Adventure experiences
On
the outskirts of Cambodia's cultural capital, Siem Reap, Amansara lies
at the threshold of Angkor: the vast, UNESCO-protected ruins of the
once-mighty Khmer empire. Using Amansara's fleet of custom-fitted
remorks, guests can explore at leisure some of the thousand temples on
the site, as well as Tonle Sap lake, where stilted villages have changed
little over the centuries.
- Explore Angkor archaeological
park, from the majestic temple of Angkor wat to the stone carvings that
testify to an exceptional civilisation.
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.
- Floating villages on the nearby lake of tonle sap offer insight into the rich culture of the region.
Enjoy
brunch, lunch or sunset cocktails aboard Amansara's lake boat and
discover the varied plant, fish and bird life that help make this vast
inland lake one of Cambodia's most valuable ecosystems.
- Once
coveres by the ancient city of Angkor, the siem reap countryside is now
crisscrossed by sandy tracks best explored on mountain bike.
Cycle
through rice fields dotted with sugar palms and stilted wooden Khmer
houses surrounded by fruit trees and overlooked by the Phnom Kulen hills
in the distance.
- Receive a water blessing to cleanse your spirit at wat Athvea, on the outskirts of Siem reap.
A Buddhist monk performs the purifying ritual at the 12th-century temple - a calming way to begin or end your stay at Amansara.
- Early morning and late afternoon walks explore the temples surrounding Angkor wat, incluing Ta Prohm, Preah Khan and Bayon.
This
vast landscape demonstrates the elaborate interconnection between
complex ritual architecture and pragmatic water management engineering
behind Angkor's design.
- Angkor's heritage of eastern
learning continues at Amansara, with regular visits by specialists in
archaeology, history, dance and culture.
Delve deeper into the
region's heritage by visiting lost jungle temples by helicopter, with
landings at Banteay Chmar, Koh Ker, and Beng Mealea.

Dining
Set beneath a soaring ceiling, the circular Dining Room serves Khmer and western cuisine made from local, seasonal produce.
The RestaurantAmansara's
sleek circular Restaurant offers Cambodian-centred cuisine under
soaring ceilings, or outdoors at pergola-shaded tables by the pool. The
daily changing menus focus on simple flavours, using organic produce
direct from the market and local suppliers. For a unique experience,
private dining is available at the resort's rustic Khmer house at
Angkor, where meals are prepared over charcoal to the sounds and sights
of village life.
Combining a range of contrasting flavours, cambodian fare puts the focus on fresh ingredients and simple preparation.
Plates

chicken salad, quail egg soup with dried fish and black sticky rice with
mango.
Picnic breakfasts and lunches are available at spots across the countryside as well as on the water.
For
special occasions, a private dinner can be arranged inside one of the
temples, accompanied by live musicians and dance performances.
Amansara's
own Kmer Village House overlooks the 10th century royal bathing pool of
Srah Srang, set among the jungle and temples of Angkor.
Enjoy a
traditional Khmer breakfast or morning cooking class before visiting the
temples, or a twilight dinner after a day of exploration.
Spa
Four
treatment rooms, each with a private relaxation area, steam bath and
shower, overlook a 43-metre reflection pool. The extensive spa menu
utilises Aman's unique chemical-free range of Aman Spa products. Private
yoga sessions can be arranged within Amansara's grounds or outdoors
amongst the temples.
Spa experiencesRunning parallel
to a reflection pool, the approach to the spa sets the tone for what
lies within: a tranquil sanctuary, where therapies make use of
traditional Cambodian techniques and natural products. Four treatment
rooms, each equipped with a steam bath and shower, are complemented by a
yoga space and the resort's central pool, as well as a hidden 25-metre
lap pool.
Commencing with a full-body scrub using a blend of
Khmer herbs that exfoliate, stimulate and hydrate, aspara is a
therapeutic journey designed for women.
A clay wrap soothes and
energises, before a traditional Khmer mask is applied to tone the chest
with a rice compress on the stomach. A nourishing mini-facial completes
the treatment.
Strengthening, toning and balancing postures create harmoy in mind, body and spirit during personalised yoga sessions.
Deepen your awareness as you discover the energies of nature with a sunrise yoga session outdoors.
After exploring the temples, revitalise with a crystal salt soak and foot scrub before a relaxing leg massage.
Or
find peace with one of the spa's holistic therapies, which range from
Reiki to energy rebalancing, or a massage with a blind therapist at
Amansara's village house.
Events
From birthday
festivities to anniversary dinners, Amansara's unique atmosphere is
enhanced by local dancers or a blessing from a Buddhist monk.
