A new addition in 2013, HanumanAlaya Villa compliments the original HanumanAlaya Boutique Residence. With just nine rooms, the Villa is an intimate boutique escape from the bustle of downtown Siem Reap, located with a view across to the Siem Reap River.

HanumanAlaya Villa's rooms are all finished in wood trim and the signature combination of traditional Khmer design and sophisticated international amenities. As well as beautiful decoration in the form of hand-carved wooden furnishings and traditional Khmer silk, modern touches are clearly visible with flat-screen televisions and contemporary bathrooms throughout.

Beyond the rooms, the Villa includes its own secluded swimming pool, tucked away from public view. There is also a small bar-restaurant around the pool, where the included breakfast can be enjoyed each morning before exploring the temples. A wide variety of drinks is available and a small menu of light bites and snacks.

Around the corner in the Villa's sister property, HanumanAlaya Boutique Residence, is the Reahoo Restaurant with a full menu of Khmer classics and international delights.

A range of massages are available at the new Villa thanks to the sophisticated Sita Spa at HanumanAlaya Boutique Residence. These can be enjoyed in the privacy of your own room or in small pavilions next to the swimming pool.

The new HanumanAlaya Villa is an atmospheric place to stay in Siem Reap for those wanting a relaxed and peaceful base after a day exploring the temples. Room rates are great value for the impeccable new facilities and prices are about 25% lower than the original HanumanAlaya Boutique Residence. However, this does not reflect a lower room standard, just the fact that the HanumanAlaya Villa does not have a full-service restaurant or full-service spa on site.
