Located just 15 minutes away from Siem Reap International Airport and 20 minutes’ drive from the famed Angkor temples, Navutu Dreams Resort & Wellness Retreat (or commonly known as Navutu Dreams) is a ideal destination for all kinds of jet setters and globetrotters alike, be it a romantic couple’s getaway or the annual family holiday. As the only wellness retreat in the whole of Siem Reap, Navutu Dreams features a 18-meter Freshwater Sports Pool and two 120 square meter Lounge Pools (a Saltwater Lounge Pool and a child-friendly Lagoon Style Pool), truly a hidden gem spreading over a hectare of lush well manicured greenery that promises a legitimate and pure cultural experience in a modern yet comfortable setting.
Aside from that, the resort also organises a variety of tours such as to popular temples in and out of the city for guests to soak in the ancient Khmer culture, local farm tours where one can pick their own produce for an educationally fun in house cooking class and even a sunrise escapade for meditation and sound healing on top of a hill. One of the joys in Navutu Dreams has to be the amazing staff who are brilliantly trained and take much pride in their respective roles within the resort. The sincerity and warmth extends from the front desk staff to even the gardeners who goes around always with a friendly smile on their faces.
