Traveling through Siem Reap often means long days exploring ancient temples and vibrant markets. After all that adventure, an authentic massage can be just what the doctor ordered. This particular spa experience, offered through Trippest Travel, promises a luxurious, peaceful escape in a quiet garden setting right in the heart of Siem Reap. While we haven’t personally tried it, reviews and detailed descriptions suggest it’s an option worth considering for those seeking genuine relaxation.
What immediately catches the eye is the affordable price point—just $5 per person for the reservation. Then there’s the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, which cuts out the usual hassle of finding a spa in a busy city. Finally, the choice between a traditional Khmer massage or aromatherapy offers some customization, allowing you to tailor your unwind session to your preferences.
One possible downside? The spas and massage fees are not included in the base price, so you’ll need to budget extra for your chosen treatment. But considering the reviews and what’s included, that extra spend is often viewed as a good value rather than an inconvenience.
This experience will suit travelers who value ease and authenticity—whether you’re looking for a mid-day break from sightseeing or a relaxing way to wind down after exploring Angkor Wat.

One of the standout features is free hotel pickup, available within central Siem Reap. Expect to be collected about 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. The spa is situated in a serene garden setting in the city center, offering a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustling streets. The quick, reliable transfer minimizes stress, so you arrive relaxed and ready for your treatment.
The Treatment Environment
Expect a calming environment—likely a quiet garden with a soothing ambiance, according to reviews. The staff is described as friendly and attentive, welcoming guests warmly upon arrival. The setting is designed to promote relaxation, with soft lighting and a tranquil vibe that makes it easy to unwind.
The Massage Options
You have two choices: the traditional Khmer massage or aromatherapy. The Khmer massage is a deeper, oil-free treatment focusing on releasing muscle tension, stimulating circulation, and stretching connective tissue. The massage is described as a full-body experience that targets deeper muscle layers, ideal for releasing energy blockages and easing soreness from physical activity or long days of sightseeing.
The aromatherapy upgrade costs extra on-site but is available for those wanting a more fragrant, soothing experience. It typically involves aromatic oils and gentle techniques, perfect for travelers seeking a calming, sensory experience. The 60-minute treatment costs around $12.50, with longer durations up to 120 minutes costing proportionally more.
Duration and Pricing
The treatments last about 1.5 hours, which is a good length to unwind without feeling rushed. The base reservation fee is just $5, but you’ll pay the treatment fee separately. For example, a 90-minute Khmer massage costs $16, while a 120-minute aromatherapy session is $22.50. The value here is notable—an authentic, professional massage at a modest additional cost compared to standalone spa prices in other parts of Southeast Asia.
What Past Guests Say

Additional Notes
While the price structure may seem minimal, it’s important to remember that the treatments are not included in the initial booking fee. This setup allows flexibility but requires planning to budget for your chosen treatment. It’s also worth noting that the experience is private, meaning your group will enjoy a dedicated session without sharing space with others.
