This investment commentary, published by IPS Cambodia, highlights how Siem Reap’s evolving connectivity, lifestyle repositioning and renewed global attention are shaping its return as one of Cambodia’s most compelling provincial real estate markets.
Summary
The launch of an Emirates wide-body aircraft route in June 2025 reconnects Siem Reap to long-haul markets and reinforces global confidence in the city.
A strategic partnership between Angkor Grace Wellness Resort and TUI BLUE links the destination to a network of 20 million travellers, elevating its international visibility.
Demand for luxury villas with private pools and landscaped gardens is rising among European and Southeast Asian buyers seeking lifestyle-led property choices.
High-quality villa supply remains limited, especially properties built to international standards with open-plan layouts and resort-style amenities.
Urban revitalisation in Wat Bo Village introduces boutique cafés, co-working spaces and new condo projects, contributing to creative, community-driven renewal.
The KOICA-funded riverfront makeover adds 5 km of improved walkways, landscaped seating and pedestrian bridges, strengthening commercial appeal.
Mixed-use developments such as Rose Apple Square support long-stay living, digital nomads and local entrepreneurs, signalling broader diversification in Siem Reap’s economic base.
