Eleven rural Khmer stilt houses reassembled into an architectural village among tropical gardens.

Rescued mid-century timber houses preserved through traditional Cambodian carpentry techniques.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
These houses are no reproductions — they’re authentic handmade houses, some fifty years old or more, transported from all across the Cambodian countryside and reassembled here.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in residential Salakomreuk village, the property is a quick tuk-tuk ride from the Siem Reap riverfront and bustling night markets.
The rooms
Individually styled mid-century timber homes feature high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, private balconies, and open rainfall showers.
The saltwater pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A black-tile saltwater pool stretches between palms and sun loungers, looking out over the garden lawn.
The spa
The spa occupies a preserved wooden house, offering signature Khmer massages and foot reflexology with local botanicals.
Ma Om Restaurant
The restaurant serves contemporary Khmer cuisine, including traditional fish amok steamed in banana leaves.
At the table
Open-sided pavilions and a poolside lounge shaded by frangipani trees provide relaxed spots for drinks over the lawn.
How it began
Eleven rural Khmer houses dating from the 1950s to 1980s were carefully dismantled across Cambodia and reconstructed on-site by traditional artisans.
