As the sun shines brighter this April, Cambodia prepares to welcome the Khmer New Year (Sankranta) from April 14th to 16th. This is a time of renewal, joy, and deep-rooted tradition where families gather to offer blessings, play traditional games, and enjoy festive water celebrations. During these three days, Siem Reap transforms into a vibrant hub of culture and excitement, with the “Angkor Sankranta” festivities bringing the ancient temples and city streets to life. Because this is a peak travel time, finding the ideal place to stay is essential for everyone traveling to the city.
At Stay Nature, we believe your holiday should be a bridge between modern luxury and ancient culture. We are ready to welcome you with open arms and a festive spirit, offering a sanctuary where nature meets tradition. Whether you are looking for the high-energy festivities of the city center or a quiet retreat to reflect and recharge after a day of celebration, our group offers distinct properties designed to ensure your Khmer New Year is filled with peace and authenticity.
Planning a trip to the historic city of Siem Reap is an exciting endeavor, but the most important decision is where you rest your head. We understand that every traveler is unique, which is why our properties are designed with a specific personality in mind.
