3 Resorts to relax after a day visiting the temples of Angkor

The iconic Angkor complex is the main attraction offered to travelers visiting Cambodia. Its vast natural expanse, fascinating history, and unique architecture make it one of the most famous ancient capitals in the world. Exploring the entire site takes time, sometimes days or even weeks of walking. Most visitors, however, opt for the 3-day pass, which allows them to discover a large part of the park.

During peak season, especially in January, temperatures in Angkor are milder than in April, but the sites are also much more crowded. The hours of walking, although made more bearable by abundant vegetation and refreshing breezes, can be exhausting and will definitely be felt by the end of the day. The hotels and resorts surrounding the archaeological site, and even within the city of Siem Reap itself, are well aware of this and often tailor their services accordingly. Here are three resorts that promote relaxation and provide a perfect way to end a day full of memories.

The immersion at The Beige

The Japanese hotel, The Beige, nestled deep in the heart of the Angkor forest, offers a stunning setting for a well-deserved rest. The rooms, designed as large canvas tents with sepia tones, evoke the spirit of 19th-century explorers, transporting you into the history of Angkor's discovery. The décor places you in the shoes of those adventurers who sought this legendary city, once unknown to the public in France and only described by Portuguese explorers who arrived centuries earlier.

The hotel’s pool seems to be the perfect place to recover after a long day of walking. Set five meters above the ground, it allows you to look over the treetops and dominate the surrounding forests.

The vegetation of Angkor Village Resort

Located in the heart of Siem Reap, Angkor Village Resort is perfect for those who prefer to relax before heading out for an evening stroll in town or enjoying a meal at a restaurant with family, friends, or a partner. Its proximity to the city contrasts with the peaceful atmosphere felt within the resort. The property is surrounded by lush vegetation that encircles the rooms, which are designed as traditional wooden Asian chalets.

The harmony of the surroundings is refreshing after long daily walks. The pool is also surrounded by trees and plants, creating the feeling of being in the heart of a shaded jungle—perfect for relaxation. You can also enjoy a one-hour (or more) massage session to recover and relieve your back.

The Art of Treeline

The wood and stone architecture of Treeline blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. This design provides a refreshing coolness, ideal after a long day. Located by the Siem Reap River, the Treeline team has based its interior design on contemporary Cambodian art. Whether in the modern and minimalist rooms, corridors, lobby, pool area, or restaurant, you will feel the influence of this art, which is sure to spark your curiosity. It’s a place full of serenity and relaxation.
