The first thing you need to know about Amansara is that it’s a stone’s throw from Angkor Wat, an ancient temple complex that rivals the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu for sheer jaw-dropping impact. Guests at Amansara have the privilege of relaxing in a modernist royal residence, a mere ten minutes from this one-of-a-kind UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Formerly the guesthouse of King Sihanou, Amansara is a beautiful 24-suite property set within a lush garden compound. It has the ambiance of a private home, albeit one that is unfathomably luxurious. Built by a French architect in 1962, the residence exudes 60s cool, with low-slung chalets spaced around an irregular-shaped swimming pool and a shady lawn.
