The women behind our kitchen!
Chef Chun has been at Maison Polanka since our opening in 2012. Before that, she had been the family cook of dear friends at the École française d’Extrême-Orient in Siem Reap.
Chun has an extraordinary instinct for food. Once, I described to her the taste of a Cambodian fondue that my mother used to cook and whose recipe had been lost. From that memory alone and a list of ingredients, she recreated it until it tasted exactly right - and she achieved it in 2 trials only 😮
That is very much how we work together — exchanging ideas, tasting, adjusting, sometimes rediscovering. And always having fun along the way.
Chun brings an incredible energy and joy to the kitchen and the team.
Heang joined us eight years ago. Originally from Ratanakiri, she trained at EGBOK, an NGO-supported hospitality school. Thoughtful, curious and beautifully educated, she speaks and writes excellent English and has become an essential part of the team.
Sophea arrived around the same time. Quieter and wonderfully discreet, over the years she has found her place — and, importantly, learned that sometimes it is perfectly all right to say no.
Three very different women.
Three personalities.
One kitchen they have made their own.
And a great deal of Maison Polanka's story has been cooked there. ❤️

Some gardens are admired.
Ours is lived.
Not only by our guests,
but by butterflies drifting from flower to flower, orchids finding their place on old palm trunks, birds nesting high in the canopy, and tropical plants quietly reaching towards the light.

Life unfolds gently, season after season, inviting us to slow down and notice the beauty in the smallest moments.

Perhaps that's the greatest luxury of all.

Every house at Maison Polanka has its own character.
The Maison has watched over this property for decades.
The Khmer House began its life in a nearby village before finding a new home here 20 years ago.
The Garden Cottage, the newest addition, was designed to settle naturally into the orchard, respecting the spirit of the estate rather than changing it.
Different stories. One place.

By night, the garden changes rhythm.
The water becomes still, the trees hold the last warmth of the day, and the lights slowly disappear into the foliage.
In the middle of Siem Reap, there is still a place where evenings remain quiet.

Before Maison Polanka was a hotel, it was an orchard.
Long before there were guests, there were mangoes ripening in the sun, coconut palms swaying above the houses, areca nut trees, jackfruit and star fruit growing around a Khmer family home.
The original houses have always stood here.
When we created Maison Polanka, we didn't clear the land to make a garden. We chose to preserve what already existed. The orchard gradually evolved into the lush tropical sanctuary it is today, while the Garden Cottage and the spa were added years later, with the same respect for the spirit of the place.
Today, every walk beneath these trees is a walk through the history of this land.
Some of the trees that shaded this family home still shade our guests today.

As the heat softens at dusk, life slowly returns to the Sala - conversations float over dinner while the sounds of the garden blend with chil bossa nova in the background.

At Maison Polanka, evenings are meant to be unhurried.

Travel is not always about movement.
Sometimes, the most memorable moments are the still ones.
A quiet tea on the terrace after Angkor, the sound of the garden at the end of the afternoon, the soft warmth of the air before evening falls.
At Maison Polanka, we like to think that Cambodia is also discovered this way.

Beyond the heat and the temples, there is also the quiet pleasure of returning home.
A slow afternoon at Maison Polanka invites you to settle into the gentle rhythm of Cambodia — filtered light, high wooden ceilings, cool air, and time that seems to stretch differently beneath the trees.

Planting trees is not a trend for us.
It is a way of living with nature rather than against it.
In a region where temperatures keep rising every year, shade matters.
Trees matter.
At Maison Polanka, the trees have sheltered biodiversity for generations — first as an orchard, then as a family estate.
The grounds were never designed as decoration alone.
They were imagined as a living sanctuary: for birds, squirrels, parrots, hornbills and butterflies; for fresh air and cool shade; and for people seeking calm.
Every tree planted today is a gesture for the years to come.
