Sojourn Boutique Villas supports community projects in a nearby village

Sojourn Boutique Villas

One of Siem Reap's most unique places to stay is also one of its most caring. A socially responsible resort of 10 villas set within palm-filled gardens around a swimming pool, Sojourn supports the poverty-stricken residents of Treak village where the property is located. Most staff are from Treak and 7% of profits go to a village enrichment programme, providing water filters, garbage collection, and tree grants. Guests can do a "walk-and-talk" tour of the village, chatting to locals and visiting an off-the-beaten-track pagoda and Khmer temple, devoid of tourists.Cooking classes, moonlit theatre, and destination dining – breakfast on Tonlé Sap perhaps – are also offered.
