosphere of serene sophistication.
