“Siem Reap’s only resort hotel and wellness retreat, Navutu Dreams is the perfect escape for frazzled holidayers seeking detoxification alongside their day trips. Schedule ample time by the swimming pool or sign up for daily yoga classes at the on-site shala.”

Hotel review

Nestled down a quiet country lane just minutes from the bright lights of Siem Reap, Navutu is indeed a dream resort. Boasting extensive gardens, with footpaths that meander lazily through the property, the resort is a tranquil haven from the large crowds at nearby Angkor Wat. Single-story, Mediterranean-inspired bungalows offer ample privacy and many include living areas and baths big enough for two, while three swimming pools – a saltwater lounge pool, a freshwater sports pool and a lagoon – guarantee plenty of space to splash around. Navutu encourages guests to make use of its holistic approach to health, with daily yoga classes at the on-site shala, a vegetarian-friendly menu, and intensive wellness programs that sport names like ‘the 5-Day Burnout Program'.

Top 10 hotels, hostels and B&Bs near Angkor Wat, C

Cambodia meets Ibiza best describes this low-rise whitewashed resort at the end of a dirt track amid rice paddies. Don't let the drive here along a dusty road toward the outskirts of town dishearten you. Once you arrive you won't want to leave, especially after a free foot massage as you relax on a rooftop four-poster bed to watch the sunset.
