Maisons Wat Kor

Rustic relaxation ▪️ Battambang
Cambodia
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

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

“Good value, peaceful, personal, and set in beautiful countryside.”

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

Temple in Battambang

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.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
