Set on National Road Six, the resort sits ten minutes from Siem Reap airport and fifteen minutes from the sunrise towers of Angkor Wat. The leafy route passes sugar palms and saffron-clad monks on bicycles. Tuk-tuks whisk you past old French shop-houses to riverside cafés or silk workshops. At dusk, dragonflies skim the moat of Angkor Thom while you watch from a quiet viewing deck arranged by the resident Temple Guru.
Suites start at 46 square metres and rise to the 235 square metre Henri Mouhot Two Bedroom retreat. Premier Suites mix silk drapes with balcony daybeds that overlook the pool. Terrace Suites add plunge pools hidden by frangipani. Anantara Suites include daily spa rituals on twin treatment beds beside a whirlpool tub. The Explorer Suite honours Jim Thompson with vivid Thai silk and a private garden pool, perfect for an intimate twilight swim.
Join the Streetwise Guru for a Vespa ride through alley markets, where you'll taste palm sugar waffles hot from charcoal griddles. Pedal a vintage bike past emerald rice paddies toward Bayon, where a monk offers a water blessing. Return for a Khmer massage that presses lotus balm into weary muscles. Later, flip morning market finds into coconut curry during a Spice Spoons lesson, then sip lemongrass spritz at the pool bar as cicadas hum.
The courtyard pool glows turquoise beneath sandstone apsaras and palm fronds. Anantara Spa offers three spa suites with an outdoor Jacuzzi, steam, sauna and rooftop yoga. Spice Spoons school guides you from market stalls to mortar and pestle mastery. A fleet of private tuk-tuks stands ready for sunrise temple runs. The boardroom, which seats eight around a hand-carved teak table, transforms into an elegant event space. A discreet butler coordinates each detail.
Chi Restaurant & Bar presents refined Khmer tasting menus that pair river prawn amok with Old World reds. L Lounge serves Khmer cold brew and pandan éclairs through the afternoon, then shifts to champagne high tea with jasmine notes. Dining by Design crafts candlelit suppers on a rooftop or within a torch-lit courtyard, complete with a personal chef and sommelier. Each dish uses herbs from the resort garden and rice sourced from surrounding villages.
Weddings unfold beside the courtyard pool, draped with lotus blooms, echoing the reflection ponds of Angkor Wat. Vows ring out beneath a silk canopy while apsara dancers scatter jasmine petals. Small gatherings dine at Chi on Royal Khmer platters carved from banana blossom. The events team arranges dawn blessings within a hidden temple, complete with conch shell music and monk chanting. Each moment weaves culture, craft and heartfelt care into a truly regal celebration.
