Amansara lies in the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk. This classic sixties structure has been converted into a calm oasis on the outskirts of bustling Siem Reap. This tranquil home offers a multitude of relaxing opportunities within its private garden enclave: a sultry curved slate swimming pool surrounded by bamboo and taupe cushioned loungers with a shaded pergola for alfresco delights; the Dining Room, previously the screening room of King Sihanouk, is both dramatic and outstanding with a cavernous seven-metre high ceiling and a well stocked walk-in wine cellar. The 24 suites are decorated in a classic Indochinese palette of cool grey, pristine white, dark timber and ivory with private courtyards and soothing water features with 12 offering private swimming pools. The Roof Garden, surrounded and shaded by trees, with mushroom hued cushions on low seating, is the ideal venue for relaxing by candlelight with pre-prandial drinks or, invigorating yoga sessions with the rising sun.

GUEST ROOM SERVICE

A cool, earthy and sophisticated palette of grey, white, dark wood and ivory washes all the suites with subtle elegance culminating in a distinct serenity that serenades its sixties conception and complements its distinctive and astonishing surrounding culture. The suites offer a breezy open-plan design balancing the tranquil sleep chamber with the subtle seating area on a floor of soft grey terrazzo. The bathrooms, clear-cut in white and dark wood are luxuriantly spacious with deep soaking tubs and generous twin vanities and an enclosed courtyard featuring a soothing water garden.
A secretly placed, additional lap pool languishes invitingly behind a vast stone clad wall, a feature, echoed throughout the resort and land, of hidden treasures and wondrous surprises.

Suites: Amansara has 12 Suites, similar in design, featuring an open plan setting with finishes in terrazzo and timber. Colours are muted and earthy. Entry is to a combined sleeping and living area that contains a large writing desk and a king-size bed.
Adjacent is a dressing area with hanging cupboards and drawers. The lounge has a large sofa, an informal circular dining table and chairs. Beyond, and leading down a few steps, is the bathroom which opens onto a light-filled courtyard featuring a water garden and cushioned banquette. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer views of the courtyard which features a small water garden. Each suite is air-conditioned, with ceiling fans and a music system.

Pool suites: Twelve Pool Suites feature a private six by five-metre swimming pool and are fronted by additional private dining areas beside a grassy courtyard.

RESTAURANTS & BAR

The Dining Room, near the swimming pool, is a focal point of the property and unique in design. It is circular in shape with a soaring seven-metre ceiling and has an informal ambience for dining or all day lounging. The menu offers both traditional Khmer and Western cuisines and features the freshest of seasonal produce. The dining room also features a walk-in wine cellar where guests may make their selection. Guests may also dine and snack poolside, or enjoy their in-room complimentary minibar that offers a range of healthy alternative herbal drinks as well as the usual favorites. The Roof Terrace offers a seasonal alternative spot for early evening drinks or lunch, with cushioned seating and low tables shaded by trees. It is also an ideal place for yoga or quiet contemplation, especially at sunrise.

Providing a facility that opens a further expression of the ancient Khmer traditions guests absorb on daily treks to the vast ruins of Angkor, the Amansara Spa is accessed along a pathway paralleled by a long reflecting pool. Steps lead up to a reception area which is flanked by a courtyard garden and an ancient Rain Tree. Guests may choose from four treatment rooms, each with an attached private relaxation room. Equipped with a steam bath, shower and music system, this private relaxation room features glass walls overlooking a tranquil reflection pool backed by a 43m Angkor-inspired sandstone bas relief. Baths, showers, a sound system, and massage and beauty treatments making use of traditional Cambodian techniques and natural products, combine to imbue the Amansara Spa with the peace of a tranquil refuge.

Amansara has a team of skilled masseuses providing a range of traditional treatments that may be enjoyed in the spa treatment rooms, privacy of the suites, by the poolside or on the roof terrace. Treatments include, 'Scents of Cambodia' utilizing blended oils, 'Touch of the East' which is an oil-free stretch and acupressure release and the 'Amansara foot cooler' that will restore temple-weary feet with a peppermint scrub and massage. A highlight is the 'Teap bourn', which translates as 'Four healing angels from heaven'. This is a skillful, oil-free, intuitive massage by a blind therapist (two are available at Amansara) with a portion of the fee going to their care and maintenance.

The Spa’s menu and its treatments, in the Aman view, not only provide relief from the physical exertions of exploration but reflect holistic Khmer traditions readily discernable throughout Angkor’s great temple complex.
