Zannier Hotels Phum Baitang

Peacefully sequestered in the Cambodian countryside outside Siem Reap, Zannier Hotels Phum Baitang delivers an authentic experience in a picturesque setting of fragrant meadows and sun-gilded rice paddies. Emulating a traditional rustic village, the property comprises 45 elegantly decorated villas raised on stilts, their interiors embellished with bamboo-woven walls and hand-picked antiques. The scent of lemongrass from the surrounding fields wafts throughout the resort, carried in on the gentle country breeze; these emerald-green fields shimmer beneath the pounding tropical sunshine, forming a stunning backdrop as you linger in the hotel’s extensive, 50-metre-long outdoor infinity pool. A particular highlight is a hundred-year-old farmhouse decked with rattan chairs that pays homage to Cambodia’s colonial roots, offering a tranquil setting where you can relax with a soothing cocktail or vintage liquor. Two onsite restaurants, meanwhile, showcase authentic Cambodian recipes, while the Spa Temple pays homage to Angkor’s astounding architecture, standing amid flourishing tropical gardens and offering holistic treatments inspired by ancient Khmer therapies. When you’re done relaxing and taking in the remarkable surrounds, you can hop on a bicycle and pedal to neighbouring villages, receive a spiritual water blessing from Buddhist monks, enjoy a sunset cruise on the glassy waters of Tonle Sap or visit the millennia-old megastructure of Angkor, the former seat of the powerful Khmer Empire and home to the extraordinary Hindu-Buddhist temple of Angkor Wat.
