Phum Baitang Resort

With a name that means 'green village', you wouldn't expect anything less than acres of wafting palms, lemon grass meadows and a rice paddy where water buffalos can be seen dozing in the shade as you cycle by. Designed to mirror a quintessential Cambodian village, Phum Baitang is blissfully rustic. Leave your quaint wooden villa to take a dip in the tropical pool (with drinks at the bar) or saunter over to the Spa Temple where ancient rituals bring you back to life. Tucked away from any sign of busyness, the resort provides a bevy of cushioned spots to sink into and simply enjoy the tranquil surrounds and when you're re-energised, Siem Reap is just a tuk tuk ride away.
