Amansara

Amansara is a peaceful sanctuary located on the outskirts of Siem Reap, Cambodia's cultural capital, just ten minutes from the entrance to Angkor Wat and a short walk from the Cambodian royal family's residence. Minutes from the sacred temples of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 1960s New Khmer architecture masterpiece, originally commissioned by King Norodom Sihanouk, now houses 24 sleek suites. The tranquil grounds feature a replica of the original pool, and many suites boast private gardens and plunge pools, creating an introspective atmosphere. Guests can explore Angkor in custom-fitted remorks and vintage Jeeps with their private guides. The spa offers holistic Khmer treatments and sunrise yoga sessions. The circular Dining Room, set beneath a soaring ceiling, serves Khmer and Western cuisine made with local, seasonal produce. From birthday celebrations to anniversary dinners, Amansara's unique atmosphere can be further enhanced with local dancers or a blessing from a Buddhist monk.
