- Good to know: Compare four things: the privacy of the pool, dining at the villa, the quiet around you and the setting. Each hotel's page holds the current details.
- Next step: Use the check-price slots below, enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com and read the cancellation terms before you click.
Two travellers choosing a villa usually want the same three things: a pool no one else uses, a setting that feels special and the freedom to dine at the villa when the mood suits. Siem Reap offers several ways to get them, from stilted villas in the gardens to a villa in the heritage quarter.
This page gives one pick per couple profile, then the criteria that separate one villa from another and the steps to book with confidence. Facts come from the hotels' own pages, and ratings and rounded review counts come from the directory.
The verdict by couple profile
Secluded: Zannier Phum Baitang
Zannier Phum Baitang is rated 4.9 from more than 600 reviews and sits on Neelka Way on the outskirts of Siem Reap. Its destination page says the resort is approximately 20 minutes from the Angkor Wat temple complex. The Pool Villas are one-bedroom villas on stilts, each with a 20 sqm plunge pool, and the gardens have sun loungers and a thatched-roof sala with day beds and a dining table.
Garden setting: Zannier again, or Amansara
Zannier is set in 20 acres, its pool is surrounded by tropical gardens and its restaurant Bay Phsar cooks with ingredients from the resort's organic gardens. Amansara offers a different garden feel: its suites open onto garden courtyards, and thirteen of its 24 suites include a private plunge pool. Amansara sits between the city and the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Close to town: Shinta Mani Angkor
Shinta Mani Angkor is rated 4.8 from more than 700 reviews and is set in the Royal District, a short walk from downtown. Its ten Bensley Pool Villas are duplexes with a private nine-meter pool, a rooftop sky lounge and a dedicated Bensley Butler.
Heritage: Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor
Raffles is rated 4.7 from more than 700 reviews and stands in the Old French Quarter. The ROYAL Villa is situated separately from the main building, and every stay includes a personal butler. The hotel describes its style as 1930s French Art Deco.

The criteria that matter for two
Four things to compare
- Privacy of the pool: compare a plunge pool inside your own garden with a larger private pool; the sizes differ between hotels and the details sit on each page
- In-villa dining: Zannier states that Terrace Villa terraces have a large sofa and a table for alfresco dinners, and Raffles lists in-room dining
- Quiet: stilted villas on the outskirts and courtyard suites near the park suit light sleepers, while a villa near town keeps restaurants a short ride away
- Setting: gardens, a rooftop lounge or a heritage building each give a different mood
Amansara also states that it can arrange picnics or private dinners amid the temples, which suits couples who want a memorable evening away from the villa.
