The splendid temple-esque exterior gives way to exotic spaces, the vibrant artwork contrasting beautifully with the deep wood of the walls. Enter into this peaceful haven across a bridge flanked by tropical flowers. Stay in a room or suite serenely decorated with local Indonesian teak and rich, textural fabrics. Vibrant yet refined they are relaxed and elegant with generous bathrooms and a free-standing bathtub adding an extra touch of indulgence. All rooms have a private balcony, where you can enjoy a meal, lounge with a book or look over the kaleidoscopic butterflies dancing among the lush foliage.

The two restaurants offer enough difference to entice your palate throughout your stay. The Ember restaurant offers a seductive mix of traditional Khmer cuisine with a touch of French heritage, while the Circle restaurant has a little more zest, taking the Khmer cuisine and dressing it up with contemporary flair. After your authentic gastronomic experience head to Martini Bar for a zingy nightcap overlooking the tropical gardens.
