## The property

Samaya is a traditional villa wrapped around a quiet garden pool. Every floor looks down onto the same courtyard: an outdoor pool edged in terracotta tile, bamboo and coconut palms, and poolside loungers and daybeds lit by lanterns after dark. Most rooms open onto a terrace with a view of the water. The hotel is run by a family: chef Leakhena runs the kitchen and her daughter Thida runs the front desk, which gives the hotel a warm, personal atmosphere.

## Rooms

Every room has air-conditioning and a ceiling fan, a private bathroom with a shower, a smart TV, a coffee maker, a fridge, a desk and a safe. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
