Amansara

Once the site of the royal residence of Cambodia’s King Sihanouk, Amansara is a design lover’s dream. It’s minimalist sixties design with a nod to Khmer artisanship, is known to draw in ‘Aman junkies’ from afar. The resort is an icon of new Khmer architecture resting just a stone’s throw away from the ancient temples of Angkor.

Perfectly positioned, Amansara is less than twenty minutes from Siem Reap International Airport and only a ten minute journey to the UNESCO Archaeological Park of Angkor. This makes it an easy stop if you’re enjoying one of our multi-destination journeys in Asia too, visiting Cambodia in-tandem with Thailand, Laos or Vietnam.

Amansara is a palm tree lined sanctuary with two swimming pools, a luxury, four treatment room Spa and a Yoga Shala. There are 24 luxury suites in total, including 12 pool suites. One of the highlights of experiencing our Spiritual Retreats here is a traditional breakfast at the resort’s Khmer Village House, which overlooks the 10^th century Royal bathing pool of Srah Srang and is set within the jungle and ancient temples of Angkor itself. Another exquisite experience is the Amanbala boat excursion to the floating and stilted villages of Tonle Sap lake.

Enjoy privately guided tours of Angkor Wat, The Bayon and lesser known temples. Take a walking meditation with a Master Monk, receive a water blessing and witness Buddhist chants in a local pagoda. And, at the end of a day’s touring, unwind with a traditional Khmer bath therapy (Sras) and a hot herbal compress massage (Sor om Massa).
