From saltwater to infinity edge, travelers and expats alike take pride in knowing where to find the best pools in town. With the heat being unbearable at times, it’s good to have a few favorites in your back pocket, depending on your mood. These are our top pool picks.
Patio Hotel
For the pool with the best view of Phnom Penh, head to the rooftop of Patio Hotel. Its expansive view plus its infinity edge design makes this one a must.
Rambutan Resort
A quick getaway within the city is the Rambutan Resort. Grab a bite to eat, take a dip in the saltwater pool and spend the afternoon lying out on their modern patio.
Olympic Stadium
Despite never hosting the Olympics, this pool is the standard 50-meter Olympic size with diving board and all. For an afternoon of laps and serious swimming, the stadium pool is the best location.
Samsara Villa
A standard day of lounging can easily be accomplished at Samsara Villa. The atmosphere and service create the perfect day-at-the-pool vibe, so order another cocktail and put your feet up.
Lyla Center
For a family-friendly swimming location, Lyla Center definitely wins. With small water slides and an indoor activity area, this pool is fun for everyone’s inner child and actual children.
