The more I stay in Cambodia, the more I fall in love with its design culture especially I refer to the interior design in Cambodia. Located between Thailand and Vietnam, this country has opened up since the arrival of the peace keeping called UNTAC. In 2017, I witness the growth of the real estate development around Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville (the two towns I visited). One can rest assure to be amazed by the talented local interior designer as well as foreign design firm which can be witnessed throughout the boutique hotel, luxury 5 star hotel and guest houses.
In light of these developments, I am pleased to share with you the following 12 best interior design that can be seen in Cambodia.
Song Saa island’s interior design
Song saa is a name given to two islands located at 35 minutes boat ride from the port of Sihanouk Ville. The bigger island is called “bong” and the smaller one is considered as “own”. Together, it is called Song Saa or “couple” or “sweethearts”. The resort located in the two islands were the brain child of Rory and Melita from Australia. They have bought the islands from the local village and have since transformed into a great resort second to none. The interior design and exterior design of the islands are just amazing – check them here.
As of today i.e. 11 August 2018, the Song Saa private island rates is 890$ per night. Not bed for such a unique experience. Highly recommended for newly or retired couple.
De Castle Royal
This condominium is located in a prime location of Phnom Penh called Beong Keng Kang 1. This is where you will find most high class restaurant for tourists and elite Cambodian. The décor and design of this Condominium is very modern. You can also swim and exercise in their gym too, by the way.
Xihu hotel in sihanoukville
Xihu resort hotel was a talk in town sometime in 2018. The reason was that it was probably the first modern skyscraper after the 7 storey (independent hotel). During my visit to this coastal town back in 2017, Xihu casino and resort was not fully operational yet (i recall vaguely) and now, it is in full swing. Xi Hu is a very luxurious five-star resort with unique interior design. Oh indeed, this 5 stars hotel also has several nice Chinese restaurants. Let’s take a look at how they do, decor-wise:
Heritage Suites Hotel Siem Reap
Oh well, it is not easy to find traditional cambodia house decor because khmer people are busy to make a living in their daily life. Instead, we can be inspired the tradtional decor by visiting the most luxury boutique resort in Siem Reap: the Heritage Suites Hotel.
There are definitely more interesting khmer architecture outthere that we do not know about.
