Maisons Wat Kor
Battambang
Travel down sleepy roads and through local farmland to find yourself at Maisons Wat Kor for a charming yet unassuming break from urban life. A boutique hotel in a traditional Khmer village, this is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the Cambodian countryside. The handful of rooms are built in houses of varying styles that reflect local culture. They’re spacious and beautifully presented, with local art and artefacts adding a homely touch. Although simply decorated, they have all the contemporary fixtures you’d hope for.
The swimming pool is a focal point of the resort, offering a tropical oasis to escape to with attentive staff on hand. Maisons Wat Kor is full of character, and makes you feel grounded - a great place to stay to get to know Cambodia’s rural side.

Why we love it
Discover what to expect from staying at Maisons Wat Kor
Local community
Being out in the countryside and seeing local life first hand is humbling. While the cities of Cambodia are packed with excitement, history and adventure, exploring further afield adds another element to your Cambodian discovery. Getting to know the locals who live here, and being welcomed by a small community, helps you understand their history and culture in a way you couldn’t from reading a book.
Out and about
Wat Kor’s beautiful countryside is excellent for walks, cycling and kayaking, and a complimentary tuk tuk is available for trips into central Battambang. It’s possible that the hotel's charm and characteristics may make you feel so cosy and homely you won’t want to leave, but it will be worth it when you do. The local area is ideal for exploring local life and surrounding temples.
Perfect for Families
You may be looking to add another element to your family trip; something to keep the kids interested and active. Maison Wat Kor offers flexible family accommodation with interconnecting room options, and a lesson in Cambodian culture at the same time. Stay in the authentically built houses, teach the kids about the history and culture that surrounds them, and head out into the countryside to cycle or have a race in the kayaks! A fun way to get back to nature.
