Amansara

Road to Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia

About us

Amansara, the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, is situated on the edge of Siem Reap just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site. It derives its name from the twinning of two Sanskrit words – aman (peace) and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu mythology). Set in a garden compound, the 24-suite resort has the ambience of a private home and is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor. A variety of temple tours and cultural walks is available as part of the guest experience. Located near the main swimming pool, the circular Dining Room with its soaring seven-metre ceiling and shaded terrace is the focal point of the property. The menu offers both traditional Khmer and Western cuisines and features the freshest of seasonal produce. The dining area also includes a walk-in wine and cheese cellar where guests can make their selection, and a casual lounging area where they can help themselves to home-baked cakes on display. Guests can also dine poolside or in-suite. Every suite features a complimentary mini-bar with a range of alcoholic beverages as well as alternative herbal drinks and snacks.

Local Attractions

Tonle Sap lake private cruises

Recreation

40 mins

Aboard our renovated local motorboat, passive approach to Cambodia’s captivating landscape. As you recline on our cushy daybeds, we cruise the nearby lake of Tonle Sap, visiting the floating village of Chong Kneas. Skilful drivers motor their boats quickly past us with just inches to spare. It is fascinating to witness the adaptation of village life on water through the changing seasons. If you return to Amansara after the green season, be sure to re- board Amanbala to see the transformation and relocation of these traditional villages. The rich and varied plant, fish and bird life here makes this, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, vital to Cambodia and the region. We offer you detailed information on why and how this ecosystem is of such importance, whilst you leisurely enjoy sunrise, brunch, lunch or sunset cocktails served on board.

Countryside jeep rally

Recreation

20 mins

A slice of local rural life in the outskirts of Siem Reap and Angkor Park. Our well-chosen route will have you passing children riding their bikes whilst their mothers will be on their way to market for fresh food supplies or heading off to work in the rice fields. Depending on the season you will catch the ritual of sugar palm sap collection, rice planting or harvesting, fishing for a tiny catch from the roadside canals and the fascinating cottage industries of sugar palm production, basket weaving & fresh rice noodles as prepared in simple village homes. Wonderful photo opportunities with candid moments along the sandy dirt roads. We can also arrange additionally to integrate an adventure by bicycle as part of this trip, taking you through buffalo, hidden pagodas or along the Angkorian walls.

Conservation D’Angkor

Historical landmark

1 km

Conservation D’Angkor is a warehouse of treasures located just a kilometre from the stone temples of Angkor and a short remork ride from Amansara. The Conservation houses more than 6,000 pieces of Khmer art. Founded by the French colonial authorities in the early 20th century, the Conservation was originally charged with protecting all of Cambodia’s Khmer artefacts and temples. As such, this extraordinary heritage collection is not without controversy. Despite the thousands of travellers who visit Angkor every year, few visitors are allowed past the security guards at the Conservation.

Angkor Archaeological Park

Historical landmark

8 kms

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park is home to the jungle-covered ruins of the Khmer Empire, which flourished between the 9th and 14th centuries. Amansara can arrange a bespoke tour itinerary to explore the world famous Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Phrom and Banteay Srey temples.
