Full accommodation information
Hotel information
Veranda Natural Resort is an unashamedly rustic-chic jungle lodge in Kep National Park, a place that immerses you into the rainforest through its hillside location, aerial views of the coast and interior design, adorned as it is almost entirely in reclaimed wood.
Comfort here does still come, and in many forms. It starts with two outdoor swimming pools which are a gift during humid afternoons; one is surrounded by subtropical gardens and the other, an infinity pool, boasts a large sun patio and loungers overlooking the forest canopy. Elsewhere around the Veranda Natural Resort, there is a fittingly earthy spa that, just as with the entire lodge, uses eco-friendly materials, oils and ingredients throughout its list of massage and relaxation treatments.
Indeed, staying true to its name, there is a noteworthy natural feel to everything here, from handmade driftwood ornaments to the locally sourced produce served in the restaurant, or toiletries made from native plants and ocean salts. This ethos works wonderfully with the hotel’s Kep National Park setting, as after a day enjoying the region’s wildlife walks, nature trails, time on the nearby beach or perhaps a boat trip, you can feel even more connected with it all while here. None more so, in fact, than if simply sipping a drink or tucking into your Khmer cuisine, overlooking the rainforest from any of Veranda Natural Resort’s many vantage points.
So, for sunset views from the bar, individually designed guestrooms, villas and suites, kids activities, a beautiful bakery and handicraft boutique onsite, book your stay at Veranda Natural Resort; an eco-lodge in Kep National Park that has more to offer than first meets the eye.
Room Options
All guestrooms, suites, villas and bungalows at Veranda Natural Resort are decorated in a similarly rustic style of wooden furniture, stone walls and traditional ornaments and artworks throughout each space. In-room amenities come in the form of Wi-Fi, a minibar, private veranda and air-conditioning, with double or twin bed setup available – more if opting for a multi-room villa or bungalow. The various room categories are dispersed throughout the hotel grounds, offering a range of floor plans, views, outdoor spaces and so on. Note that some accommodations are not completely suitable for anyone with mobility issues as, although nicely secluded, they can be hidden down a maze of wooden walkways and stairs into the forest.
Standard Room
Some of the standard rooms are conveniently placed near the main building, also benefitting from slightly elevated views. A private veranda, walk-in rain shower and all other Natural Resort amenities are included.
Superior Room
Superior vistas for a Superior Room and either easy pool access via a private stairway or clearer sea views, depending on whether you choose the lower or upper floors respectively. The Superior Room category is a good step up, with an al fresco shower and slightly larger floorplan too, though for the best panoramas of them all go for the Penthouse in this room category.
Suite
Choose a Suite if seeking a little more space and step up in luxury. There are queen-size beds and at least one veranda for all of them, however, it is worth noting that each is individually designed and positioned. This means that some have clear sea views while others are enveloped by foliage, some are semi-detached and single level, yet others are split over two floors, so there is something for everyone depending on your personal preferences.
Family Suite
The Family Suite category at Veranda Natural Resort is a great option for families, with the choice of two separate bedrooms available.
Private Villas
Ranging from two to four-bedrooms and featuring a private pool, large patio and/or gardens, a separate lounge and in some, both a rooftop dining area and mini kids playground below. With butler service, great sea views (for most), bags of space and all of the other in-room amenities that come as standard, plus that same charming décor and a huge floorplan, the Private Villas at Veranda Natural Resort are a cut above.
Bungalows
If looking to really get back to nature, opt for a Bungalow while staying at Veranda Natural Resort, as these wooden treehouse-style abodes have an unmistakeable sense of place about them. Sea views and in-room amenities are not lacking in this room category either.Facilities/Amenities
With two swimming pools – one surrounded by exotic garden foliage, the other a luxe infinity pool with loungers and sea views – an onsite spa, kid’s activities, a craft shop and games room plus a handful of essential comforts such as Wi-Fi, a shuttle service and helpful concierge, the Veranda Natural Resort has you covered.
Restaurants & Bars
Veranda’s Bakery & Café
Indulge in the huge selection of homemade cakes, pastries and artisan bread at the Veranda Bakery & Café, ideal if heading to the beach or on a picnic. Their range of coffee is particularly good too, a nice spot if needing a break from the sun.
- Breakfast
- Lunch
Pool Bar
No need to interrupt an afternoon of sunbathing and swimming while staying at Veranda Natural Resort, as each of the two pools have a bar on-hand for liquid refreshments and a selection of snacks to keep hunger at bay.
The Secret Bar & Restaurant
The wood-clad, semi-alfresco Secret Bar & Restaurant at Veranda Natural Resort feels perfectly at home on its elevated hillside perch, as Cambodian cuisine is served amidst creeping vines and surrounded by native trees. Here you can dine on fresh seafood, classic Chinese dishes and local favourites beside a wraparound balcony, overlooking the forest canopy and coastline beyond. If all of the ‘seats with a view’ are taken, however, don’t panic, as the central space is just as atmospheric thanks to its tree trunk pillars and reclaimed wooden furniture.

Activities & Entertainment
Staying at Veranda Natural Resort you’ll have the beach and boat trips, tours of Kep National Park and the shops, restaurants and bars of Kep Town itself all within easy reach. The hotel also puts on regular cookery and cultural classes, wine and cheese tasting, live music in the evening plus activities for kids in the Happy Hut. There’s a games room too, perfect if looking to escape to the spa for a sneaky treatment or two during the day.
