Amansara

Romantic standbys abound when looking for the proper place to woo that special someone. But why be so predictable when you can spend Valentine's Day in lovely Cambodia. Sure, it doesn't sound that luxurious, but the folks over at Aman Resorts have created a little haven near the entrance to the Angkor archaeological area. In what was once a royal guest house, Amansara was born. The facility was built by King Norodom Sihanouk in the 1960s and was recently refurbished into an super exclusive hotel. Only 24 suites comprise this modernist hideaway with stark bathrooms and private gardens.

When you are not soaking in the luxury of the hotel, you can learn about the Khmer dynasties that built the temple complexes that fill the Angkor Wat area. Small group tours and guides are included in your guest experience. What better place to pop the question or renew commitments that during a sunrise or sunset at the temples of Angkor. The new spa featuring local Cambodian treatments is ideal for relaxing after a strenuous day of hiking the temples. So jump off the beaten path of romance and venture to southeast Asia for a romantic walk through history.
