Amansara
Resort
Address : Road to
Angkor, Siem Reap
The name Amansara
derives from the twinning of the word aman (Sanskrit for peace)
and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts who emerged
from the primordial churning of the oceans with the power to change
their form at will and to bestow luck on those they favoured).
The resort is located in Siem Reap, the cultural capital of Cambodia.
The enclave was once the guest villa of
King Norodom Sihanouk. It has been transformed into a 12-suite
retreat that provides an ideal base for exploring the temples
of Angkor and the sophisticated culture of the Khmer civilization.
Amansara has the inviting ambience of a gracious home and is set
in a private garden compound with mature, shade trees.

Suites : Amansara has 12 suites, similar in
design, featuring an open plan setting with finishes in terrazzo
and timber. Colours are muted and earthy. Entry is to a combined
sleeping and living area that contains a large writing desk and
a king-size bed.
Adjacent is a dressing area with hanging cupboards and drawers.
The lounge has a large sofa, and informal circular dining table
and chairs. Beyond, and leading down a few steps, is the bathroom
which opens onto a light-filled courtyard featuring a water garden
and cushioned banquette. The bathroom contains twin vanities,
makeup mirror, a large soaking tub and a separate shower and toilet.
A floor-to-ceiling glass partition separates the toilet from the
courtyard, letting in light and patio views. Each suite is air-conditioned,
with ceiling fans, telephone (twin lines for Internet access),
room safe and a CD music system.
Amansara Suite : The resort’s premier accommodation follows
a similar interior layout as the suites but with a generous courtyard. |
FOOD AND DINING
The Dining Room, near the swimming pool, is a focal point of the
property and unique in design. It is circular in shape with a
soaring seven-metre ceiling and an informal ambience for dining
or all day lounging. The menu offers both traditional Asian and
western cuisines and features the freshest of seasonal produce.
The Dining area also features a range of books, a large map of
Cambodia, and a walk-in wine cellar where guests may make their
selection.
Guests may also dine and snack poolside, or enjoy their in-room
complimentary mini-bar that features several local items.
FACILITIES
Library : The library provides a range of coffee-table books,
travel guides, novels, magazines, daily newspapers and complimentary
Internet access through an in-house laptop. Also on offer are
a range of audio CDs, board games and a comprehensive collection
of reference books on the Angkor temples and Khmer civilization.
Gallery : The gallery provides a variety of hand-woven silks,
lacquer-ware, jewellery, local handicrafts, textiles, souvenirs,
apparel and sundries.
Swimming pool : Most of Amansara’s suites are set around a central,
grassed courtyard. At one end of the lawn, adjacent to a shady
pergola, is a 17.5m swimming pool with sundeck. |
GETTING THERE
Cambodia lies at the heart of Indochina and is bordered by Thailand
in the west, Laos in the north, Vietnam in the east and the Gulf
of Thailand in the south. It is a country that, despite its relatively
small size and large, dominant neighbours, has managed to retain
its unique Khmer identity. Its cultural traditions predate those
of Thailand and, unlike Vietnam, which expresses a marked Chinese
influence, Cambodia’s cultural roots draw heavily from the Indian
sub-continent.
The airport at Siem Reap receives international flights. CR Airways
operates a twice weekly flight between Hong Kong and Siem Reap
and there are daily flights from Bangkok taking 45 minutes which
are operated by Bangkok Airways. From Singapore, Silk Air flies
thrice weekly. The flight takes approximately two hours and 10
minutes. The return flight takes a little longer as it travels
via Phnom Penh, the capital. International flights are also scheduled
to Laos and Vietnam. Domestic air travel is mostly to and from
Phnom Penh. However, there are flights frequently scheduled to
smaller Cambodian towns.
Amansara is a 15-minute drive from Siem Reap airport and complimentary
transfers are offered to guests on arrival and departure. |
