Located alongside Cambodia’s Siem Reap River and surrounded by the Angkor World Heritage sites, Jaya House River Park is a 36-room boutique hotel that offers luxurious amenities and services. In addition to two swimming pools, one which features the world’s first silver chrome tiles, the property is Cambodia’s first plastic-free hotel and has partnered with Coola Products to address the issue of plastic waste.

The hotel is also home to Riverpark Spa, which offers a full range of relaxing services that utilize local ingredients for a stimulating and aromatic experience. We chatted with Christian De Boer, Managing Director of Jaya House River Park Siem Reap, who shares treatments to try, insider spa tips, and more:

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests adore the fact that a one-hour spa treatment per day is included in their stay and that we use only local ingredients. Combined with the fact that we have two pools for only 36 rooms/suites, it results in some rather relaxed guests.

Key Features: Designed to promote balance and well-being for the mind, body, and spirit, the spa offers a full range of services including massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures. In addition to making its own shampoo, body lotion, and scrub, the spa offers many treatments using the ancient Khmer art of healing, which involves applying gentle finger pressure to the body to reduce tension in tired muscles and to stimulate general well-being. 

Bonus: Guests are served a complimentary glass of champagne in the relaxation lounge, and every guest receives one complimentary spa treatment daily.

Snacks Served: We serve six homemade teas, ranging from Moringa and lemongrass to freshly grown ginger, plus some other healthy snacks like fresh vegetable spring rolls.

Insider Tip: We suggest that guests book their treatments at the same time they book their room/suite in order to avoid disappointment! I also would suggest the Herbal Hot Compress, since it’s the most relaxing treatment I have ever encountered.

Splurge Treatment/Insider Favorite: The Herbal Hot Compress–it’s definitely my favorite. This magical relaxation treatment uses a hot compress with aroma therapies technique to heal minor aches and pains, muscle stiffness, and release stress. Muscles are stimulated by massage before the heat is absorbed through the application of an herbal ball. Circulation is increased, relieving ailments.

Unique Treatment: The Khmer Coffee Scrub! It uses fragrant blends of coffee as it enriches your entire body. This beauty treatment is comprised of dry body brushing, Cambodian coffee beans, soothing body cream, and a relaxing head massage to create a stimulating and aromatic experience. The coffee is actually used locally and the perfect way to soothe the skin.

Featured Products: The spa features its own shampoo, body lotion, and scrub. We use our very own and locally-made products, ensuring only the freshest ingredients like Moringo from our very own trees.
