AMANSARA

Amansara, a tranquil sanctuary near Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a ten-minute drive from Angkor Wat and a short walk from the former royal residence. This 24-suite property, a restored 1960s New Khmer architectural masterpiece originally commissioned by King Norodom Sihanouk, features a replica of the original pool. Many suites offer private gardens and plunge pools. Guests can explore Angkor with private guides in custom-fitted remorks and vintage Jeeps. The spa provides holistic Khmer treatments and sunrise yoga. The circular Dining Room serves Khmer and Western cuisine using local, seasonal ingredients. Special occasions can be enhanced with local dancers or a Buddhist monk's blessing.
