Amansara

Amansara, the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, is situated on the edge of Siem Reap just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It derives its name from the twinning of two Sanskrit words 'aman' (peace) and 'apsara' (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu mythology).

Set in a garden compound, the 24-suite resort has the ambience of a private home and is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor. Each suite enjoys an open-plan setting with finishes in terrazzo and timber, and features a stunning bathroom with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a large light-filled courtyard garden with cushioned banquette.

Near the main swimming pool, the circular Dining Room is the focal point of the property, with a menu featuring traditional Khmer and Western cuisines, as well as a walk-in wine and cheese cellar.

Other features of this stunning property are a library, rooftop terrace, spa, lap pool, and a variety of temple tours and cultural walks are available as part of the guest experience.
