Laze by the pool at Aquarius

We consider that slacking off and having a fun day with the family at weekends is a must in order to stay energized, focused, motivated and joyous during the week.

This weekend, I booked a table for three at the Aquarius Urban Resort’s rooftop. The serene setting is created by the pristine white walls, which are complemented by green plants.

We indulged ourselves by swimming in the pool, reading a book, eating or simply lounging around sipping white wine while looking out over Phnom Penh’s gorgeous cityscape.

Gliding through an infinity glass walled crystal clear salt-water swimming pool was relaxing, healing, and excellent exercise, among other things. For us, simply being near water is already soothing.

What we really liked about the place was their pleasant pool, as it’s a great respite on the top floor. They also serve delicious cuisine. My son ordered pork ribs with steamed rice, while my husband ordered a burger and I ordered a Mexican meal. The staff were friendly, helpful and the service was good.

Overall, it was a restful fun escape in the heart of the city, away from the hustle and bustle.
