A DESTINATION EVERY WORLD TRAVELLER SHOULD EXPERIENCE
How close to Angkor do you want to stay? How about at the gates – in the former royal guesthouse of King Sihanouk? Within the walled gardens of the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk, you will find tranquillity. This former royal retreat – once the haunt of the likes of Charles de Gaulle, Jacqueline Kennedy and Peter O’Toole – now features elegant chalets gathered around an irregular shaped pool and cool, shaded lawns.
But if the inside is tempting, the outside is sensational. A few minutes beyond Amansara lies the incredible ruins of Angkor. Over 1000 Khmer temples, intricately carved towers, palaces and state buildings dating back through the Angkorian period to AD 802. A destination every world traveller should experience.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
