I recently hosted a week long yoga and temples retreat at Navutu Dreams resort. This is my experience. The communication from start to finish with the lovely and very accommodating Kimseang was indeed seamless. Although I was on the other side of the world and we started conversing 7 months prior, Kimseang was always prompt in her replies and very helpful with all my request and questions. Once I arrived in Cambodia ahead of my retreat, we met and she continued to support and assist with all the pre-retreat needs. Her entire team at the front office where kind, helpful and considerate of our needs. All the staff from the kitchen to the restaurant and the cleaners were always super friendly and have such a lovely energy. Our rooms where facing the pool and the ambience after a long day out and about was exactly what we needed: Peaceful, relaxing and quiet. The rooms are lovely and whenever we had small issues, they were tended to immediately in the loveliest manner. The food is delicious, specially the local dishes. The Yoga shala is functional, everything that is needed is available (bolsters, mats, straps candles, incense) and whatever extra requirements we had (daily fresh lotus flowers) where promptly arranged without a fuss. I was blessed to collaborate with the in house Sound healer Stephane, on one evening, which was a truly special addition to our retreat. I met the kind and gentle Tommy who's yin yoga class on my last night (post-retreat facilitator recovery!) was exactly what I needed to recalibrate. I also had the pleasure of meeting Angelo Kaplar - ceremonialist, plant medicine facilitator and lovely soul who also works with the resort and hope to work together on the next retreat at Navutu.
Navutu Dreams is a resort with a vision and a heart, authentic, open to feedback and willing to fine tune their services at every step of the way. This makes them a wonderful partner for retreats and a place I will most definitely return to in the future for my next one. Thank...

Read moreNavutu is like a dream! As soon as you arrive you know it’s going to be just perfect with a friendly welcome and drinks on arrival. Arriving after long days of looking at the amazing temples, it’s the perfect antidote to come home to this luxury resort away from all the hustle bustle. Relax by the 3 pools, enjoy a massage, facial or yoga session. The breakfast each morning is delicious and lots of options to choose from and the cappuccinos are spot on. The service is incredibly friendly and always helpful. They arranged for a bday cake for my husband and sang him ‘happy birthday’ and arranged a car service very late the night before when we decided we wanted to go to the Kulen waterfalls( shout out to Mr Choi who was a great driver and tour guide). Pauli was our main tuk tuk driver and he was always smiling, warm & friendly. He gave good advice on which temples to visit and when. Ben 10 was a great car driver picking us up and taking us to the airport. I also loved the eco friendly aspect of the resort with water refill stations, glass water bottles and no plastic toiletries. Yes, it is a bit far out of town ( 20-25 mins by tuk tuk) from the temples and 15 mins into town but it’s worth it. We stayed for 4 nights but we could have stayed so much longer! Siem Reap had a great vibe, incredible food at all the restaurants and the markets and pub street are fun too. We can’t wait to...
