Set in Siem Reap’s frenetic French Quarter and just moments away from the Siem Reap River, the Shinta Mani Angkor and Bensley Collection Pool Villas represents a refuge in the heart of the city, spread amongst luscious gardens that contain mellifluous water features and sparkling swimming pools. With its distinct aesthetic conceived by the acclaimed architects at Bensley Collection, the property prides itself not only on its unique style but also on its attentive service and philanthropic pursuits, with its not-for-profit initiative giving back to the local community. Spacious, light-filled accommodations evoke traditional Khmer architecture elevated with modern touches, while each of the sleekly decorated Villas features a private swimming pool and Bensley Butler service. Embrace the local culture and history while you dine; Kroya by Chef Chanrith showcases the sumptuous flavours of traditional Khmer cuisine, with interactive cooking classes providing insight into the secrets of Cambodia’s rich gastronomy. There are also several bars set poolside where you can sip on a hand-crafted cocktail, including the hotel’s signature Icy Green Ginger cocktail – a refreshing remedy for Siem Reap’s tropical climate. For a blissful experience, you can visit the Khmer Tonics Spa and Gym for a revitalizing wellness treatment, with options including hot stone body healing, traditional Khmer massages and meditation aromatherapy. While the extraordinary ancient ruins of Angkor Wat are just 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk, you can also choose from a selection of curated tours that include visits to some of the region’s lesser-known Hindu-Buddhist temples and exploring some of the traditional floating villages around the vast waters of Tonle Sap. A particular highlight is a trip to the Shinta Mani Foundation, which helps ambitious Cambodians start their own businesses and train for the future – many of these go on to become some of the smiling faces you will see around the hotel.
