Sala Lodges

Smitten with the charm of this architecture during their Cambodian peregrinations, the founders of Sala Lodges have reunited eleven houses dating from 1956 to 1985 in order to create a unique hotel and village. Frequently destined to disappear, the houses have consequently been preserved and benefit from a new lease of life. Amidst a dense jungle undergrowth sprout these unique and culturally correct wooden buildings on stilts. As a family, lovers or with friends, everyone finds a place which fulfils their requirements for luxury and intimacy. The thoughtful staff at Sala Lodges know how to make all this happen so that each and everyone’s stay is unforgettable and unique.
