Stay - The Kamaya Villa

The Kamaya

The Kamaya was newly built in 2025 and combines the use of different kinds of wood to resemble the authentic Khmer building style. The roof follows a typical Khmer design and has two layers for a better flow of fresh air. The traditional wooden style is mixed with the French colonial interior style, which includes crème-colored interior walls with a natural brick structure and wooden and colorful ceramic tile floors. Tasteful lighting and unique decorations complete the interior.
