A luxurious and elegant hideaway, Phum Baitang is set on the southern end of Siem Reap, in Northwestern Cambodia. Owned by French fashion entrepreneur Roger Zannier, who holds the licences for Kenzo Kids and Junior Gaultier, the hotel has a strong local feel that echoes its immediate environment. Set within 20-acres of lush jungle, lemongrass, and paddy fields hidden in the Cambodian countryside, the hotel is just 20 minutes from the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Designed by the Paris architecture firm AW2, Phum Baitang’s 45 independent villas re-create the traditional houses that farmers live in. Step inside and you will be awed by its tasteful splurge in utmost simplicity. Each villa is dressed in fine cottons and crumpled silk, plush beds with antique carved headboards and handmade wooden furniture. Rooms are studded with pottery jars and lantern-style lighting while spacious bathrooms have rough stone sinks and deep egg-shaped baths.
There are two restaurants at the Phum Baitang, one of which is set in the original 100-year-old farmhouse and modelled after a local food market, while the other restaurant offers a fusion of international cuisine. Spend the day exploring the 12th-century Angkor ruins before returning to the staggeringly beautiful spa for ultimate relaxation. Run by a delightfully camp Filipino named Mariano Jr, it uses organic coconut milk and local moringa oil - 'the most expensive oil in the world'.

When to go Cambodia is hot all year round and the best time to visit is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. It starts to get wetter in May and the wettest months are September and October. It is still possible to visit during this time as rain usually falls as short sharp storms. November is a fantastic month to visit Cambodia as it is very green after the rainy season and the lakes and rivers are full of water.
