Angkor Village Resort and Spa is a larger, resort-style sister to the garden hotel in Wat Bo, with 104 individually furnished rooms set in a village-style compound. It is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and its facilities are generous: an outdoor pool and a children’s pool, an on-site spa with aromatherapy, hydrotherapy and body scrubs, two restaurants serving local cuisine and kids’ meals, a poolside bar and a rooftop terrace. Guests can play tennis, join yoga classes and rent bicycles, and a free breakfast buffet and a free round-trip airport shuttle are among the practical perks. The mix of recreation and relaxation suits travellers who want to stay put on some afternoons rather than head into town. The village setting gives the resort a quiet, green atmosphere, away from the bustle of the town centre but still within easy reach of the museum and the royal gardens.
Location and getting around
The resort is in Phum Treang village, on the edge of the central area. The Angkor National Museum is a nineteen-minute walk, the Royal Garden is about a four-minute drive, and the airport is roughly a fifty-six-minute drive. Distances to the Old Market and Pub Street are not given, so plan to use the free shuttle or a tuk-tuk to reach them. Temple tours can be arranged through the hotel.
Rooms and facilities
With 104 rooms, the resort offers a range of options, and facilities include free Wi-Fi, free self and valet parking, a meeting room and babysitting for a fee. The airport shuttle runs on request through the day and evening. Check the rate to see what is included, since breakfast is part of many bookings.
Who it suits
Families who like a resort with activities, couples who want a spa and a pool, and groups who value on-site dining and a shuttle. The children’s pool and the kids’ menus make it a practical choice for parents.
Good to know
Because the resort is a little further from the centre than the Wat Bo hotels, it suits travellers who plan to spend evenings on-site or take a short ride into town. Book early for the dry months from November to March, ask about yoga timings and reserve spa treatments for the afternoon after a temple morning.
Nearby and what to do
The Angkor National Museum and the Royal Garden are close enough to visit in an easy half-day, and the museum is a good introduction before you head to the temples. Evenings can be spent in the resort’s restaurants, or you can take the shuttle or a tuk-tuk into town for Pub Street and the night markets. The pool, tennis courts and yoga classes make it simple to build rest into a temple-heavy itinerary, and the spa is well placed for a late-afternoon massage.
