Sala Lodges

Siem Reap lies just beyond the temples of Angkor Wat, a laid-back city of busy markets and riverside cafes. Accommodation options here are wide and varied. You’ll find everything from well-priced hotels that keep things simple to polished resort-style properties with big pools and quiet gardens. There are atmospheric heritage properties, small boutique stays for couples, and relaxed resorts that work well for families. Our pick of the best resorts in Siem Reap include eco-conscious escapes, a wellness haven and luxury properties that work for both couples and families.

For an eco-break

Templation

  • Bang in the centre of town, Shinta Mani Angkor & & Bensley Collection Pool Villas makes eco-minded travel feel fun. Expect Bill Bensley interiors, an iconic black and white pool, and two standout restaurants for lazy lunches or smarter Khmer-style dinners. Its foundation-led community work adds a real feel-good value to your stay.
  • Templation is the kind of place you retreat to after days spent walking around dusty temples. Set in leafy gardens, it runs on solar power with green roofs overhead. Rooms are calm and minimal, with huge soaking tubs and outdoor bathrooms. A spa and local cooking classes keep the vibe low-key and grounded.

For wellness

Navutu Dreams Resort and Wellness Retreat

  • Just outside the buzz of town, Navutu Dreams Resort and Wellness Retreat is where Siem Reap slows right down. Mediterranean-style bungalows are connected by garden paths, while the food leans towards vegetarian dishes. Days revolve around the three pools, daily yoga, spa time and structured multi-day wellness programmes.

For couples

Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor

  • The iconic Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor delivers romance with a slice of history. Rooms are Art-Deco style with four-poster beds, polished wood and deep roll-top baths, plus balconies looking out over the pool. Couples can spend afternoons in the gardens or spa, then dress up for cocktails at the Elephant Bar and classic Khmer or French dining.

For families

Sala Lodges

  • Sala Lodges is a great characterful spot for families. Traditional Khmer houses on stilts sit within tropical gardens, each with plenty of space and shady terraces. There’s a saltwater pool that kids will love, an easygoing restaurant for all ages, and babysitting services on hand when parents want a quiet evening.
  • Set among working rice fields, Phum Baitang gives families space to breathe. The wooden villas feel calm and private, and many have their own plunge pools. There’s a kids club, huge infinity pool, relaxed dining, bikes to borrow and loads of space to unwind after a day's temple hopping.

For tented luxury

The Beige

  • The Beige nails barefoot luxury without feeling remote. Safari-style canvas suites come with proper beds, airy bathrooms and private decks. Yoga on a garden platform, spa time and a wonderful infinity pool make days feel effortlessly relaxed, while the organic restaurant uses produce straight from its own farm.
