Situated about ten kilometres from the centre of Battambang, La Villa Moloppor occupies an intermediate position between urban landscapes and the surrounding countryside. Built according to traditional Khmer architecture, the villa is organised around a garden, outdoor spaces and a common area, with a restaurant overlooking the pool.

Why choose La Villa Moloppor

This address will appeal to travellers who wish to explore the Battambang area without staying in the city centre. The villa combines the comfort of a characterful hotel, Khmer architecture, and immediate proximity to the countryside, the bamboo train and rural temples. It is an ideal stopover for a two or three-night stay in Cambodge's second city, often included in an itinerary linking Phnom Penh to Battambang and then Siem Reap.

Atmosphere and architecture

The main building follows the design principles of the traditional Khmer house: wooden volumes, large openings, and extensions into the garden. The restaurant is situated poolside, making it the focal point of life at the villa, from breakfast through to dinner. The common area and outdoor spaces offer several zones for reading or relaxation, in a peaceful atmosphere away from the bustle of the city centre.

Rooms and services

All rooms and suites are equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen television and a minibar. Bathrooms feature both a bathtub and a walk-in shower.

• Restaurant by the pool, traditionally Khmer breakfast
• On-site massage salon
• Garden, terraces and common area
• Transport service from the coach station, train station or Siem Reap airport (approximately 3 hours' drive)
• ATM and café immediately adjacent to the entrance

Location

The villa is situated about ten kilometres from Battambang town centre, accessible by tuk-tuk or bicycle in around twenty minutes. This deliberate distance allows you to enjoy rural tranquillity while remaining within reach of the city's main attractions. Transfers to or from Siem Reap can be arranged directly with the hotel.
