A cultural evening can mean a lot of logistics: dinner reservation, show tickets, a ride in each direction. At Angkor Village Hotel the main pieces sit together, which is why dining and a performance feel like a natural pair.
This page explains what each venue offers, how an evening can flow, and which details to confirm with the hotel.
Aaraama: traditional Khmer cuisine by the water
Aaraama is the hotel's main restaurant, serving traditional Khmer cuisine in a waterside al fresco setting. Chef Touch Savon prepares the food with locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques, and the restaurant highlights rare recipes of the kingdom.
For travellers who want to taste Khmer cooking beyond the usual dishes, rare recipes are a good reason to book a table here. Menus and prices change, so ask the hotel for the current menu.
Breakfast is served daily from 6:00 am to 10:00 am at Aaraama Restaurant, as listed in October 2026, so confirm before you travel.
A waterside table works well for a relaxed pace: the setting is al fresco, the cooking is traditional and the ingredients are locally sourced. Travellers who like to understand what they eat can ask the team about the rare recipes on the day.
Kenary Lounge Bar
The Kenary Lounge Bar serves craft cocktails. It is a natural stop before dinner or after a performance, within the same grounds as your room. Opening hours are not published in the facts we hold, so confirm them at reception.
Apsara Theatre and traditional Khmer dance
Apsara Theatre is described as Siem Reap's oldest theatre since 1997. It stages traditional Khmer dance, and the performance gives guests a first-hand introduction to the dance tradition connected with the Angkor region.
The facts we hold list no show days, start times or ticket prices. Confirm those on the hotel's pages, and ask the Experience Desk, which helps organise every detail of a stay in Siem Reap, about timing and any dinner arrangements.
Pairing the dance with dinner on the same grounds means one evening, one address and no late ride across town. After the performance, the Kenary Lounge Bar is close by for a final drink.
Spa and wellness
The spa offers traditional Khmer treatments and massages. The menu includes:
Spa treatments listed
- Traditional Khmer Massage
- Aromatherapy Massage
- Herbal Compress Massage
- Jasmine Rice Scrub

The hotel also lists a fitness facility and an outdoor swimming pool set among the gardens. Treatment prices and durations are on the hotel's page, so confirm before you travel.
