History & Story
It is the newest offering by owner/designer Bill Bensley, situated in the cultural heart of Siem Reap.
These 10 private villa compounds with personal swimming pools will allow guests to experience this lively town in a whole new level of comfort. Under the ancient canopy of Siem Reap’s palace trees, each walled compound will offer its residents total privacy in their own tropical garden.
Bill has designed these residences as he likes to live himself….being surrounded by lush gardens which are completely private. By way of monumental scale, he’s chosen to venerate Jaya varman VII(1125-1218), the most handsome king of the Khmer empire.
