Families
Siem Reap has its share of high-end hotels, but few feel as rooted in place as this boutique hotel. It’s an elevated Khmer farming village: rice paddies, tropical gardens, luxurious villas and a glorious pool.
Set just 15 minutes outside of town, Zannier Phum Baitang has been beautifully designed as a “green village”. Its architecture draws on traditional stilted houses with plenty of space, shade and privacy. It’s rustic yet refined.
Gently unwind here between visits to the mighty Angkor Wat temple complex nearby.
Ideal for couples, families and design lovers seeking a strong sense of Cambodian character while also slowing down in complete comfort.
The Angkor Wat temples lie just over a 15-minute drive away, making this an easy place to return to between visits: whether that’s for an afternoon swim, time on your terrace overlooking the paddies, or a relaxing treatment at the spa, which draws on Khmer wellness traditions.
Dining is another highlight. Bay Phsar leans into local flavours using produce from the hotel’s own gardens, while Hang Bay offers fine dining and a more international menu. The pool bar is perfect for lighter lunches, and you can gravitate to the Sunset Lounge come evening.
The Rooms
There are 45 stilted villas, each with a generous terrace, and many with private pools.
Built from locally sourced, untreated wood just like Khmer farmhouses, with added thoughtful details like hand-picked antiques and freestanding baths.
They’re spacious, with open-plan living that extends outdoors, looking out over rice paddies and bright green gardens.
