Kep (also spelled Kaeb) is part of Kep Province, which is the smallest of the Cambodian provinces, and it's also one of the newest in the Kingdom. The province was only formed in 2008, following a Royal Decree, and is one of the least populated areas in the country.

Kep Tourism has grown steadily since the 1990s and Kep is now among the top Cambodian tourist destinations. The Government is also working on a Kep Tourism Masterplan to be completed in 2020- the Ministry of Tourism aims to transform Kep province “to be a world standard tourism hub”.

The provincial capital is Kep District and the province contains the Kep National Park, while offshore there is a scattering of small islands in the Kep Peninsula. The Kep beach remains of the key tourist attractions. 

There are dozens of boutique hotels, guesthouses, backpacker-focussed hostels and more accommodation options, mostly located in the main town, near the beach and north of the Crab Market.
