Overview

Amansara is a deluxe boutique hotel situated in a peaceful suburb of vibrant Siem Reap, northwest Cambodia. Formerly a guest residence for Cambodia’s King Sihanouk, this upmarket property is located ten minutes from the Angkor temple complex and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor Wat. Boasting 24 high end suites, a restaurant, a spa, and two swimming pools, all nestled within tranquil gardens, Amansara offers a sophisticated, exclusive retreat for travellers uninhibited by budget.

The hotel’s airy, elegant dining room offers additional alfresco seating by the pool, and offers a seasonal menu, featuring both Khmer and western cuisine. The lovely roof garden and terrace is a popular venue for cocktails and private dining. An atmospheric dining experience is also available at the resort’s private Khmer property, a traditional wooden house on stilts located in nearby Angkor Archaeological Park. Hotel facilities include an extensive library, where cultural events and exhibitions are regularly hosted, a boutique, and a peaceful spa. The property has two beautiful outdoor swimming pools with loungers, including a 25-metre lap pool.

Activities include sunrise visits to Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, famed for its mysterious stone faces, and the ancient jungle temple of Ta Prohm. The hotel’s complimentary tuk tuks and bicycles offer an atmospheric way to explore Siem Reap’s bustling streets and markets and the picturesque surrounding villages. Back at the hotel, indulge with a massage or spa treatment, take part in a yoga session, or relax in one of the two pools, surrounded by the verdant gardens.

Accommodation comprises 24 chic, open-plan suites, tastefully designed with pale walls and dark timber fittings. Each suite has a king-size or twin beds, and a lounge area with a sofa and writing desk. Floor to ceiling glass doors open onto a private leafy courtyard with loungers, and some suites have a private plunge pool. The spacious light-filled bathrooms have twin basins, shower and a freestanding bathtub, and each suite has air conditioning, fans, Wi-Fi and minibar.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
