Veranda Bungalows

This small resort has been in development for seven years, perched high up on hills overlooking the small coastal town of Kep in southern Cambodia. The owners, who also built the majority of the bungalows, wanted to create unique bungalows that nestled in the forest canopy.

The majority of the bungalows are connected with wooden walkways that lead back to the main reception / dining area overlooking the bay. All the rock and timber was sourced locally and only local artisans were used in the construction of the bungalows.

The rooms are finished to a high degree, with many small touches such as sea-shell soap holders. Each room is individually decorated in different patterns of pebbles, stone, cement and wood.

Hence the emphasis was on showcasing the textures and construction of the bungalows. The craftsmanship was remarkable especially as very little mechanical help was used. Although the rooms were quite spartan, all the little decor touches gave them a warmth and personal feel.
