Best For

Visiting the iconic Angkor Wat

the Low Down

The Balé Phnom Penh is a perfect example of the union between the stunning local Mekong Delta landscape and the PassionForLife philosophy of the resort’s parent company, Lifestyle Retreats. The result is a hotel harmony created by designing an exquisite resort that is run with skill and dedication by its own staff ‘Family’, and that blends with and supports the local environment and people. The whole concept offers you a memorable experience of truly holistic new luxury. The centrepiece facility is the dazzling 30-metre riverside pool where you can relax, enjoy food and drinks, and decide where you want to have dinner: a candlelight dinner under the palm trees, in your private suite, or in the elegant Theato restaurant. Although there is no spa on site, there’s a well-equipped gym, a library with books and magazines, and a small meeting room.
