White Sands

White Sands is a hotel in Kep, Cambodia — one of 83 places to stay we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 218 mapped locations in Kep. In Khmer it would be described as សណ្ឋាគារនៅកែប. It sits at 10.47769, 104.30804, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a place to stay, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Kep. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find White Sands is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 0 m south-west of Sahie Restaurant, and about 0 m south-west of waterfront, with Palm House a further 200 m north-west. Drivers in Kep usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Kep, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

White Sands is mapped as a hotel in Kep. Room rates across the province usually start around US$12 to US$20 a night for a fan or basic air-conditioned double in a guesthouse, US$25 to US$60 for a mid-range hotel with a lift, hot water and breakfast, and above that for resorts and boutique properties with a pool. Rates rise sharply around Khmer New Year, Pchum Ben and the Water Festival, and during the December to February dry-season peak.

Ask to see the room before paying — standards vary widely between rooms in the same building — and confirm whether the price includes breakfast, laundry and airport or bus-station pickup. Almost every property holds your passport details at check-in, most offer free Wi-Fi of variable speed, and many can arrange tuk-tuk drivers, motorbike rental and day trips at fixed prices posted at reception.

White Sands is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Sahie Restaurant (restaurant, 0 m south-west), waterfront (bar, 0 m south-west), Palm House (hotel, 200 m north-west), Kep Stay (hotel, 300 m north). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
