Maison Polanka is petite boutique retreat oozing peace and privacy, providing a delightfully relaxing base for explorations of Angkor. Dotted through a hidden garden estate, two tastefully restored traditional Khmer villas feature just six colourful suites. Each features an eclectic blend of antiques, native hardwoods and art deco furniture, with wide wooden verandahs overlooking the grounds. Hand picked paintings and photographs from the owner’s private collection line the walls.
As you wake to the chanting of monks from a neighbouring Buddhist monastery, let barefoot days unfurl at Maison Polanka’s pool, surrounded by tropical greenery and a spacious wooden deck. The hotel's striking spa is also well worth a visit, and has employed dried, interlaced palm leaves in its construction. Set in the tranquil orchards surrounding the property, traditional Khmer massage is the speciality here.
