The essentials in 30 seconds
- Verdict: Yes when the property is small enough. Choose a boutique luxury hotel whose room count matches your party, approach it directly, and agree dates, inclusions and cancellation in a written exclusive-use contract. Amansara (24 suites), Navutu Dreams (28 rooms and suites) and Viroth's Hotel (35 guestrooms) are natural starting points.
- Best for: Organisers of a wedding, reunion or private retreat who want the whole property for their party.
- Good to know: Exclusive use is arranged with each hotel, and the buy-out price comes from the hotel's own quote. Room counts and policies are as listed in October 2026, so confirm before you travel.
- Next step: Match your headcount to a room count, check the standard rate for your dates on Agoda and Booking.com, then send one enquiry to two or three hotels.
Renting an entire hotel sounds like a grand gesture, and in Siem Reap it can be a practical one. Small luxury properties have a few dozen rooms, so a family reunion, a wedding party or a private retreat can fill most of the keys. The result is a hotel that feels like your own house, with the staff, pool and restaurant working around your plans.
This page shows which properties are small enough, how to approach them and what the agreement should cover. It sits under group bookings and buy-outs, which explains the general booking order, and under the hub on groups and celebrations.
Why room count decides everything
A buy-out works when your party fills most of the rooms. If you fill a quarter of a large hotel, a room block is the better fit. If you fill most of a boutique property, exclusive use gives privacy and a single point of contact.
The directory lists these small properties, each with the room count stated on its own page.
Boutique properties by size
- Amansara: 24 suites, with suites opening onto garden courtyards and thirteen with a private plunge pool.
- Navutu Dreams: 28 rooms and suites in more than one hectare of tropical gardens.
- Viroth's Hotel: 35 guestrooms, made of 31 Deluxe rooms and 4 Suites.
- Jaya House River Park: 36 rooms, each with a balcony or direct garden and pool access.
- Angkor Village Hotel: 43 rooms according to the hotel, in Khmer wooden bungalows around lotus ponds.
- Zannier Phum Baitang: 45 stilted villas in 20 acres.
Larger properties offer room blocks rather than whole-hotel rental. See the group bookings page for those.
Four properties, four moods
Amansara: private and quiet
Amansara describes a property that was once a residence for guests of King Sihanouk, with 1960s New Khmer architecture. Its Two Bedroom Pool Suite measures 255 square metres with two king bedrooms, a private pool and a dining terrace, which helps a family party share a space. The hotel can arrange picnics or private dinners amid the temples.
Navutu Dreams: wellness and gardens
Navutu Dreams describes itself as a family-owned wellness resort with two yoga shalas and yoga classes twice daily, according to the resort. It has three outdoor pools and an open air restaurant, Niam Niam, serving Khmer and Italian favourites with vegan and vegetarian menus. It suits a group that wants a slow, restful stay.
Viroth's Hotel: design and a calm pool
Viroth's Hotel has a 1950s-inspired design, a 20 m salt water pool and a spa that overlooks a pond and vertical gardens. Dining is offered in an air-conditioned dining room, an open-air restaurant or by the pool. It suits a party that enjoys a stylish base in the centre of Siem Reap.
Jaya House River Park: riverside and tours
Jaya House River Park sits alongside the Siem Reap River with two swimming pools and a restaurant, Trorkuon, serving Khmer cuisine and classic Western meals. The hotel offers one-day, two-day and three-day tours, which give a group a ready-made programme.

How to approach the hotel
Write directly, with the details a reservations team needs to answer in one reply.
Include in your first message
- Arrival and departure dates, and any flexibility.
- Party size, including children and any guests who need step-free access.
- The occasion, such as a wedding blessing, a reunion dinner or a private retreat.
- The services you hope for, such as private dinners, tours, yoga or spa time.
- A request for the nightly buy-out rate, minimum stay, deposit and cancellation terms.
In parallel, enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com for the standard room rate. That figure lets you compare the hotel's buy-out quote with the sum of the rooms booked one by one.
How a buy-out price is built
No published buy-out prices appear in the sources for these properties, so the quote from the hotel is the only reliable figure. The hotel typically builds it from a few elements that you can ask about one by one.
Ask the hotel about
- Season: the same dates cost different amounts in different months.
- Nights: minimum stay and the number of nights you want.
- Inclusions: breakfast, transfers, activities, private dinners.
- Staff and event services: extra team members, decoration, music.
- Deposit, payment schedule and cancellation terms.
A simple rule helps: if your party fills most of the keys, a buy-out usually compares well with separate rooms, and it gives you privacy on top. If your party fills less than half, a room block at the same hotel may be the better fit.

How a buy-out price is built
The sources for these properties hold no published buy-out price or minimum stay, so the hotel's written quote is the only reliable figure. Ask for the nightly rate by season, the minimum number of nights, what the price includes (breakfast, transfers, activities, private dinners), the extra staff and event services, the deposit, the payment schedule and the cancellation terms. Then compare the quote with the standard room rate shown on Agoda and Booking.com for your dates, multiplied by the number of rooms. When your party fills most of the keys, a buy-out usually compares well with separate rooms and adds privacy. Confirm every term on the hotel's page and in writing before you travel.

Among the properties in our directory, Amansara lists 24 suites, followed by Navutu Dreams with 28 rooms and suites.
