Luxury Siem Reap and Angkor
Wat Tours made for you

Meaning ‘green village’ in Khmer, Phum Baitang is set within eight acres of lush gardens and rice paddies away from the bustle of Siem Reap, yet still just minutes from the temples of Angkor. And indeed it does appear as a traditional Cambodian village on first sight, but you’ll soon notice intricate design touches and modern luxuries between the rusticity. There are 45 private stilted and thatched villas, each built in a traditional style with carefully considered contemporary touches, with extensive use of reclaimed wood, expansive terraces, handpicked furniture and wonderfully spacious bathrooms with egg-shaped baths carved from local stone. 20 of the villas have their own outdoor plunge pools. Two restaurants lie in the village, Hang Bay, which serves a fusion of cultural cuisine, and Bay Phsar, which has the feel of a local market and is the venue to try vibrant Cambodian flavours created using freshly picked ingredients including herbs from the organic garden and rice straight from the surrounding paddies. One of the bars sits alongside the scenic 50m infinity pool but our favourite is the cigar and cocktail lounge, housed within a reconstructed century-old farmhouse that has shelves bursting with vintage liqueurs, gin and whisky, surely one of the coolest bars in Southeast Asia. End a day of temple exploration at the spa, an ancient looking temple offering age-old healing techniques and beauty recipes using indigenous ingredients. Aside from temples, Phum Baitang offers a range of activities, including a kids’ club, private dining experiences and cooking classes, cultural excursions, trips to Tonle Sap and vintage jeep drives..

The former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, Amansara is a first class act with its 24 suites sitting in a garden of white lotus blossoms and orchids. Next to a shady pergola the curved swimming pool is an ideal place to relax during the heat of the day. Enjoy Khmer and western cuisine in the Dining Room, elegant with a soaring seven metre ceiling and pretty terrace. Stroll through the manicured gardens or unwind in the tranquil spa. Make the journey, by bicycle, to Angkor Wat to arrive as the sun begin to cast its light on the magnificent ruins. Your private guide will ensure the best position for a memorable and magical experience.

An elegant hideaway located close to the 12th century UNESCO ruins of Angkor in the heart of Siem Reap. With Khmer-inspired contemporary architecture and design touches, the Park Hyatt is a tranquil urban oasis, with cool, crisp white colonnades leading to the central swimming pool and ancient banyan tree in the main courtyard. There are 108 rooms and suites with custom-made furniture dress and modern luxuries. Some feature courtyard or downtown views plus a separate living room and an indulgent sunken bathtub for two. For further luxury, opt for a suite for your own private outdoor patio, plunge pool, balcony or sun garden. The Dining Room is elegant with black and white marble walls and floors, a cosy venue for intimate dining, while The Living Room bar lounge is a chic place for a cocktail. For comfort food, freshly baked goods and home-made ice cream, head to the Glasshouse Deli.

Relax beneath the lush canopy of ancient trees in the private tropical garden of your villa in the cultural heart of Siem Reap. When designing the ten villa compounds, privacy and comfort were foremost in Bill Bensley’s mind. Think luxurious beds and custom-tailored linen, floor-to-ceiling glassed bathrooms and three-dimensional murals inspired by the folds of pioneering Khmer king Jayavarman’s robes. Artwork depicting Khmer civilisation complements custom-designed furniture and handcrafted fittings. Traditionally-trained butlers are discretely on hand to attend your all your needs. Savour the very best of Khmer cuisine at the signature Kroya Restaurant, which boasts a tasting menu inspired by the seasons and local harvest. Then bring the busy day to a close with an expertly-mixed cocktail at Bensley’s Bar or the Elephant Polo Club. The magnificent Temples of Angkor Wat are just a short drive away, and the Old Market, Kandal Village and Pub Street are within walking distance. Take time out from exploring Siem Reap and unwind in your private pool, or visit the tranquil Shinta Mani Spa by Khmer Tonics. There are a variety of rejuvenating treatments and healing rituals on offer, using Khmer herbs and traditions, which you can enjoy in the spa, or in the privacy of your villa.

Close to Angkor Wat and a short drive into Siem Reap, Raffles Grand Hotel D’Angkor is ideal for those seeking a luxury retreat whilst visiting the Khmer temples of the region. Set in lush gardens, the generously sized pool (the largest in Siem Reap) is framed by fragrant Frangipani trees and a beautiful place to unwind. Colonial in style, the 119 rooms and suites are elegantly furnished with polished wood floors and sumptuous linens; butler service is available 24/7. With a choice of restaurants and bars, Restaurant Le Grand is considered one of the best in Siem Reap offering Royal Khmer cuisine and western fine dining.

Set within the charming French Quarter of Siem Reap, in close distance to the Old Market area, Shinta Mani Angkor promises a tranquil escape of complete sophistication. This elegant establishment, with a strong focus on responsible tourism, also allows guests to contribute to the local community through the Shinta Mani Foundation – a percentage of your daily room rate goes towards funding an array of instrumental projects. With just 39 guestrooms, carefully curated by Bangkok-based designer, Bill Bensley, you’re guaranteed warm, personalised service of the highest quality. Inspired by Khmer culture, the polished guestrooms feature inlaid ceiling artwork, and black and white colour schemes are enhanced by orange elements. Centred around an outdoor pool, encircled by cabanas and a tropical garden, Shinta Mani Angkor provides a most serene base from which to explore the temples of Angkor Wat. After a day of sightseeing, guests can reflect in the incredibly serene spa while indulging in a therapeutic treatment, or the coolness of the library or art gallery. Spirits can also be replenished at the on-site restaurant, Kroya, serving local and international dishes. Further refreshment can be enjoyed at the poolside bar, with a menu of tempting cocktails, or the refined Bensley’s Bar, overlooking a courtyard.
