Amansara was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk.

Transformed into a 24-suite retreat, the resort is set in a private

garden compound with the inviting ambience of a gracious home.

Situated in the bustling town of Siem Reap, it is located 15 minutes

from the airport and just 10 minutes from the entrance to Angkor,
Cambodia’s world-renowned archaeological park.
The Dining Room opens onto a shaded terrace where one can
enjoy al fresco dining. On either side, stone-columned corridors
lead to the suites.

The Roof Garden (above), with cushioned seating and low tables,
offers an alternative spot for early evening drinks or dinner from
October through to the end of April.
There are 12 Pool Suites each measuring 80 square metres with a six
by five-metre pool in a private courtyard.

A table and chairs suitable for private dining can be found in each
courtyard adjacent to the pool, as well as at the entrance to the suite,
overlooking the main lawn.
All suites are finished
in earthy shades with
cool grey terrazzo, dark
timber and ivory walls.

Suites offer a combined

sleeping and living area
in an open plan setting.
The king-size bed, writing
desk and sofa are on an
elevated platform.
The bathroom features a large
soaking tub and twin vanities.

Courtyards without a pool vary

in size and contain small water
gardens. Pool courtyards are
identical in size.
The circular Dining Room with its
soaring seven-metre high ceiling
offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The house menu features Khmer
and international cuisine and
changes daily to include fresh,
seasonal produce.

The Dining Room also provides

a walk-in wine cellar and cheese
room, and an informal seating area
where guests can help themselves
to home-baked cakes and enjoy
drinks from the house bar.
Amansara’s Spa is
accessed along a
pathway paralleled
by a long reflecting
pool. The recep-
tion area is flanked
by a lounge and a
courtyard garden
with an ancient
Rain Tree.
Four treatment rooms, each
with an attached private
relaxation area, steam bath
and shower, overlook a
reflection pond set against
a 43-metre Angkor-inspired
sandstone bas relief.
Hidden from view behind a six-metre high wall,
the five by 25-metre Lap Pool (left ) provides
guests an additional swimming facility. The main
swimming pool is adjacent to the Dining Room.

The Library (above ) provides an extensive

collection of books on Cambodia and Indochina,
as well as Internet service, magazines and daily
newspapers. It is also the venue for informal
lectures when Amansara hosts scholars and other
experts on Khmer culture.

The Gallery and Boutique (below ) offers a

selection of Khmer jewellery, hand-woven silks
and local handicrafts.
Angkor, as seen through the eyes of Amansara, provides guests with the
unique opportunity to learn and understand the history and value of
Khmer civilization. Each Amansara suite is provided with its own custom-
fitted remork and driver (right) for Angkor and town expeditions.

Amansara’s Khmer Village House (far right) is situated within the Angkor
Archaeological Park, overlooking the ancient man-made reservoir of Sras
Srang. Guests can enjoy private picnics and romantic dinners at the house,
with live music and a personal chef.
Angkor Wat (right ) is the largest and
most spectacular of the Angkorian
monuments, built in the early 12th
century. It has become a symbol of
Cambodia and an immense source
of national pride. The impressive bas
reliefs on the lower levels should
not be missed.
While the temples
are ruins today,
they are not empty.
Many are still active
sites of worship and
saffron-robed monks
are a common and
picturesque sight.
