Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Location
Siem Reap
The resort sits on Vithei Charles de Gaulle in Siem Reap, in landscaped gardens about ten minutes from Angkor Wat and a fifteen-minute walk from the centre of town. There is no beach — this is the full-facility golf-and-spa base among the Siem Reap luxury hotels, a little further out than the in-town options.
Transfer
A Siem Reap transfer
Fly into the new Siem Reap–Angkor (SAI) airport, about 45 minutes by road. Angkor is around ten minutes away and the town centre a fifteen-minute walk.
Villas
238 rooms & suites
238 rooms and suites, including 23 suites and the premier Opera Suite, in French and Khmer design with polished wood floors — from Superior Rooms through balconied Luxury Rooms and Club Millésime rooms to the Opera Suite.
Best For
Who it suits
Families and golfers who want full resort facilities near Angkor — a championship course, a swim-up pool and big event spaces — and groups drawn to the larger, more conventional of the Siem Reap hotels.
Board Basis
B&B
Booked on bed and breakfast. Royal Court, Mouhot's Dream, the swim-up bar and a lounge bar cover Cambodian and French cooking, poolside drinks and cocktails across the resort.
About the Resort
The golf-and-family Angkor base
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra is the full-facility golf-and-spa base for Angkor — a large French-colonial-style resort in landscaped gardens, about ten minutes from Angkor Wat and a fifteen-minute walk from the centre of Siem Reap. Its 238 rooms and suites blend French and Khmer design, with polished wood floors and balconies in the Luxury Rooms, a Club Millésime lounge and the premier Opera Suite. The differentiator is the 18-hole Phokeethra Country Club, a championship course on the doorstep, and a big outdoor pool with a swim-up bar anchors the gardens. So Spa runs Khmer massages, herbal scrubs, mud wraps and rice-body polishes; Royal Court serves Cambodian cooking and Mouhot's Dream the French; and the resort carries some of the country's largest event spaces, for up to six hundred. It is bigger and more conventional than the in-town design hotels, and the walk to town is a little further — but for golf, families and full resort facilities near the temples, this is the Siem Reap choice.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”
