The rooms
Polished timber lines the bedrooms, and windows look out directly over lotus ponds and tropical gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Bright red umbrellas and wooden loungers ring the curved pool, shaded by dense tropical palms.
The spa
Therapists practice traditional Cambodian massage, and curved timber loungers in the sunlit relaxation room face the gardens.
The gym
Treadmills and free weights stand before floor-to-ceiling windows looking straight into the dense garden foliage.
Aaraama Restaurant
The open-air timber pavilion stands over the pond. Diners share tapas-style Cambodian plates beneath high wooden rafters.
How it began
Architect Vattho Tep fled Cambodia as a child, studied in Paris, and returned in 1991 to build the property.
