Guests arriving at sunrise now find something unfamiliar at Angkor Wat: solitude. The temple’s western causeway, usually filled with tour groups by six in the morning, now offers an unbroken view across the moat to the rising towers. Fewer travellers have made the trip this year, and those who do are getting a version of Angkor rarely experienced. Anantara Angkor Resort has built ‘Angkor and the Lotus’ for this moment, a curated offer around two of its signature experiences. The package takes its cue from the lotus, a sacred flower carved into Angkor Wat’s stone and long a symbol in Cambodia of rebirth, purity and enlightenment. Guests follow that thread across a single day, from dawn at the temple to an evening at a lotus farm beyond its grounds.
