Amansara sits at Banteay Chas Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia, on the outskirts of the town. The resort describes itself as just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI) is served by a 60-minute drive, according to the resort's own directions. Manicured gardens, a hidden lap pool and a canopy of mature trees create the contemplative atmosphere the resort associates with its name, 'heavenly peace'.
The resort also operates a Khmer Village House, a traditional stilted abode set in a garden within the Angkor Wat World Heritage Site, overlooking the 10th-century royal reservoir of Srah Srang.
Amansara publishes its accommodation as suites. Stays of three nights or more include round-trip transfers from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport with personalised fast-track immigration on arrival.
The published inclusions also cover daily breakfast, a choice of lunch or dinner with non-alcoholic beverages, daily afternoon tea, daily excursions to the temples of Angkor with an English-speaking guide (temple pass excluded), complimentary transportation within Siem Reap town, and laundry service excluding dry cleaning.
Dining at Amansara is built around Khmer cooking and private settings. A chef-led Cambodian cooking class begins with an early market tour to Psah Leh market to select the day's produce, followed by a hands-on session.
A candle-lit private dinner pairs a Cambodian feast prepared by a personal chef with live Khmer music. Guests can also take a Khmer breakfast at the Khmer Village House after visiting Bayon and Ta Prohm.
The resort notes that its restaurants are open to Aman guests and non-residents, subject to availability. Reservations are handled by phone at +855 63 760 333 or by email at [email protected].
The Aman Spa is set beside a serene reflecting pond and has four treatment rooms, each with a steam bath and shower. Treatments use traditional Cambodian healing techniques and all-natural Aman Skincare products.
A dedicated yoga and movement studio and fitness centre support the wellness programme, and there are two swimming pools, including a 25-metre lap pool.
Wellness activities include forest bathing, walking meditation and Buddhist water blessings. The resort also offers a four-night Spiritual Angkor Journey focused on Khmer and Buddhist culture.
Amansara runs guided excursions into Angkor Archaeological Park. Its preferred way to see Angkor Wat is a 5am departure by remork to arrive with the first morning light, allowing guided insight and personal exploration before the site fills.
Other guided visits cover Bayon Temple, with its towers of carved stone faces, and Ta Prohm, known as the jungle temple, where the ruins stand entwined with silk-cotton and strangler fig roots. A guided trek explores the forests around the temples with a guide expert in regional wildlife, medicinal herbs and forest fruits.
Guests can also join a jungle temples cycling adventure on sandy tracks to reach the ancient ruins of Angkor, or take part in a private Buddhist water blessing at a local temple. A cultural tour traces Angkor's Javan roots with an Amansara cultural guide.
The published programme suits travellers who want the temples of Angkor as the centre of a stay, with guided excursions, early starts and cultural experiences built into the offer. Couples are served by private candle-lit dining and the spa's reflecting pond setting.
The suite inclusions, pools and the Khmer Village House cooking classes give families and small groups structured options, while the yoga studio, fitness centre and spa support guests who want a wellness component alongside sightseeing.
