Amansara
Siem Reap - Cambodia
★★★★★+
Situated in Siem Reap, the cultural capital of Cambodia, just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amansara was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. Today the walled garden compound serves as a tranquil 24-suite Angkor Wat luxury resort with the ambience of a gracious home. Amansara is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor. A variety of Cambodia temple excursions and cultural walks is available as part of the guest experience.
Amansara derives its name from the twinning of the words ‘aman’ (Sanskrit for ‘peace’) and ‘apsara’, the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts. The apsaras, it is said, emerged from the primordial churning of the oceans with the power not only to change their form at will, but also to bestow luck on those they favoured. So all-embracing was their influence on Cambodian mythology and its numerous expressions, that delicate apsara basreliefs decorate practically every Angkor temple.
Amansara offers 24 suites, similar in design, including the courtyards of 12 Pool Suites featuring private plunge pools measuring 6 by 5 metres.
Rates in USD per suite per night, double occupancy, daily a la carte half board (lunch or dinner), non-alcoholic house beverages, daily seasonal fruits and selection of cheese, afternoon tea, daily excursion to Angkor temples with English speaking guide and transport (excluding temple pass), roundtrip airport transfers from Siem Reap airport, remork transportation within Siem Reap town, VIP immigration assistance on arrival at Siem Reap International Airport, laundry service, 11% government tax, 10% service charge and 2,42% accommodation tax on room rate included.
