Kep West, a pioneer of sustainable hospitality in Southeast Asia, is launching its signature retreat programme, the Sail & Serenity and Autumn Alignment Retreats. The resort aims to redefine wellness in travel by transforming it from a luxurious add-on to a foundational element of personal growth, cultural connection, and environmental stewardship. The Sail & Serenity Yoga Retreat, a first of its kind in Cambodia, combines the freedom of the sea with the grounding practices of yoga and meditation. Guests will begin each morning with a yoga practice to build strength, balance, and mental focus, essential for navigating the ocean and inner landscapes.
“The Kep West Wellness Centre was opened last year to meet the growing demand for meaningful, healing travel,” said Jef Moons, Founder and CEO of Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West. “Since its launch, Lana Yang has played an instrumental role in transforming our wellness approach to an integrated, holistic programme. Our newly launched retreats allow guests to reset, reconnect, and be part of a wider movement toward regenerative living.”
Midday sessions include hands-on sailing instruction aboard small crafts, covering everything from rigging and tacking to capsize recovery. Evenings are devoted to gentle recovery yoga and Tibetan bowl sound therapy to release physical tension and enhance emotional clarity.
All participants are guided toward earning a basic sailing certification, making this retreat restorative and skill-building. With nourishing meals and quiet evenings under the stars, Sail & Serenity offers an inspiring blend of movement, challenge, and deep rest.
Co-led by Lana Yang and veteran yoga therapist Aimee, this highly anticipated three-day retreat is designed around the ancient yogic principle of chakra alignment, balancing the body’s energy centers through asana, breathwork, and meditation.
Autumn Alignment features a full spectrum of yogic tools: dynamic morning flows, deep yin and restorative practices, guided philosophy discussions, evening chanting, and silent mornings for reflection. Meals are gan, light, and cleansing, designed to support energetic clarity. Set just after the equinox, Autumn Alignment is an ideal opportunity for those looking to reset their inner compass and prepare for the year’s final stretch with intention and clarity.
In addition to scheduled retreats, guests can reserve private, fully customizable wellness journeys throughout the year. These ongoing programmes are ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small groups seeking meaningful transformation.
- Yoga & Spa Daycation: This one-day immersion combines a 90-minute morning yoga, breathwork, and meditation session with a nourishing three-course vegetarian lunch, reflective journaling grounded in yogic philosophy, and a choice between a restorative spa treatment or Tibetan sound healing session. Perfect for weekenders, locals, and digital nomads looking for a mindful reset.
- Wabi Sabi Yoga Retreat – Embrace Your Truth: Offered in three- or five-day journeys, this personalized retreat is surrounded by nature, enabling participants to embrace imperfection, cultivate self-compassion, and reconnect with their truths. The immersion blends daily meditation, energizing yoga, themed journaling, and plant-based cuisine with optional excursions such as forest hikes, traditional monk blessings, or kayaking. Evenings feature restorative practices like chanting and Yoga Nidra to support deep rest and integration.
