Amansara

About Amansara

Unwind at this cool and collected resort with the temples of Angkor Wat right next door.

From not-so-humble beginnings as the guest house for King Sihanouk, the hotel was transformed by the renowned Aman group into a chic and calming oasis in Siem Reap. Built in the understated New Khmer style, there's little to distract from pure relaxation. After arriving in a royal 1960s Mercedes, enjoy pampering treatments at the spa and retreat to the blissful seclusion of your suite before cocktails on the candlelit rooftop. Intricate sandstone reliefs drop hints about the sights waiting just outside the garden walls - you'll have a private entrance to the striking Angkor Wat temples and plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself in the city.

Property details

The property

Sheltered by walls of greenery, Amansara is mod and stylish with rustic stone columns and sandstone patios. Lined by loungers, the pool is rather inviting and there's a smaller lap pool for even more privacy. Once a vibrant dance hall, the circular dining room (and bar) is a minimalist dream with linen-topped tables, a plush lounge and glass doors flung open to let in the garden air. Tuck into well-chosen Khmer and western dishes - the Australian beef with a Kampot peppercorn is divine! Sunrise yoga can be enjoyed at the open-air studio or on the rooftop for the best views.

The rooms

Softly finished with pale terrazzo and timber, the open-plan suites have polished, retro furnishings including a pillowy bed, writing desk and lounge. Expansive glass doors lead into a sunny courtyard decorated with ornate carvings and cushioned spots to recline - and some have a private pool. The bathrooms are in-suite (the toilet and rain shower are separate) with a superb island bath and slick, black vanities. The air-conditioned suites are well-stocked with a sound system, mini bar and a daily supply of fruits, cheese and freshly-baked treats.

Activities

A trip to Siem Reap means a day (or more!) spent amongst the monumental ruins of Angkor Wat where you'll see the world-famous bas reliefs at these ancient temples. Join a Buddhist monk for walking meditation in the forest and a water blessing to send you safely on your travels. If you're feeling adventurous, trek into the jungle to spot a gibbon as they lollop through the trees or explore the countryside in a jeep. Spend time at a village home where you'll learn to cook up some local favourites and catch a performance by the dazzling Cambodian circus.

Why we love it

Amansara does dining with flair! Enjoy a romantic breakfast as you cruise Tonle Sap Lake or feast like a royal with a five-course dinner at the 10th-century temple of Prasat Kravan.

Insiders Tip

Whether you're exploring Siem Reap or spending as much time by the pool as possible, there are two breakfast options. The first is before dawn temple visits and the second is brunch at the hotel or in a Khmer village.

Something to think about

Each suite is set in its own courtyard, which makes them supremely private but a tad stifling if you prefer a garden view.
