A UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason, the temples of Angkor act as Cambodia’s alluring calling card for many. Encompassing a vast viridian swathe of 400 square kilometres (150 square miles), these redolent ruins whisper of the ancient Khmer Empire, dating from the ninth to the 14th century.

Within the Angkor Archaeological Park, numerous temples and symbolic sites can be seen, including Ankor Wat itself, Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm, all of which are offered as tours and customised excursions by Amansara, as part of the hotel’s tailored guest experience. Several tours use the hotel’s own fleet of remorks (tuk tuks), each with a private driver and English-speaking guide, for an atmospheric entry point to exploring Siem Reap.

Highlights of Angkor

Angkor Wat

Timing is everything at the site’s main temple. Waking early to capture the atmosphere as the sun rises is Amansara’s preferred way to see this magnificent monument. A prompt 5am departure allows time to arrive by remork with the first morning light, providing time for guided insight, personal exploration and the chance to witness dawn with few others.

Bayon Temple

Bayon Temple is an architectural masterpiece located within the Angkor Thom complex inside the Archaeological Park. It was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by King Jayavarman VII, the renowned Khmer king. What sets Bayon apart are the gigantic stone faces carved into its towers, believed to represent Buddhist deity Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara or King Jayavarman VII himself.

Ta Prohm

Known as ‘the jungle temple’, Ta Prohm's sturdy stones stand entwined with the silk-cotton and strangler fig-tree roots of the encroaching forest. One of the most popular and photogenic temples in the Archaeological Park, it was once home to 615 apsara dancers, according to this temple’s carved records. Ta Prohm provides the rare opportunity to witness man’s attempt to tame nature, all set against the glowing rays of the sun.

Unravel Angkor's Javan Roots

Built by the Sailendra Dynasty in 824 CE on the Kedu Plain – the temple bridges the gap between Siem Reap’s most celebrated stay and Amanjiwo.
