For a perfectly located little haven in the centre of Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, you can do no better than the hip, boutique Rambutan Resort.
Location
Your rather perfect location puts you in the heart of the historical centre Siem Reap in a peaceful residential area. The resort is located on a quiet paved lane just 5 minutes’ walk from Phsar Cha (the old market). It’s the ideal spot for an independent traveller who values privacy and likes to stay somewhere authentic that’s just that little bit different. Siem Reap is a great all year round travel destination, it’s coolest December and January but April to June is perfect for sun lovers too.
Style & Character
The resort is chic and stylish with wonderful local Asian touches; stunning artwork, locally made furniture and silk textiles. Rambutan Resort is one of those places where you can feel like you are making an ethical choice by staying here, they are a social enterprise and offer free education scholarships and comprehensive healthcare to their local staff, they are also gay friendly.
Service & Facilities
Tucked in the lush tropical gardens you’ll come across two oasis saltwater pools, ideal for a refreshing swim after a busy day sightseeing. There’s also the Urban Residences Spa which offers a wide range of health treatments including Aromatherapy massage, traditional Khmer and Swedish massages; they quite often give complimentary foot massages around the pool too which are fabulous for aching feet!
The staff are friendly and helpful as well as being local experts, so pick their brains for the best places to go and take up their offers of help with bookings.
