KHMER IMMERSIONS

Guests at Cambodia’s all-suite Anantara Angkor Resort ( anantara.com) in Siem Reap hoping for a longer spa experience now have the chance to embark on a series of locally inspired wellness journeys. Lasting between four and six hours, these can be booked on their own or combined to create a personalized four- to seven-day itinerary. The lineup combines a diverse mix of pampering treatments with hands-on activities, ranging from incense stick–making workshops to lessons in creating herbal compresses and lotus origami. For instance, the Dhamma Vicaya experience incorporates a 60-minute massage using the seeds of the indigenous angkunh tree, followed by a mango body wrap, a walking meditation session, and an angkunh keychain–making class. Those in the mood for something more vigorous should opt for the Virya journey, which involves a two-hour cycle through the countryside.
