Phum Baitang

Siem Reap’s latest resort, with 45 villas on stilts amid lemongrass fields and rice paddies, puts a serene, five-star spin on the area’s traditional wooden farmhouses: each suite has an indoor and an outdoor sitting area, a deep soaking tub, and panoramic jungle views. Continue your cultural immersion with a coconut-milk massage at the seven-room spa, modeled on the area’s UNESCO-designated temples, or a crash course on Khmer cuisine at restaurant Bay Phsar.
