From Skyline to Fairway: Cambodia’s Luxe Golf Getaway

Rosewood Phnom Penh and Vattanac Golf Resort offer a stay-and-play package that highlights the country’s premium lifestyle offering.

Cambodia might not be synonymous with golf or luxury travel, but Rosewood Phnom Penh and Vattanac Golf Resort aims to change that. The luxury hotel chain’s property in the heart of the Cambodian capital is the epitome of urban high life, in more ways than one.

Until the end of April this year, Rosewood Phnom Penh is offering the Rosewood Stay and Play package, in partnership with Vattanac’s award-winning 18-hole courses. The luxury getaway includes a daily round of golf at either of the two courses at Cambodia’s top golf resort, bespoke accommodation, breakfast at Brasserie Louis and roundtrip transportation.

The hotel, opened in 2018, and situated at Vattanac Capital Tower, it reaches 188m into the sky atop Phnom Penh’s tallest building. Boasting breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, Rosewood Phnom Penh offers leisure and business travellers to the city a stately vantage point to what is considered one of the most charming capitals in Southeast Asia.

Designed by Melbourne’s BAR Studio, the interior of the ultra-luxury property captures the essence of the country with a blend of Khmer architectural aspects, combines it with the country’s French colonial heritage, and splashing it over with contemporary luxury style.

Rosewood Phnom Penh is the ideal base to explore the city’s iconic landmarks of The Royal Palace, National Museum, Central Market, Wat Phnom, the art street, riverside and the central business district.

The 175 rooms including 37 suites are some of the largest available in Phnom Penh. Guestrooms at Rosewood Phnom Penh start from a spacious 50-square-meter Executive Room to the signature Norodom House at 225 square meters. High in the sky, the rooms and suites offer vistas of the city skyline and Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers.

Food lovers will certainly not be disappointed. The four dining venues offer innovative menus of Asian, Japanese and European descent. Brasserie Louis situated on level 35 presents a panoramic vista of the city skyline and Mekong River from floor-to-ceiling, wrap-around windows, and features French classic comfort foods and regional Cambodian favourites in a casual yet elegant environment.

The Living Room is residential-like retreat offering breakfast with a relaxed vibe and cozy corners. Iza is a Japanese izakaya- style restaurant that promises a lively meal with robata-yaki and irori charcoal grill open kitchen with counter seating as the main feature. The piece de resistance is likely to be Sora – translated as “sky” from Japanese – the highest bar in Phnom Penh, and uniquely perched on a cantilevered terrace on level 37 with unobstructed views of the Cambodian capital as its lofty spectacle.

A round of golf with buggy and caddie is an integral part of the Rosewood Stay and Play Package. Guests can choose from the East or West Course, both designed by golf legend Sir Nick Faldo.

Less than an hour’s drive from Rosewood Phnom Penh, the East and West Courses present different characteristics. The East is a course that demands strategic approaches given the many dramatic water features, creative bunkering and variety of vegetation to defend par. The West is defined by narrower and more undulating fairways, the variety of unique water features, and tricky greens turfed with Paspalum grass. Whichever one you choose as part of the package, you will be faced with spectacular settings that is enhanced with the many superbly crafted scale models of Khmer historical sites including Angkor Wat, Preah Vihear, Terrace of the Elephants and Bayon.

The golf resort is managed by Troon Golf, which ensures the highest of quality given the company’s sterling management reputation. For each year from 2020 to 2024, Vattanac Golf Resort won the Cambodia’s Best Golf Course Award from World Golf Awards. It also won the Best Luxury Golf Resort Cambodia title in 2022 as given by Luxury Lifestyle Awards. And in 2022, it won two titles – Golf Operations Team of the Year, and Agronomy Team of the Year – from 59 Club, a quality assurance and data provider company which assists clients to evaluate their customer journey from a detailed non-subjective criterion on various online platforms.

The Rosewood Stay and Play Package with Vattanac Golf Resort brings together arguably Cambodia’s top hotels and golf resorts in one luxurious offering. Our guess is that signing up for it will likely coerce you into extending your stay and enjoying more of what both properties have to offer.
