Description

More than a hotel, Sala Lodges offers an authentic experience to its guests. Carefully selected from the regions surrounding the town of Siem Reap, the houses have been dismantled and carefully restored on the plot of land situated at the gates of the temples of Angkor. This procedure has allowed the wood to be recuperated whilst still preserving the forests. In addition, it is a way of returning the luster to these buildings and to save a heritage from disappearing. Decorated subtly, with touches of local artisan work, each house possesses an individual identity thanks to its architecture and its colors. Behind its stark external appearance, a pure and refined interior is revealed.

In juxtaposition with the traditional houses, the communal buildings offer contemporary and uncluttered lines. The restaurant and bar situated at the entrance, the residents’ dining area and open-air lounge at the heart of the “village” and to conclude, the swimming pool shaded by frangipani trees are quintessential places to meet and talk.

From the best of Cambodian cuisine and Western classics, meals are served in the privacy of the terraces, in the very simplicity of the lounge and long table area or in the contemporary restaurant which is also open to the public.

Along the pathways of the lush gardens, guests are able to smell, gather and taste fruits, vegetables and aromatic plants from the region. According to the seasons, residents will have the opportunity to witness either a rice harvest or replanting of the paddies.

Oriented full west, the pool area beckons for relaxation following a day-long excursion, rich in emotion.

As a family, as lovers or with friends, everyone finds a place which fulfills their requirements for luxury, for intimacy as well as conviviality. The thoughtful staff knows how to make all this happen so that each and everyone’s stay is unforgettable.
