Welcome to My Key Polanka – A Private Khmer Home Experience in Angkor-Siem Reap. My Key Polanka is a beautifully preserved traditional Khmer house, thoughtfully designed to offer guests an authentic experience of Khmer family living. Nestled within the serene and lush surroundings of the Angkor Park area-just a few-minute drive from Siem Reap’s bustling Old Market and Pub Street-this charming residence is embraced by nature, towering trees, and a friendly local community. Recently transformed into a private villa by an experienced hotelier with a deep passion for guest satisfaction, My Key Polanka offers a unique alternative to conventional hotels. This private retreat with a swimming pool is designed for travelers seeking comfort, privacy, and a sense of home. As we like to say: “It’s not a hotel, it’s a way of life.” Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire house, which includes four well-appointed bedrooms (three with double beds and one twin room), making it ideal for families or groups of friends. The home is perfectly suited for modern travel needs, offering a sense of safety, space, and personal connection-an ideal setup in the post-pandemic world. A spacious rooftop terrace invites guests to unwind and enjoy memorable evenings, while the property is also ideal for intimate gatherings or group celebrations. The home-like dining area and fully equipped kitchenette provide everything needed for preparing your own meals, adding to the relaxed, self-sufficient experience. Located just behind the peaceful Wat Polanka pagoda, the property is a short walk from local shops and eateries, making it easy to immerse yourself in the rhythm of local life. Surrounded by a lush tropical garden and forest-like ambiance, it’s a perfect base for exploring the wonders of Angkor Wat and nearby temples, just 7 kilometers away.

With over two decades of hospitality experience, I began my journey in 1999, taking a leap of faith into the world of luxury hospitality. I’ve held key leadership roles with renowned properties, including Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor and La Résidence d’Angkor by Orient Express. For 12 years, I proudly served as General Manager for five boutique luxury hotels under the Temple Group, following successful tenures at HanumanAlaya Hotels and Karavansara Retreat & Residences. My mission is to deliver heartfelt hospitality through personalized, authentic experiences. My Key Polanka is a reflection of that passion-a private, comfortable, and culturally rich retreat for travelers looking to connect deeply with Cambodia.
