Sabara Angkor Resort & Spa

With car-parky, split-level concrete wings, Sabara isn’t Angkor’s prettiest luxury hotel. But rooms are large, flooded with light and placed around a pool shaded by tropical trees. The best are the tennis-court-sized sabara (family suites), decked out in arty art-nouveau tiles, with private plunge pools and well worth a less-than-£50 upgrade. The location is plum – well away from the tuk-tuk and tout hassle of Siem Reap town, and just a 10-minute drive to the ruins themselves.
