Raffles SIAM REAP


W


elcoming adventurers since 1932, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor is the grand


dame of Siam Reap combining sophisticated elegance with layers of colonial flavour. The main attraction is, of course, Angkor Wat and Raffles is perfectly situated to set off each morning by tuk- tuk to see temple after temple in this perfectly maintained site. Allow a minimum of two days to explore the site and make sure to go beyond the main attractions. Each temple is different!


Arriving back at your oasis exhausted from cultural absorption, the soothing classic elegance of Raffles’ facade greets you as you step back into a colonial foyer with views of the stunning outdoor pool area. Relax and revitalise in the spa where a range of traditional Khmer and modern therapies are offered before enjoying world-class dining in one of the many options including 1932, the hotel’s signature restaurant where guests can enjoy Royal Khmer cuisine.


Royal Sands KOH RONG


P


icture the finest white sand, so clean and pure it squeaks underfoot. Combine it with endless beaches, warm crystal-clear turquoise water fringed with palm trees. Top it all off with a stunning sunset and an endless horizon. And that’s the backdrop to The Royal Sands Koh Rong. Discreet white villas blend into the sands offering large, relaxed, open plan accommodation, multi-room family options, private pools and outdoor living. The resort has excellent dining options with the main restaurant offering stunning Asian and western food and buffet breakfasts. A casual bar for lunch and snacks, happy hour and a large pool area with a black infinity pool blending into the horizon. Activities are aplenty with everything on offer from sailing to stand-up paddle boarding, snorkelling and diving, walks and excursions around the island or simply relax on a sun lounger and enjoy doing absolutely nothing as you occasionally run your fingers through the sand because you can’t believe how fine it is! Spa facilities are a must and The Royal Sands offers a range of enticing packages. The spa sits along the banks of a small lake whilst massage beds recline over a glass-covered koi stream for the ultimate relaxation, a massage with an aquarium view. Private ferries shuttle guests easily between the island and the mainland with daily schedules aligned with flights in and out of the nearby international airport.
