Zannier Phum Baitang  

On the outskirts of Siem Reap, Phum Baitang is a luxury villa resort about 3 km from the city center and within a 15-minute drive of Angkor Wat and Pub Street — a family-friendly green hideaway next to a golf course.

The property is made up of 45 private villas designed like traditional Cambodian houses set among lemongrass plantations. Expect understated luxury, private-pool villas on some units, deep soaking bathtubs, rainfall showers, minibars and espresso makers — simple comforts with local soul.

Soak up sunset views from the 50m infinity pool, sip at the pool bar and Sunset Lounge, or unwind in the Temple SPA with seven treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and a yoga pavilion. There’s a fitness center, bicycles to rent, an outdoor pool, a kids’ playroom and a tour desk for Angkor excursions.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the resort, concierge services, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage. Roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free self-parking is onsite.

Two locally inspired restaurants — Bay Phsar and Hang Bay — serve Cambodian dishes made with organic herbs and vegetables from the resort gardens. Enjoy poolside drinks, a cigar & cocktail lounge, a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast each morning and limited-hours room service.
