Renowned as the ‘Pearl of Asia’, the city of Phnom Penh is an exciting mixture of tradition and modernity. It is located at the confluence of three rivers, making the rivers an inseparable part of the locals’ daily lives.
Inspired by the landscape of the river, Lifestyle Retreats decided to open a high-end collection of 18 private suites on the banks of Mekong River at the beginning of this year. The interior exudes a modern Southeast Asian design vibe. Simple and sleek lines are found in each of the 14 Courtyard Suites and four Riverfront Suites. Tastefully placed Cambodian artworks, fabrics and original art pieces enrich the spacious suite with an artful touch, while the plush sofa and cosy daybed add to the comfort level.
At the heart of the resort and located by the river lies a 30-metre pool with relaxing sun loungers that invite the guests to relax and linger. After basking in the sun, book a session at The Spa and experience the soothing touch of Cambodian aromatherapy treatments. Afterward, head to THEATO Restaurant with its international and Khmer specialties, such as the Wagyu Short-Rib Saraman curry or Flavours of Amok Trey, a steamed curried dish made of Mekong river lobster, grouper fillet and amok sauce. The Bale Phnom Penh is a perfect destination for an intimate time for two.
The Courtyard Suite starts from US$ 425/ night
The Riverfront Suite starts from US$ 555/night
